Japanese [[Collectible Card Game|TCG]] primarily targeted towards the otaku market. Featuring various characters from all manner of anime and video games, the game essentially runs on [[Super Robot Wars]] logic, allowing players to pit their favourite characters and series in the [[Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny]] against each other. It was made by Bushiroad, the same company who made [[Tantei Opera Milky Holmes|cute detectives]] and [[Cardfight Vanguard (Anime)|dat new card game]].
 
''[[Weiss Schwarz]]'' consists of two sides, [[Moe Moe|Weiss]] and [[Rule of Cool|Schwarz]]. The general concept of the game is that Weiss and Schwarz are in constant conflict and recruit different series to help them fight against the opposing side. Their story goes that their battles are conducted on a Stage, and their respective series utilise the characters within the series to vie for the audience's attention. The amount of attention a certain Character gets depends on their Power, which they use to battle with each other. The Character who loses this battle gets sent to the Waiting Room, waiting their turn to return to the Stage once again.
 
The series available in each side:

The types of cards in ''Weiss Schwarz'' goes as follows:
* '''Character''': A Character is [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin]]. It is a character from a series that a side has recruited that is used to battle against other Characters and deal your opponent damage, much like [[Yu-Gi-Oh!|Monsters]] and [[Cardfight Vanguard (Anime)|Units]]. Characters may have an ability, which is categorised into:
** ''Continuous'': An ability that is constantly activated as long as the Character remains on Stage.
** ''Startup'': An ability that can only be activated by the player during the Main Phase.
** ''Auto'': An ability that activates whenever certain conditions are fulfilled
* '''Event''': [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin]]. A special event that occurs that gives to give one side an edge.
* '''Climax''': [[Running Gag|Exactly What It Says On The Tin]]. A climax is the climax of a Character's performance, which generally uses significant moments from the source material. It boosts a Character's stats, as well as being the activating trigger for certain special abilities with the right Character.
 
The various areas in ''Weiss Schwarz'' is as follows:
* '''Deck''': Must contain exactly 50 cards, consisting of a maximum of 8 climax cards, with a limit of 4 of any card of the same name.
* '''Waiting Room''': The equilivant of a [[Yu-Gi-Oh!|Graveyard]] and a [[Cardfight Vanguard (Anime)|Drop Zone]]. Where all Characters go after their performance and await to be called onto Stage again. Cards in this zone replace the Deck when the Deck runs out of cards, through an action known as Refresh, which results in one uncancellable damage dealt to Clock.
* '''Stage''': Where the various Characters fight it out through their [[Power Levels|Power]]. Whoever wins the battle gets to remain on Stage. If the Characters battling have the same Power, both Characters get sent off Stage. A maximum of 5 Characters can be on Stage at any point in time, with 2 acting as supports.
* '''Stock''': Mostly acts as a method of payment to summon Characters or activate Events.
* '''Clock''' and '''Level''': The equilivant of [[Yu-Gi-Oh!|Life Points]] and a [[Cardfight Vanguard (Anime)|Damage Zone]]. Dictates the amount of time has left to fight it out. Clock increases based on Soul damage by Characters, which is dealt regardless of the Character's Power. Damage to Clock can only be negated when a Climax card is revealed, cancelling the damage taken, making Climax cards the most important card in the game. When the Clock reaches 7, it leads to a Level up. Pushing the opponent to Level 4 is the goal of the game.
* '''Memory''': The equivalent of [[Yu-Gi-Oh!|removed from play]] or [[Magic: theThe Gathering|Exile]]. Cards in Memory are literally forgotten by the audience and cannot be used again. However there are some cards that can manipulate this field.
 
A turn in ''Weiss Schwarz'' consists of several phases, in the following order:
Line 76 ⟶ 75:
* '''End Phase''' The end of the active player's turn. If a Climax Card is in play, it is sent to the Waiting Room. If either player has more than seven cards in hand, they must discard cards until their hand size is no greater than seven. All active effects for the current turn lose their effect at this point.
 
A more detailed explanation of the rules can be found [http://weissschwarz.wikia.com/wiki/Gameplay here]. Translations for the various cards can be found there, or at [https://web.archive.org/web/20120104185250/http://ws.nk-ds.org/index.php/card-translations/ WS@NK-DS], [https://web.archive.org/web/20131103084937/http://littleakiba.com/tcg/weiss-schwarz/ littleAKIBA], [http://www.heartofthecards.com/code/cardlist.html?pagetype=ws Heart of the Cards]. Now also has a PSP game.
 
Please only put examples regarding the general tropes revolving around ''Weiss Schwarz'', and not regarding specific cards if possible. There are too many cards for that.
 
Not to be confused with [[RWBY|Weiss Schnee]].

{{tropelist}}
== General tropes ==
* [[Awesome but Impractical]]: An example is SYW08-057 or Haruhi in the beach only gets to 10000 power if you have unique traits in your field. Since a Character has 2 traits, having a full field of completely different Characters will result in a level 2 cost 2 Character with 10000 power on its own without sacrificing anything or having a negative ability.
Line 88 ⟶ 87:
* [[Blind Idiot Translation]]: Most of the card names in the first few sites. Heart of the Cards attempts to subvert this, but sometimes it still comes off as this.
* [[CCG Importance Dissonance]]
* [[Colour Color-Coded for Your Convenience]]: Generally, each colour has certain abilities that are only present in that colour and all colours have certain themes. Yellow revolves around sending opponents to hand or Stock and own turn buffs, with many a search through Deck. Green revolves a lot around power, exchanging cards with Clock and maintaining or adding Stock. Red contains pick up abilities that allow retrieval of cards from Waiting Room and a lot of unique effects that are red exclusive. Blue has draw engines, heal spam mechanics, and normally buffs on opponent's turn.
* [[Double Entendre]]: Climax card and Climax Area.
* [[Expansion Pack]]: Some of the series only come in EPs, while some Boosters have these to increase the card count in a series.
* [[Fridge Logic]]: How can [[Moe Moe|cute girls]] have [[Power Levels|power levels]] that surpass that of [[Rated Mfor"M" for Manly|veteran fighters and mages]]?
* [[Gondor Calls for Aid]]: Essentially what Counters do. The Character under attack calls for another Character's support and they add Power to the Character.
* [[Gratuitous German]]: The title, which means "White Black".
Line 99 ⟶ 98:
* [[Power Levels]]: Though ''[[Power Levels]]'' is used here, Soul determines the damage.
** Meta seems to be going in this direction lately, with new series coming up with more ways to buff the Power of a Character.
* [[Serious Business]]: A [[Kana Hanazawa|signed]] holo Tenshi (a.k.a. Kanade Tachibana) costs [https://web.archive.org/web/20130607103825/http://orenoturn.com/737_17578.html 12,000 yen].
** Professional players tend to count the number of climaxes that appear during their matches (both their own and their opponent's) so as to know when is a good time to push for damage.
* [[Shout -Out]]: Its an anime card game after all. Many characters from other series end up in a card, with their respective quotes from the series.
* [[The Anime of the Game]]: ''[[Weiss Survive]]'', though due to copyright issues, only original cards are shown, which severely diminishes its draw. The plot is also non-existant.
* [[The Cameo]]: Michi, Takeshi and Shizuru from the above anime are also included as promotional rare cards.
* [[The Wiki Rule]]: [http://weissschwarz.wikia.com/ The Weiss Schwarz wikia], which still needs a lot of work done on it.
* [[Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny]]: [[Fate/stay Stay Nightnight|Saber]] vs [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha|Nanoha]] vs [[Suzumiya Haruhi|Har]][[Reality Warper|uhi]] vs [[Shakugan no Shana|Sha]][[Tsundere|na]] vs [[Bakemonogatari (Light Novel)|Hit]][[Deadpan Snarker|agi]] vs [[Angel Beats (Anime)!|Ten]][[White -Haired Pretty Girl|shi]] vs Kyrie vs [[Lucky Star|Kon]][[Otaku|ata]] vs [[Persona 3|Protag]][[Persona 4|onist]]...
 
 
== Weiss Schwarz Portable ==
Line 113 ⟶ 111:
* [[Childhood Friends]]: Suzuka. Going on her route results in a [[Childhood Friend Romance]].
* [[Class Representative]]: Suiko
* [[Hot Chick Withwith a Sword]]: Minami
* [[Cash Cow Franchise]]: Essentially the whole point of the development of the game. Though, it has a surprisingly deep plot.
* {{spoiler|[[Twin Switch]]: In Suzuka's route, the player finds out near the end that the Suzuka the player has been interacting with is actually her twin sister, Honoka. When the real Suzuka returns, she's not exactly pleased to realise that her twin sister got a [[Relationship Upgrade]] with her old childhood friend}}
