Origins
The very first thing that you will do in EXODE is to select your Origin. This card is used as a thematic background for your new game. Origins are “like character classes” – except that they apply to your entire group. Or your Origin card is like your summoner in Splinterlands. You can’t use cards not of your Origin unless:
- the card has the versatile keyword (the equivalent to a neutral monster in Splinterlands), or
- you have added a Faction and the card is of that Faction (Note that some Origins may add Factions as they level-up.
There are four Origin Types (Civilian, Criminal, Military, Scientific) and seven Origin Cards (three found in Starter Packs and four in Boosters). The Origin Cards are as follows:
- Ark Scientist – Origin: Scientific (starter)
- Cruise Ship Captain – Origin: Civilian (boosters)
- Elected Leader – Origin: Civilian (starter)
- Navy Lieutenant – Origin: Military (starter)
- Repentant Pirate – Origin: Criminal (boosters)
- Secret Agent – Origin: Military (boosters)
- Stranded Trader – Origin: Civilian (boosters)
You’ll start your eXode experience by buying one of the three starter packs in the store.
