Reference Cards are a card type introduced in Gundalian Invaders products. They allow Battle Gear and Special Evolution Bakugan to have inherent special effects on the Game.
Inclusion[edit]
Unlike Gate Cards and Ability Cards, Reference Cards are not randomly distributed with Bakugan. All Battle Gear and Special Evolution Bakugan include a matching Reference Card for the piece. This prevents ruling errors, as the card only lists powers.
Rulings[edit]
While the exact rules for Reference Cards have yet to be announced, several things can be inferred.
- The card is neither in the Used or Unused pile.
- Its blue back signals that it is not a Gate Card nor an Ability Card.
- The card has no effect of its own, it only tells you what its matching piece can do.
- You can only use a Reference Card if you have its matching support piece or Bakugan.
In addition, Reference Cards have different rules depending on if it is for a Battle Gear or a Special Evolution Bakugan.
Battle Gear Reference[edit]
Reference Cards for Battle Gear have two effects denoted by two different Attributes.
- If the Gear is attached to a Bakugan of a listed Attribute, the corresponding effect happens.
- If the Gear's Color Attribute matches the Gate color, the Gear's owner chooses which effect takes place.
Special Evolution Reference[edit]
Reference Cards for Special Evolution Bakugan have a Power Level limit and two effects.
- The Power Level limit prevents you from Evolving to this Bakugan until there are that many Gate Cards in everybody's used plies.
- The first effect is Evolution, it lists which Bakugan you must swap out to bring the Evolution Bakugan into your unused pile.
- The second effect is Unique, an Ability like effect that the Evolved Bakugan always has.
