- Uncommon (U)
- Rare (R)
- Super Rare (SR)
- Union Rare (UR)
- Action Point (AR)
There are also ★, ★★, and ★★★ parallel foils with different arts and foil patterns.
What Are the Union Arena Pull Rates?
There aren’t any official pull rates yet but anecdotally I’ve pulled 4 SRs and one ★ per booster box. APs are said to be a case hit ie. one per case and ★★ and ★★★ are even harder to pull than that.
Will Union Arena be Available in English?
So far only the Japanese version of the game has been announced. Maybe if there’s enough traction Bandai will release the game in english.
They seem to be doing well with One Piece, Digimon, and Dragon Ball Super card games so it only makes sense. The licensing would be another issue so who knows for sure?
Can you Grade Bandai Union Arena Cards?
Yes both PSA and CGC, the world’s premier card graders, grade Union Arena cards. CGC does too. If you want to evaluate and preserve cards in your collection you can submit to these grading companies.
Can You Mix and Match Cards from Different Anime?
No you cannot. Your deck has to be from one set, but the fun part is that you can battle any other set. Bleach vs Jujutsu Kaisen for example.
How Much Do Union Arena Cards Cost
Booster boxes have an MSRP of $57 (¥7,700).
