There are three kinds of character cards: Forward character card: attackers, blockers and characters with various abilities. Backup character card: producing CP and/or with various abilities. Summoned Creature card: one shot ability. If the player discards a card, they produce 2 CP. If the player taps (dulls) his backup character card, he produces 1 CP.
