Tears of Themis cards – empathy, logic, and intuition

Tears of Themis is a romance detective game with card-collecting mechanics, and is the first of its kind from Mihoyo. The developer is best known for its expansive RPGs Honkai Impact 3rd and, of course, Genshin Impact – worlds apart from Tears of Themis. The detective title features various romanceable characters, all of which have their own stories, and plenty of cases to solve.

In our Tears of Themis cards guide, we explain how the card system works, how you get new cards, and why they are important. Each card has various attributes, stats, and skills, all of which play a part in how you handle yourself in debates, arguments, and other conversations – play your cards right, and you’re bound to be the victor.

If you’re just getting started with the game, you might want to check out our Tears of Themis characters guide to learn more about those around you. Or, more specifically, the people you can romance. Alternatively, you could play Mihoyo’s open-world RPG Genshin Impact. In which case, you should take a peek at our Genshin Impact tier list to see where the characters rank, or you can check out specific characters with guides such as Genshin Impact’s Raiden Shogun, and Genshin Impact’s Sara. We also have a Genshin Impact code guide – freebies for everyone.

What are Tears of Themis cards?

Tears of Themis cards – also known as visions – are a vital mechanic within the game. Each one boasts different stats that come in handy when facing different situations. For example, one card may have logic as its primary attribute, while another focuses on empathy. These differences are crucial when determining how to approach a conversation – when in a debate, the logic attribute is strong against empathy, but proves weak against intuition. So, pay attention to the approach your opponent takes.

How to get Tears of Themis cards?

Getting new cards is relatively simple, as they mainly arrive as part of in-game events. For example, three new cards are incoming as part of the Tears of Themis Summer Breeze event, which is running from August 5 until August 26.

Of course, there are also in-game purchases available, which allow you to buy upgrade materials for your cards.

What are the available cards in Tears of Themis?

Each character has many cards available, all of which boast different stats, skills, and benefits. Additionally, there are three rarities of cards – SSR, SR, and R. Naturally, SSRs are the most effective and offer greater benefits, including three skills, all of which can turn the tide of any situation you find yourself in.
