Card types, rarities and battle types

Each Dragon Ball Super Divers battle card shows HP, power, guard, starting ki, special-move energy, a special move and skills, plus a rarity and one of four battle types. The official rarities are Normal (N), Rare (R), Super Rare (SR), God Rare (GDR), Pick-Up Rare (PUR), Secret (SEC) and Extra Rare (EXR), and some cards have alternate-art parallel versions. The battle types are Impact, Boost, Rush and Limited.

Rarities

The official card guide says higher rarity tends to mean higher stats or stronger abilities. It also mentions very rare parallel cards with different art. The English Set 12 article calls these Alt-Art versions, marked SEC★ and GDR★.

N	Normal	Base rarity
R	Rare
SR	Super Rare
GDR	God Rare	Headline cards of each set; some have parallel art
PUR	Pick-Up Rare	Themed cards; Set 12 PURs form two-card art pairs, and Set 13 adds landscape SPECIAL LIMITED cards
SEC	Secret	Set 12 has two, Vegeta and Beerus, plus alt-art versions
EXR	Extra Rare	Introduced through campaign “chances”, such as the Shenron EXR events

Battle types

Type	Attacking	Defending
I — Impact	Big damage; good for special-move finishes	Lower guard and no ki-damage resistance, so it is easily stunned
B — Boost	Medium damage; combat power is 1.5× that of the other two types, so it often strikes first	Medium ki-damage resistance; balanced
R — Rush	Weak alone but triggers follow-up hits often	Higher guard and high ki-damage resistance; hard to stun
L — Limited	Only one per deck; strong support effects	—

Skill families

Action skills come in two kinds. Battle action skills are chosen from one team member at set moments. Standby action skills fire automatically at their timing. Unit skills trigger when two or three named characters share an area, and a unit attack replaces the partners’ special moves with a joint one once per battle. Damage and ki damage also differ by whether an attack is a physical strike or a ki blast.
