Rolling explained — Anime Card Duels Wiki

Rolling is how you get cards. Every roll picks one card from your roll pool. Rare cards are hard to get, but Luck, packs and realms make them more likely.

The roll buttons

ROLL - one roll, with the pack opening animation.
AUTO ROLL - keeps rolling by itself until you turn it off.
Quick Roll - skips the pack animation and shows a small card instead. You can hide the small card in Settings > Rolling (“Quick Roll Card”).

How fast Auto Roll and Quick Roll go depends on your Roll Speed. Roll Speed comes from potions, some traits and the Roll Speed line in Level Upgrades.

Luck

Luck makes rare cards more likely on every roll, instant rolls included. Everything below adds up.

The luck counter. Every 10 rolls, the next roll gets +3 Luck. The counter is on the Roll button.
Luck Potions from quests, towers, crafting and the Store.
Traits with Luck on the cards in your Deck. The same card twice in a Deck does not stack its trait’s Luck.
Level Upgrades: the Luck line.
Relics, artifacts and equipment you wear. See Crafting, relics and gear.
The game’s Roblox group: join it for a flat Luck bonus.
Friends: every Roblox friend in your server adds a little Luck (the Invite Friends button under Upgrades).
Follow For Luck: the NPC in the lobby gives a small Luck bonus for each game owner you follow on Roblox.
VIP game pass. See Store and game passes.
Server Luck: a boost for everyone in the server. Players can buy it in the Store, and the team sometimes turns on free Global Luck for every server, with a countdown next to it.
Realms multiply everyone’s Luck while they are on (see below).

The Luck page lists every source with its current number.

Borders

Every card comes in four borders: Basic, Gold, Rainbow and Secret. Each border is its own roll. Each step up is 100 times rarer and 4 times stronger than the one before.

Border Chance makes Gold, Rainbow and Secret rolls more likely. It comes from the Border Chance Potion, some traits, Level Upgrades and the Better Borders pass.
Card Merge turns 100 copies of one border into 1 copy of the next border. Card Deconstruct does the opposite.

Card packs

The Basic Pack is always in your rolls. Other packs unlock as your total rolls grow. Once one is unlocked, equip it at the Card Packs stand and its cards join every roll. You can equip one pack at a time, or two with the +1 Card Pack Slot pass.

The Card Packs page shows every pack, its cards and how many total rolls it needs.

Some cards are not in any pack at first:

Story cards join your rolls once you beat their NPC on Easy. See Story Mode.
Boss, raid, rift, draft, questline and pass cards join your rolls once you own any border of them. The game marks them “ROLLABLE FROM PACKS”.

Boss Chance and Rift Card Chance

Boss Chance makes story boss cards more likely. It comes from the Boss Potion, traits and Level Upgrades.
Rift Card Chance makes rift cards you have unlocked more likely. It comes from the Rift Potion, traits and Level Upgrades.

Realms

A realm is a server-wide event. While it is on, everyone in the server gets extra Luck and the realm’s own cards can drop. Realm cards are stronger than normal cards of the same rarity.

A realm can start by itself at any second.
A Realm Potion rolls a realm for the whole server. Named realm potions, like the TYBW Realm Potion and the Dragon Realm Potion, start that exact realm.
If a realm is already on, only a rarer realm takes over.

The Realms page lists each realm, how long it lasts, its Luck and its cards.

Instant rolls

Instant Roll items (500x up to 250,000x) open many rolls at once from your Backpack.

They use the same odds as normal rolls: your packs, realm, Luck, potions and traits all count.
They count as rolls for your total rolls, your level, the Battle Pass and the luck counter.
Use All opens every instant roll you have in one go.
The Double Roll pass does not change instant rolls.
Instant Roll Reveal (Settings > Rolling) shows your best card first, then the rest. Double-click to skip, or turn it off.

You get instant rolls from towers, quests, story bosses, the Card Index, daily rewards, codes, shops and the Store. Each item page says where it comes from, for example 250,000x Instant Roll.

Pity

Normal card rolls have no pity counter. Pity shows up in other places:

Traits: the rarest traits have a pity counter. See Traits and Stat Rerolls.
Stat grades: UR and LR have a pity counter.
Boss card drops: rift, raid, World Boss and Draft cards drop with a pity counter you can see in the boss window. When it fills, the card is yours.

Potions

Luck, Roll Speed, Border Chance, Boss and Rift potions last a set time. The best one of each kind runs first. The Longer Potions pass and the Potion Duration line in Level Upgrades make them last longer. Each potion’s page says what it does and where to get it, for example Luck Potion 3.

Rare roll messages

Settings > Rolling and Settings > Chat control the big pop-up for rare rolls and the chat messages for rare rolls in your server and in every server.
