Wild Mode

edit

In a wild match, the player has to set up a group of four male superstars, two female superstars, and two support cards. The player gets to pick from any cards that are unlocked between seasons 1-10. The player gets to choose from three opponents, which are similar to the player's tier. The game provides the number of matches won and lost by the opponent. After selecting an opponent, the player begins a match against the opponent's deck. All games of Wild are set inside the NXT[2][circular reference] arena in season 4. In season 3, they would be held in a gym or a bar with WWE logos throughout the venue. Each Wild match features a variety of matches in which the player selects one or two cards with or without a support card suiting to the one or two stats to be compared in the match and that the match is for the male superstars, female superstars, or tag teams. In such a game, there are usually three matches, each carrying one point, which goes to the winning player. A match can end in a tie, in which case both players earn one point each, possibly leading to a tie between the players. In such a case, there is an extra match and its winner wins the whole match. Each win awards the player two picks whereas a loss provides only one pick and a perfect 3–0 victory provides an extra pick which makes a total of three picks.

King of the Ring

edit

In King of the Ring (KOTR), matches are simulated. The player builds a deck of eight superstars, two female superstars, and two support cards, which determines the player's tier and rewards. Then the AI matches up the player with 14 other players/bots and the player's lineup plays simulated matches with each of the opponent player's squad three times (not consecutively) in a particular order, with each match lasting 10 minutes and a gap of 50 minutes between matches. Half of the players of the deck is active and loses stamina (8 per match) and the other inactive half gains stamina (40 per match). With the decrease in stamina, the stats of a card decrease as well, so the player might use energy cards obtained from the card picks to fill a card's energy bar (players can gather up to 40) and the player might also use one or more of the stat boosts to increase the particular stat(s) of each card in the active part of the deck by 15 percent (players can gather five of each boost) for the next match only. After playing 45 matches, the top eight players move onto the contenders bracket and the quarter finals, where there are two or three consecutive matches between two players of the top eight each in order to find the winner. Players each receive KOTR rewards as per the position 45 minutes after their last matches.

In season 2, KOTR was changed so that the deck consists of seven superstars, three divas, and two support cards. Then the AI matches up the player with 15 other players/bots and the player's lineup plays simulated matches with each of the opponent player's squad three times (not consecutively) in a particular order with each match lasting 10 minutes and a gap of 50 minutes between each match. The full deck is in play, unlike Season 1. The stamina system is the same as in Season 1, except the total number of Energy cards that can be accumulated increased to 25 from 10. After playing 45 matches the top eight players move onto the contenders bracket and the quarter finals, where there are two or three consecutive matches between two players of the top 8 each in order to find the winner. Players each receive KOTR rewards as per the position 45 minutes after their last matches.

In Season 4, KOTR changed again. KOTR in Season 4 splits a total of 32 players into 4 teams of 8 people each with 2 sets of 16 players starting in either a 205 Live or NXT bracket. In season 4 KOTR, there are no more qualifying matches and all players are instead put straight into a contender's bracket where all four groups are displayed. Every time the player and/or some of the player's group members win, the player is rewarded for moving onto the next stage in the bracket and moves up to either the Raw or SmackDown bracket depending on which bracket the player advanced from. Players who came from the 205 Live bracket move up to the SmackDown bracket, while those in the NXT bracket move to the Raw bracket. However, losing players would be knocked out of the bracket and KOTR would end. KOTR in Season 4 takes just over a full day to complete, compared to the two or more days it took to complete in seasons 1–3. Rewards are given according to the player's KOTR tier.

People's Champion Challenge

edit

In a PCC, players chose one of the two sides available and played to add wins to the superstar's side they chose to earn points. PCC matches were just like Wild Mode matches, but here, the player got only three opponents to choose from with wins awarding points that could be earned by defeating the opponent chosen. Also, players could earn title matches through card picks earned from PCC matches, which, upon use, doubled the points that could be earned by winning against any of the three opponents, but these cards reset the board of cards available for picking once one such card is found. Players earned points to move up in the rankings and, at the end of the event, players were awarded cards on the basis of the winning side and the players' rankings.

On May 21, 2020, WWE SuperCard added a similar event mode as People's Champion Challenge, named Clash of Champions (titled after the pay-per-view of the same name), sharing previous features from People's Champion Challenge such as choosing two different sides, and elements from different events such as Last Man Standing and Giants Unleashed. Like most modes, Clash of Champions has a bout system with a free bout every 15 minutes.

On February 8, 2024, WWE SuperCard brought back People's Champion Challenge with Triple H and The Undertaker being the superstars to choose from.

Road to Glory

edit

In Road to Glory, the player must construct a team of 16 superstars, 4 female superstars, and 2 support cards. Before playing, players choose their opponents like they would with People's Champion Challenge to earn points. This mode works just like exhibition but with more matches. The mode is split in four rounds where each player is given four random cards. Play works like Wild Mode. After four rounds, the player who wins the most matches is the winner. Depending on the results of the match, the player can earn 3 to 9 draft picks on the board with a rare card or higher or a title match card resetting the board. After earning a certain number of points, the player can earn a card starting with WrestleMania 36 and work their way up to earn a special card that can only be obtained from the event. Like some other modes (i.e. Royal Rumble), this mode uses a bout system in which players can play five matches in a row. The player can earn a free match every 15 minutes or pay for bouts with credits.

Ring Domination

edit

This mode consists of a deck made of 10 Superstars and 2 Support cards (no female superstars). The mode is played on a 3x3 grid (9 tiles), and the aim is to own the most tiles at the end of bout. Players start with a hand of six cards (and two support cards) dealt randomly from their decks. Placing a card in a tile controls the tile for the player, and the opponent may use the cards' alignment to challenge for a tile. The challenge is a single match between the two cards based on randomly selected attributes, and the winner of the match controls the loser's tile. This goes on until all nine tiles are filled with cards. The player with the most tiles is the winner. This mode is contested player vs AI; the winner receives four picks, and the loser receives two. The picks go towards unveiling a special card. Once the card is fully revealed, the player receives that card. There is a special "Pick Doubler" boost that can be found that doubles the picks received from the next bout (win or lose). There are five free bout slots to start, and a new free bout is available every 15 minutes if a slot is open.

Team People's Champion Challenge (discontinued)

edit

This is an extension of the normal PK. A team is to be created consisting of four or more members to be eligible in the team PCC. Then there is a pool created of cards from each member. Each hand contains two superstars, one female superstar and one support card. Enhancements may or may not be contributed. When a Team CC starts, Every player has to choose a side, and the team will play for the side which has been chosen the most. But as in PCC, the winning superstar is the reward, irrespective of the team's choice.

The matchlock is like exhibition but each player gets three opponents to choose from with the points that can be earned by defeating the opponent instead of their tiers to determine the opponent's deck's difficulty level. Each deck will be randomly selected from the previously made pool of cards. Also one can earn title matches through card picks earned from PIC matches which upon use, triple the points that can be earned by winning against any of the three opponents but these cards reset the set of cards available for picking once one such card is found. The player earns points to move the team up in the rankings and at the end of the event is awarded cards on the basis of the winning side and the team's ranking.

Campaign

Campaign Mode is an always-on, single-player experience that pits you against a track of opponents that gradually increase in difficulty and intensity. As you progress through Campaign mode, you’ll need to come up with crafty solutions to beat different challenges presented to you along the way.

Campaign Mode is structured in a system of Stages, Bosses, and Maps. As you enter your Campaign, you’ll begin in the Rookie Map. Rookie is the first of three maps– those being Rookie, Amateur, and Pro. In each map you’ll encounter 12 Bosses, and 84 total Stages. As you complete each stage or boss, you’ll collect anywhere from 1-3 Stars, depending on your performance in the ring. You don’t need to play each stage perfectly to progress to the next one, but you will need to collect all of the available stars in a map to progress to the next map. This means that to advance, it may be more valuable for you to chase perfect matches than to simply win as many as possible.

Campaign works off of a variant of WILD Mode, presenting a straightforward but ever-varying challenge in each new stage.
