PVP Card Battle is a monthly update that was added on the 18th of June, 2020. It features battling other players using Superpower Cards. Players can battle each other by having 5 different Superpower Cards. To start a battle, wrench other players and tap 'Card Battle' or by doing the command /pvpcard <player>.

When the player wins, they get Gems, Card Battle XP and a random Superpower Card. If the player loses, they get 1/5th Card Battle XP of the winner and they lose all 5 Superpower Cards they used. As the player's level progresses, they get more gems after each win. Every 5 levels, the player must renew their Card Battle License for a gem cost to continue to battle.

Rewards are determined based from the player with the lowest level. If a player who's level 30 battles another player who's level 15, and the player who's level 30 wins, the player gets the level 15 win reward.

If both players end up with a tie, the rewards will split with the two players. No cards will be consumed and the prize will be based from the player with the lowest level.

Below are the rewards the player gets if they won/loss and the cost after every 5 levels to renew the Card Battle License:

Trivia

• June 18th was the third time the update was released. It was first introduced on June 11th, then on June 14th - it was frequently moved due to constant server crashes and disconnections.
• Beta server was opened for two weeks to test out the update from September 2 to September 19.
• The final update was released on September 21 with an increased level cap (from 30 to 100) and a 30 minute cool down mod similar to the malpractice.
• The Superpower-Defeated mod has been changed to 5 minute from 30 minute on October 4.
