How the ladder, team chemistry and card skills work.
Ladder
Every club starts at 1,000 points. Ladder games move points up or down: beating a stronger club earns more, losing to a weaker one costs more, up to 32 a game.
| Tier | Points to enter | Owned collectibles in lineup | Lineup cap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rookie | Start | — | 720 |
| Amateur | 1,200 | 3 | 760 |
| Pro | 1,400 | 6 | 800 |
| All-Star | 1,600 | 9 | 850 |
- Moving up
- Reach the next tier's points with enough owned collectibles in your lineup. Short on collectibles? You hold just below the line until you field them.
- Moving down
- Fall 50 points below your tier's line and you drop a tier.
- Games and tickets
- 10 ladder games a day are free; after that each costs 2 tickets, up to 50 a day. A win earns 3 tickets, a loss or tie 1. New clubs start with 10.
- Defending
- While you're away, your lineup defends when other clubs challenge it. Points move either way, and each defending win earns 1 ticket (up to 20 a day).
- Seasons
- A season is a calendar month. When a new one starts, your points move halfway back toward your tier's line (Rookie: 1,000).

From card to ballplayer
Every card's ten feelings and its rating become 23 baseball skills. Each skill blends certain feelings (Power leans on Heart and Brave, Control on Warm and Good), and a higher rating lifts every skill.
The formula
Skill = (blend of feelings) × (0.7 + 0.3 × rating / 100) + 0.15 × rating, kept between 1 and 100
Kesuhi Blush 74 · power
Blend = Heart 74 × 28% + Brave 100 × 27% + Grow 42 × 13% + Laugh 93 × 12% + the other six 70.0 × 20% = 78.3
78.3 × (0.7 + 0.3 × 74 / 100) + 0.15 × 74 = 78.3 × 0.922 + 11.1 = 83
What feeds each skill
Each row shows how much of a skill comes from each feeling. The darker the cell, the more it counts; the biggest share is outlined.
