Card Summons grant new jobs and abilities to the Warriors of Light!
Let's take a look at content of the first lineup, and the characteristics of each job and ability!
There are three job types. All jobs of each type generally tend to possess the following characteristics:
Ability cards also have a designated job type. When using an ability card of the same job type as the job currently equipped, the ability will receive a bonus in intensity and bonus Break Power proportional to your Magic stat.
Both job cards and ability cards have elemental affinities, and you can only equip ability cards that match the elements that your job can use. Note that the elements that each job can use vary, even within the same job type.
To get a new Job, use Summon Tickets or magicites to perform a Job Summon.
A job card obtained through summoning has very different stats even if it shares the same name as advanced jobs (Warrior, Mage, etc.) unlocked in the starting jobs' Skill Panels.
These summoned job cards require a large number of skillseeds to fully develop, but ultimately they'll become far stronger than the equivalent basic job.
Let's look at the jobs currently available from Job Summon.

Abilities have differing areas of effect, as defined below:
Ability areas of effect are represented by icons as seen above in the battle screen UI. Make sure to use the ability that deals maximum damage depending on the enemy's location and element.
There are two kinds of Ability Cards: normal cards and "Fast Learner" cards.
Fast Learner cards start with their ability level at max, so they can immediately be used in any deck.
However, they cannot be augmented, whereas normal cards can become stronger as they are enhanced.
In addition, Fast Learner cards are only available in the Ability Shop.
Fast Learner cards have a "+" next to its rarity display, such as "★3+".
