Tarot and Arcana unlocks

Steam hotfix 2.1.6Updated

On this page

Find the Emperor’s Tarot on Imperial Shipyard for the Warhammer 40,000 deck. Find the Celestial Orrery on Under-Empire for Age of Sigmar’s Celestial Arcana. Each universe has ten cards represented in the released data; enabling its deck is separate from unlocking every card.

Relic and card objectives

The Tarot relic is tied to Imperial Shipyard progression. The Orrery is tied to Under-Empire and its Arcanoscope discovery objective. Use the stage unlock chain and map relics to prepare access before searching for the deck.

Many later card objectives require reaching a level with a named character. Examples include level 50 with Malum Caedo for Astartes, Kozlowski for The God-Emperor and Canoness Aurora Veritas for The Silver Key. Their prerequisite deck objectives still matter.

The database’s card filter includes all twenty represented cards, current effects and objective links. Their Roman numerals are card identifiers, not a power ranking.

Healing cards have different costs

Card Useful effect Condition or drawback
The Tree of Life Doubled healing and immunity to seven harmful statuses Overhealing grants Blessed for a duration based on excess healing
The Realm of Ghyran Doubled healing, harmful-status immunity and level-based growth All enemy bosses receive Healing
Glimmerlust Currency heals and Tithe increases Healing pickups become currency; a minute without currency causes Bleeding

Realm of Ghyran is a concrete reason a boss can regenerate health. It is not proof that every stubborn boss has that card active. Check the selected Arcana before interpreting a slow health bar as a missing damage statistic.

Followers can improve or reduce a card

The Young Warrior grants five Rerolls and a per-follower Veterancy/Reload benefit. The Realm of Ulgu instead supplies Strength and Sustain bonuses that shrink with additional followers, alongside selection controls and an emergency low-Wounds effect.

A large retinue and a small-retinue route therefore have different card conditions. Callis and Toll already illustrates an exactly-one-follower character condition; adding a companion can change several parts of that setup at once.

Status cards and extra lives

The Silver Key improves status application, duration and damage by 20% and cycles beneficial and harmful statuses. Dracothian shares the status improvement but gives level-one weapons three extra Attacks instead of that cycle.

The God-Emperor and Anvil of Apotheosis provide level-based Redeployments. Their consumed-revive rewards differ, as explained in Redeployment. Treat those cards as different rule sets, not interchangeable sources of an identical revive engine.
