Each Pal brings distinct traits and abilities that shape deck strategies and lead to thrilling confrontations against hostile threats.

Set 1 is mainly about collectability. All cards boast newly created artwork and avoids reused assets from the video game. Teaser visuals showcased redesigned versions of popular Pals like Lifmunk, Rooby, and Jormuntide, tailored specifically for the trading card aesthetic.
