Cards are one of the most important mechanics in Animal Valley. Unlike your workforce, the bonuses from cards are permanent and stay with you even when you fly to a new village.
What are Cards?
Cards represent managers and special abilities that significantly boost your progress. With them, you can:
Automate Production: Assign managers like the Mouse to automatically collect profits from buildings for you.
Boost Income: Multiply the amount of Acorns earned from specific buildings.
Increase Efficiency: Speed up your bears' work and increase their strength.
Unlock Abilities: Gain active powers like Lightning to instantly clear obstacles.
Card Rarity and Types
Not all cards are the same! Their rarity determines how powerful they can become:
Common (Blue): Basic managers, such as the Mouse (Tent), Frog (Well), or Pig (Farm).
Uncommon (Green): More advanced managers who provide additional boost categories.
Rare (Orange): Skilled specialists like the Squirrel (Loot), Ant (Buildings), or Rat (Bears).
Epic (Purple): Powerful leaders like the Fox (Lumberjack) or special Abilities.
Managers: On Duty and Shared Boosts
Each building can have multiple managers.
Manager on Duty: The primary manager assigned to the building (e.g., the Common Mouse for the Tent). The specific manager on duty may vary from village to village.
Shared Bonuses: Even if a manager is not "On Duty," their passive boosts (like Profit Multipliers) remain active at all times. This means a Common and an Uncommon manager working for the same building will combine their powers to maximize your income!
How to Upgrade Cards
To make your cards stronger, you need two things: Duplicates and Nectar.
Collect Duplicates: Find the same card multiple times in chests or the shop to fill the progress bar.
Use Nectar: Once you have enough duplicates, spend Nectar 🍯 to increase the card's level.
Unlock New Tiers: Upgrading cards unlocks locked stats like Speed, Manager Chance, or Synergy.
Note: If you are short on Duplicates or Nectar, the game will offer you the option to complete the upgrade using Gems.
Where to Find Cards
Chests: Found behind obstacles or as rewards for clearing areas.
New Villages: Some cards only become available once you reach a specific village, such as Village 3, Village 4.
