## 1. Description

Shadow Army Cards are special Digital Collectible based on protagonist Sung Jin-Woo’s shadow army from the original webtoon “Solo Leveling”.

Shadow Army Cards, representing the protagonist’s most powerful allies from the original webtoon, are one of the best rewards available in SL:U.

Users who own Shadow Army Cards receive Essence Stones every week :

The amount is calculated **by dividing the total Essence Stones consumed in SL:U by the total number of Shadow Army Card holders**.

Shadow Army Cards are ranked from **SB to SA to SS-Grade**, **with higher grades providing greater Collection Score bonuses.**

## 2. Acquisition Method

Users can attempt to upgrade an S-Rank Monster Card into a SB-Rank Shadow Army Card by consuming Essence Stones, with success determined by probability rates.

#### Shadow Army Card Upgrade Path:

1. S-Rank Monster Card → SB-Rank Shadow Army Card (upon successful upgrade)
2. SB-Rank Shadow Army Card → SA-Rank Shadow Army Card (upon successful upgrade)
3. SA-Rank Shadow Army Card → **SS-Rank Shadow Army Card (upon successful upgrade)**

## 3. Reward

Shadow Army Cards are special items that not only certify their holders as dedicated fans of the original series but also recognize their contributions to the SL:U ecosystem.

Weekly rewards are distributed Shadow Army card holders **in proportion to their cards’ rank and quantity.**

The rewards, primarily distributed in **Essence Stones(SL:U’s in-game currency)**, increase based on community activity and platform usage grow.

Additionally, various special rewards and event benefits will be offered through periodic promotions.
