The Beauty and Importance of Card Merging - Better Fuel Generation

Hello MoonKarts racers and card collectors — welcome aboard! If you’ve been curious about how card rarities and merging work in MoonKarts (and why they matter), you’re in the right place. Let me walk you through it like someone who’s been in the trenches—no fluff, just the good stuff.

Four Tiers of Rarity

Every card in MoonKarts comes in one of four rarities: Common, Rare, Epic, and Legendary. You can see your full card collection in the “My Cards” section of the game.

• Common cards are your bread and butter—easiest to get, modest stats, foundational for building.
• Rare cards are harder to drop and bring better attributes, possibly special abilities on top of that.
• Epic cards raise the stakes: stronger effects, more meaningful impact in races.
• Legendary cards sit at the top. They’re scarce, extremely powerful, and game-shifting when used well.

There’s one extra twist: Gold Foil cards. These are special versions of any rarity, rarer to obtain, and they bring bonus effects (for example, fewer copies needed to level up, plus stacked in-race reward boosts). When you open a pack, any card might become a Gold Foil version.

Merging — Level Up Wisely

Rarity is just one dimension. To really make cards shine, you merge duplicates (same rarity, same base card) to level them up. The higher the level, the stronger the stats, potentially unlocking extra abilities.

This mechanic applies across all rarities—even Legendary cards or their Gold Foil editions can be merged.

Why merge?

• Boosted performance in races

• Unlocking new traits or effects beyond the base version

• Better rewards: stronger cards tend to yield better race earnings and advantages

Final Thoughts

Rarity gives you a hierarchy of card strength and prestige, while merging adds depth and progression over time. If you just hoard rare and legendary cards but leave them at level 1, you're leaving value on the table. The magic happens when you blend quantity and quality: get duplicates, merge up, and strategize which cards to push higher.
