Shuffle
Note:	Restock all Spells in the deck.

Description

Ejects all remaining loaded spells, and reloads them. The initial starting shuffle time is 2.5 seconds for all character kits except:

• 1.5 for Saffron (Solo)
• 2.0 for Violette (both Doubletime and Aria)

After each shuffle:

• Shuffle time is increases by 0.15 seconds until the end of battle, to a maximum shuffle time of 3 seconds.
• The player's Shield reduced by 40%.

Strategy and Synergy

Shuffle is a player only mechanic, this means enemies and bosses don't activate or have this mechanic for their own custom abilities, the exception if Shiso who can force the player to Shuffle.

Shuffle can be looked upon as a temporary time out from casting spells, although seen as a way of unable to do anything for a long amount of time, it actually still allow you to still Mana through Mana Regen which helps in casting some spells the moment you get your deck restored.

Power of Shuffling

Shuffling manually is good if you want to refresh your deck or not cast certain spells that are Consumed on cast at the moment of the fight, so play your cards wisely if you want to combo certain spells correctly.

Shuffling has a global effect of "On Shuffle" functionality, which causes all artifacts that trigger through shuffle to activate, for example, Scales give some Shield, Life Jacket gives Defense and so on.

Sleight casts a similar "On Shuffle" effect that activates all Shuffle artifacts the player owns to be utilized, some artifacts are even further empowered such as Life Jacket which only removes the buff when the deck gets restocked, meaning that the Defense will last even farther and will also stack with an extra layer of another Defense from Life Jacket resulting in twice the amount momentarily, Sleight does a lot of things and can compliment builds in a way where it can be used offensively or defensively depending on the "On Shuffle" artifacts you currently own, all of that was said here also applies to Cover Fire.

Bolt Action works similarly to Sleight with a few differences other than activating the effect when an enemy dies, though this tend to be weaker against bosses due the lack of enemies spawning, but if you can get kills and the right artifacts, you could activate a lot of powerful and useful artifacts to protect and help you to finish the fight.

Important note that Sleight and Bolt Action do not reduce your Shield amount on cast.

Enemy Shuffle Artifacts

Enemies tend to have artifacts applied to give them some difficulty and specialty in the fight, not all enemies tend to have artifacts but when they do they tend to activate when any sort of "On Shuffle" effect happens from the player and this is meant specifically to make them dangerous by scaling or temporary boost them if the fight last longer than intended.

The artifacts are the following:

• +30 Shield similar to Scales.
• +5 Defense for 10 seconds, defense stacks but each stack has it's own duration.
• +2 permanent Spell Power similar to casting Focus.

If you don't shuffle a lot, these artifacts will do very little, but in smaller decks and depending on the artifact the lethality of the enemy and/or boss increases even further, terminating them is high priority.

Double Edge

Not to be confused with the artifact Double Edge.

Flash Loader and Duel Disk have a powerful but also downsides depending on how you look at them, removing the shuffle wait time makes one of the Shop pacts trivial, empower artifacts and spells that increases the duration of the next shuffle time like Ramjet, but at the cost weakening artifacts that requires you to be "while Shuffling" to have their effects for the moment, rendering them completely useless in the process, not to mention that Duel Disk removes the ability to manually shuffle and forces you to spend 6 mana worth of Jam,
