This set features 4 complete fighters: Eugenia, Galdred, Umina, and Remiliss. Everything you need to play is in the box! Eugenia delves into madness through sorcery, driving her opponents to the brink by destroying their cards and growing stronger as her enemies' situation becomes more dire. Galdred seeks power through science and alchemy, but a darker force drives him. As he dives into the deepest reaches of human potential, his obsession consumes and transforms him... Umina calls forth horrors from another world with the melodies of her songs. Her powers are difficult to control, but by the same token, difficult to anticipate... Remiliss is a living weapon of mass destruction with the ability to compound her attacks for additional power. Once she unleashes her true form, she becomes nearly unstoppable! —description from the publisher
