Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q)

What’s Wonder Pick and how does it work?

Wonder Pick is an interesting feature that allows you to see the five cards that were recently pulled from a booster pack by another player, often one of your in-game friends. You then have the opportunity to spend a resource called Wonder Stamina for a random chance to acquire one of those five face-down cards and add it to your own collection.

How much does Wonder Pick cost?

When you go to use Wonder Pick, you’ll notice that different packs have different Wonder Stamina costs. This cost is determined by the highest rarity card that was present in the pack when it was originally opened. If the pack contained a very rare card, it will cost more Wonder Stamina to attempt a pick.

How often do Wonder Picks refresh?

You’ll find that the cards available through Wonder Pick change periodically, typically every few hours. Keep an eye out during events, as some event-specific Wonder Pick selections might refresh more often, giving you more chances to pick.

What’s Wonder Stamina and how do I get more?

To use Wonder Pick, you’ll need Wonder Stamina. You start with a maximum of five, and it replenishes slowly over time – one point every 12 hours. For a faster recharge, you can use “Wonder Hourglasses.” These helpful items can be earned through various in-game activities like missions and daily rewards, or you can buy them using Shop Tickets.

What do Rewind Watches do?

Rewind Watches are items you can use to bring back Wonder Pick selections that have already expired. This gives you a limited window to spend Wonder Stamina and try to pick a card from those previously available options.
