Forge

The Forge

The Forge turns battle-earned materials and owned cards into evolved cards. If a combination has never been discovered, it can become an Alpha discovery. If it is known, the Forge returns the canonical result.

An ancient Kortstrid Forge where cards and materials combine into a new card.

Two-card workbench

No prompt box — parent cards drive compatibility, outcome, stats, and compiled center-art briefs for Kortstrid.

How forging works

Combine owned cards and materials. The Forge hashes your inputs and returns a canonical evolved card—or discovers a new Alpha recipe.

Materials needed

Battle-earned Echo Materials and salvaged yields feed recipes. Each card carries a composition map the Forge understands.

Known recipe vs Alpha

First discovery becomes an Alpha. Repeat the same combination and receive the same canonical result every time.

Voluntary salvage

Permanently break down an owned card for stronger materials. Requires confirmation—battle shatter never deletes your collection.

Provenance

Every forged card records its lineage—ingredients, forger, and discovery status.
