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|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:

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]]
* [[ColourColor-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.
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.
Line 105 ⟶ 104:
* [[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 night|Saber]] vs [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha|Nanoha]] vs [[Suzumiya Haruhi|Har]][[Reality Warper|uhi]] vs [[Shakugan no Shana|Sha]][[Tsundere|na]] vs [[Bakemonogatari|Hit]][[Deadpan Snarker|agi]] vs [[Angel Beats!|Ten]][[White-Haired Pretty Girl|shi]] vs Kyrie vs [[Lucky Star|Kon]][[Otaku|ata]] vs [[Persona 3|Protag]][[Persona 4|onist]]...
