No matter what you're looking for, as long you want anime girls, then you've come to the right place.

## What is Convergence: Waifus Collide?

Convergence is the game where you can battle with your favourite girl(s), the true definition of "waifus collide".

You start the game with an Avatar card in front of you, which is the card that represents yourself in the battle. Currently, the Avatar only serves as a damage target, and often only providing supports to the other cards. During the course of the game, you summon Characters to fight for your Avatar. The aim of this game is to take all seven cards in your opponent's Life Charge. When the number of cards in the Life Charge reaches zero, that player loses the game. To defend against attacks, you can use your Characters to block them, or use Commands to eliminate some of the dangers. Terrains also exist to provide additional effects for both offence and defence. Upon taking damages, you can activate Distortion on cards to make a comeback.

There are six colours in the game:  Red,  White,  Green,  Yellow,  Black, and  Blue, each having its own strengths, weaknesses, and keywords.

## Communities

Being a custom CCG, obviously we can only promote the game through friendly means. If we even pay one cent for advertisement, the whole thing is already stepping over the line of copyright. We're literally living on the edges here. And of course, as a new player, you'd also need someone to guide you. For this reason, we've opened a Discord server! The link: https://discord.gg/UQwqpgH

## Bring out your textbooks

This wiki has (or at least should) contained everything you need to know about the game. In order to get through the rules, please visit Gameplay. You may also want to look through some card pages to get a gist on how the game looks.

After you've learnt the game, then you should download Vassal to join the fun. Information on how to download the simulator is located in Convergence - Vassal Engine.

## Colour divisions:

As this is just the start, I shall only briefly list out what each colour roughly does:

* Red: Aggressive, CP destruction
* White: Defensive, bounce cards to hand
* Green: Manipulate Energy Zone, gain lots of energy in a short amount of time
* Yellow: Spam Commands, removal by decreasing CP, healing
* Black: Trash manipulation, self-damage
* Blue: Energy Zone lock, OTK style

## Building a deck

* Each deck must contain exactly 50 cards, with maximum 4 copies of cards with the same set number.
* In addition, each deck should contain one Avatar card, which will be on the field face-up at the start of the game. The Avatar doesn't count as part of the deck.
* Deck restriction is very loose in this game, and since each colour has different properties, it's very hard to give a usual ratio. Really, just throw in your favourite girls and adjust from there.

## Advanced notes

* Since Character cards can be summoned from the Energy Zone anyway, it's advised to throw them into the Energy Zone in early game, so you have enough energy to use other cards with lower cost.
* Attacking opposing Characters isn't always the best option, especially since they can be re-summoned. If you really have to attack some, aim to attack the ones with the higher costs, so it's harder for them to come back.
* There is no limitations on how many cards with Distortion you can put in the deck. However, since most of them aren't getting any extra effects, if you fill your deck with just Distortion, you're basically just playing a vanilla deck, so this isn't recommended.
