Animation Throwdown: The Quest for Cards - The complete list of card skills and abilities
What does what
One of the most important things to know about in Bob's Burgers / Family Guy / Futurama / King of the Hill / American Dad mash-up Animation Throwdown: The Quest for Cards *exhales*, is card abilities.
Card not only deal damage and protect your hero, but can do special things to help out in battle. The problem is: you need to remember what all the symbols mean! So here's a handy guide.
Also note that a skill may have a number near it, which tells you how powerful the effect is.
And the skill may also come with a star symbol, which means the ability will only effect cards from the same show. So a Futurama card with a Cheer ability and a star will only increase the attack power of Futurama cards.
