Hunter Balance is an alignment system where Hunter may shift between Light and Dark paths. Hunter Balance changes based on actions the player takes, such as selecting certain conversation options or playing certain Cards in Combat.
Hunter Balance[]
Each of Hunter's cards belongs to one of three branches: Light, Dark, or Power. Hunter Balance shifts between Light and Dark depending on the player's actions. Power is primarily used to identify cards that are neither Light nor Dark, as there is no category "Power" for Hunter Balance.
