Cards are a type of compo items in Stick Ranger. They are considered to be rather advanced because they have unique effects which are generally very useful and are dropped by bosses with one exception. It should be noted that not all bosses drop cards, and the drop rate of cards are rather low. Below is a list of the different kinds of cards and their effects. Currently, out of 19 cards, there are:
- 17 Level 1 cards
- 14 Level 2 cards
- 14 Level 3 cards
- 15 Level 4 cards
- 10 Level 5 cards
- 8 Level 6 cards
- 8 Level 7 cards

| Level 7 | -60% Limit AGI | White Boss Skull Stickman (Hell Gate) | - | 3500 |
Composition restriction: no restrictions
Effect explanation: Reduces both min and max AGI by 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50% or 60%. This can reduce the AGI below the classes' AGI limit. The LV7 card usually gives a weapon 2.5× DPS.
Note: The LV6 version of this card does not exist. AGI values are rounded up to the nearest integer. This card was white before ver11.4.

| Level 7 | +25 Length of sword | Yellow Boss Coconut Walker (Inferno 2) | - | 3500 |
Composition restriction: Swords
Comparison of sword length and range (shown in blue digits).
Effect explanation: Increases length of sword and attack range. It doesn't affect the length of the elemental attack.
Note: If the player were to add a Long Sword's Card 3 or higher to a Wooden Sword 5, then the the sword will be the length of two swords or even more. It is also applicable with Katana's Card.
Catapult's Card
| Level | Effect | Dropped by | Cost for buying |
Profit for selling |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | +20 Length | Orange Boss Skull Dragon (Grassland 3) | 4000 | 500 |
| Level 2 | +40 Length | White Boss Smiley Walker (Cavern 1) | 8000 | 1000 |
| Level 3 | +60 Length | Blue Boss Roundhead Eel (Submarine 3) | 12000 | 1500 |
| Level 4 | +80 Length | Orange Boss Diamond Spider (Desert 4) | 16000 | 2000 |
| Level 5 | +100 Length | White Boss Castle Stickman (Snowfield 2) | 20000 | 2500 |
| Level 6 | +120 Length | Grey Boss Box Stickman (Hell 5) | - | 3000 |
| Level 7 | +150 Length | Green Boss Coconut Spider (Inferno 3) | - | 3500 |
Composition restriction: Bows, Orbs, Staves, Guns or Rings
Effect explanation: Increases the Range of the weapon
Note: This is a good card for the Triple Shot lineup, the Rifles, and the Long Staves, as the weapon will then achieve a huge range and potentially the entire screen at 512. It is also good for weapons with low range needing high range, like Electric Shock 5. This card was grey before ver11.4.
Pierce's Card
| Level | Effect | Dropped by | Cost for buying |
Profit for selling |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | 25% chance of penetrate | Blue Boss Fairy Snake (Grassland 4) | 4000 | 500 |
| Level 2 | 50% chance of penetrate | White Boss Skull Bat (Cavern 2) | 8000 | 1000 |
| Level 3 | 75% chance of penetrate | Tan Boss Roundhead Eel (Submarine 1) | 12000 | 1500 |
| Level 4 | 100% chance of penetrate | Red Boss Box Tree (Desert 8) | 16000 | 2000 |
Composition restriction: Bows, Orbs and Guns
Effect explanation: Allows the projectiles to pass through the terrain 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% of the time.
Note: Made more useful in ver2.6, with the implementation of Hill Country 1, involving mid-air platforms. It is also useful in Cavern stages. Especially effective when combined with Triple Shot or Quint Shot because of their long range. Applies to all projectiles in the same shot (eg. for a Quad Arrow, either all four bullets gain penetration or all four don't). Combining Pierce's Card with weapons that have bonus attacks activated by touching the terrain (e.g. Volcano, Fire), is counterproductive, because the primary attacks will drop through the ground and the bonus attacks do not appear. The same can be observed for the explosion of the Bazooka, but this is not a big problem, as usually the shot hits the enemy and not the ground. This card was white before ver11.4.
Guide's Card
| Level | Effect | Dropped by | Cost for buying |
Profit for selling |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | +10 guide length | Red Boss Smiley Tree (Grassland 5) | 4000 | 500 |
| Level 2 | +20 guide length | Orange Boss Skull Stickman (Cavern 3) | 8000 | 1000 |
| Level 3 | +30 guide length | Pink Boss Gel Spider (???) | 12000 | 1500 |
| Level 4 | +40 guide length | White Boss Vampire Fish (Beach 1) | 16000 | 2000 |
| Level 5 | +50 guide length | Red Boss Shield Zombie (Cavern 5) | 20000 | 2500 |
| Level 6 | +60 guide length | Orange Boss Roundhead Walker (Hell 3) | - | 3000 |
| Level 7 | +70 guide length | Yellow Box Germ (Cavern 8) | - | 3500 |
Composition restriction: Bows, Orbs and Guns
Effect explanation: Allows projectiles to home towards an enemy within the guide length. "Guide length" refers to the distance between the center of the projectile and its target.
Note: Unfortunately, most projectiles are close to be as big or even bigger than this, so they'll hit before the homing ability will apply. Because of this, for most weapons, the effect is too small to be really useful. For the Volcano and the Bazooka, the guiding applies only for the projectile, and not the fire or the clouds of the explosion.
It's highly recommended just to use this card on piercing weapons like Fire or Laser Gun since this will create an interesting effect. For the Fire Orb and Delta Explosion, the projectile(s) will fly around the enemy, making it useful for flying enemies, but makes it less effective for Trees. For Laser Gun, the projectile pierces through the target and will home in on subsequent enemies.
It's also recommended to use this card with slow projectiles rather than fast projectiles, because the guide effect constantly affects projectiles within the guide length over time. The longer a projectile stays in the guide range, the more it is affected. Therefore, the card has very little effect on most fast projectiles, such as Thunder Storm. On the other hand, however, Thunder Spear is a fast projectile that is surprisingly effective with this card. This is mostly due to the fact that the projectiles, when stuck to the ground, will "Slide" towards enemies in the homing radius.
The Atomic Ray is very useful when combined with this card, as it is able to pierce enemies and even bounce off the ground while doing large amounts of damage to groups of enemies or even single enemies.
This card was white before ver11.4.

Composition restriction: Weapons which fire more than one projectile upon attack. (For full list, see table below).
Effect explanation: Increases the number of projectiles to the primary/secondary attack.
Note: This card was white before ver11.4. The table below lists all the compatible weapons, as well as the corresponding percentage increase in damage from equipping the different levels of this card. For whips, the Whipper is assumed to have zero DEX. If the Whipper has DEX, then the additional bullets from DEX are added before they are added or multiplied with the bonus from the Bullet's Card.

| Level 4 | 100% chance of Explosion damage | Orange Boss Diamond Snake (Desert 7) | 16000 | 2000 |
Composition restriction: Gloves, Bows, Guns or Rings
Effect explanation: Splash damage is dealt to surrounding enemies. The splash range is the same as the hitbox of the attack.
Note: The splash range of this "explosion" can vary greatly between weapons.

| Level 6 | 20% chance of AT +600% | Blue Boss Gel Mushroom (Hell 6) | - | 3000 |
| Level 7 | 15% chance of AT +900% | Brown Boss Box Germ (Blood Lake) | - | 3500 |
Composition restriction: Gloves, Bows, Swords, Guns, Whips or Rings
Effect explanation: Has a chance to increase the base AT of the weapon by listed damage multiplier.
Note: Like the Pierce's Card, either everything increases damage, or nothing increases damage. This card does not affect elemental attacks. Critical's Card is stronger on average, but less reliable than Yellow Crystal, with the level 7 variant giving 2.35× DPS on average. This card was white before ver11.4. For Angels, the Critical's Card effect can be triggered (n+1) times on the nth extra ring thrown by Angels with more than 1 ring. For example, with a Critical's Card 7, a hit from the 2nd ring will have 72.25% chance (0.85×0.85) of dealing normal damage, 25.5% chance (2×0.85×0.15) of dealing 10× damage and 2.25% chance (0.15×0.15) of dealing 100× damage. This was first considered a bug which was fixed in ver9.6, but the bug reappeared in the HTML5 version since ver15.9, and was later confirmed to be kept as a feature by ha55ii.

| Level 7 | AT +350% DF -200% | Brown Boss Box Germ (Blood Lake) | - | 3500 |
Composition restriction: Gloves, Swords or Whips
Effect explanation: Increases damage dealt to enemies by this character, but also increases damage received by this character from enemy attacks.
Note: This card was added much later than the other types of cards; it was added in ver4.9. It stacks with the Priest's Attack Aura, but doesn't affect the Priest's Defense Aura, and creates a red aura around the equipped character even when not in presence of a Priest with an Attack Aura, if any. It will increase damage received by equipped character, even if the character has 0 defense.

| Level 5 | 300% Attack range | White Boss Vampire Tree (Snowfield 5) | 20000 | 2500 |
Composition restriction: Gloves, Whips
Effect explanation: Increases the hitbox of the gloves or the tip of the whip. It also enlarges the size of the glove or the head of the whip from 3x3 to 5x5 regardless of the card level.
Knockback's Card
| Level | Effect | Dropped by | Cost for buying |
Profit for selling |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | 25% chance of Knockback 20 | Orange Boss Skull Bat (Hill Country 2) | 4000 | 500 |
| Level 2 | 50% chance of Knockback 20 | Grey Boss Roundhead Snake (Seaside 2) | 8000 | 1000 |
| Level 3 | 50% chance of Knockback 30 | Pink Boss Gel Spider (???) | 12000 | 1500 |
| Level 4 | 100% chance of Knockback 30 | Red Boss Box Tree (Desert 8) | 16000 | 2000 |
| Level 5 | 30% chance of Knockback 90 | Orange Boss Castle Stickman (Snowfield 6) | 20000 | 2500 |
Composition restriction: Gloves, Bows, Orbs, Guns, Whips
Effect explanation: Has a chance to make all projectiles in a character's shot knock an enemy away on impact. The strength of the knockback depends on card level.
Note: Larger enemies are less affected by the knockback effect and immobile enemies only shake in position when the effect is executed on them. Evidently, this card has actually existed for quite some time, but was not implemented until much later, in ver12.1. Doing the math indicates that the level 4 version is just slightly better on average than the level 5 version at delivering Knockback; "90/100=0.9*30=27", "30/100=0.3*100=30". The level 5 version may still be desired for certain weapons because it delivers more Knockback in a single activation, however. If the attack has a freeze effect, knockback is applies after the freeze wears off. Even if the attack does splash damage, only the 'primary target' will be knocked back.

| Level 1 | 25% chance of Reflection | White Boss Smiley Fish (Lake) | 4000 | 500 |
| Level 2 | 50% chance of Reflection | Tan Boss Star Stickman (Seaside 4) | 8000 | 1000 |
| Level 3 | 75% chance of Reflection | Yellow Boss Vampire Eel (Beach 3) | 12000 | 1500 |
| Level 4 | 100% chance of Reflection | Yellow Boss Gel Tree (Snowfield 8) | 16000 | 2000 |
Composition restriction: Bows, Orbs, Guns, Whips or Rings
Effect explanation: Allows the projectiles to bounce off terrain.
Note: This card is implemented in 12.8. It has a chance to allow all projectiles in a single attack to bounce off terrain. It has no effect if the projectiles penetrate through terrain. Reflection Card 4 will effectively allow projectiles from some weapons, such as Quad Steel Arrow, to travel from one end of the screen to the other end. The Whipper can use Reflection's Card, but not Pierce's Card.
Katana's Card
| Level | Effect | Dropped by | Cost for buying |
Profit for selling |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Level 6 | AT +40%, +10 sword length | Green Boss Gel Bouncer (Forest 4) | - | 3000 |
| Level 7 | AT +50%, +10 sword length | Yellow Boss Coconut Walker (Inferno 2) | - | 3500 |
Composition restriction: Swords
Effect explanation: Increases both the base AT and the length of the sword,
Note: Is essentially a combination (as well as a level sum) of the Long Sword's Card 3 and Yellow Crystal 3/4 into a single compo item. Equipping this with a Long Sword's Card will increase the sword length by the sum of increments from both cards.
Heal's Card

| Level 2 | Heal to attack each +2 | Grey Boss Triangle Walker (Hell 1) | - | 6000 |
Composition restriction: no restrictions
Effect explanation: This card heals the character by the specified LP at each attack. For the Angel, each hit by the rings heals the Angel. For the Priest, all other characters will be healed instead.
Ring's Card

| Level 3 | Ring +1, LP +100 | Red Boss Gel Tree (Submarine 2) | 12000 | 1500 |
| Level 4 | Ring +1, LP +150 | White Boss Vampire Fish (Beach 1) | 16000 | 2000 |
| Level 5 | Ring +1, LP +200 | White Boss Castle Dragon (Snowfield 3) | 20000 | 2500 |
| Level 6 | Ring +1, LP +300 | Yellow Boss Coconut Wheel (Forest 3) | - | 3000 |
Composition restriction: Rings
Effect explanation: Gives an extra ring to the Angel, which also allows the Angel to surpass the original maximum Ring limit of 5 from DEX investments. At LV2 or higher it also gives an LP boost. This card can be considered a fusion of the Angel's DEX (or a Green Stone) and a White Stone.
Vampire's Card
| Level | Effect | Dropped by | Cost for buying |
Profit for selling |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | 3% LP recovery per damage | Castle Boss (Castle) | 4000 | 500 |
| Level 3 | 4% LP recovery per damage | Submarine Shrine Boss (Submarine Shrine) | - | 1000 |
| Level 4 | 5% LP recovery per damage | Pyramid Boss (Pyramid) | - | 1500 |
Composition restriction: Gloves, Swords or Whips
Effect explanation: Every time the character swings his weapon and hit enemies, the character regains an amount of LP equal to 3%, 4% or 5% of the total direct damage dealt in that blow, rounded down. This value cannot go below 1. Magical attacks do not trigger LP recovery.
Note: The healing effect stacks with the Critical's Card. The most effective weapons to use with this compo item are weapons which create a lot of separate hits. These can either be weapons with a very high attack speed (for instance the Mach Punch or Sonic Punch) or weapons that deal a lot of damage to a fairly large area, such as swords. When attacking large clusters of enemies with this compo item attached to a sword, maximum LP recovery may happen. Combining Sonic Knuckle, or any sword, Vampire's Card 4 and Quick's Card 4 will, in big clusters, result in rapid LP recovery (depending on the setup used, it may be that ONIGIRI's Card is superior to this). This card does not have a level 2. Interestingly, the level 3 version of this card sells for the same amount as a level 2 card and the level 4 card sells for as much as a level 3 card. As of ver14.4, it has undergone a nerf where it would heal at a lesser percentage (formerly 3%, 5%, and 8% for levels 1, 3, and 4 respectively). The description also changed from "per hit" to "per damage" in ver14.4, possibly to avoid misinterpretation although this has not changed the card other than the ratio.
ONIGIRI's Card
| Level | Effect | Dropped by | Cost for buying |
Profit for selling |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | 5% chance of ONIGIRI drop per hit | Castle Boss (Castle) | - | 1000 |
Composition restriction: Gloves, Swords or Whips
Effect explanation: Every time the character hits an enemy, there is a 5% chance an onigiri drops. Magical attacks do not trigger the onigiri drop.
Note: This is a rare card, but it can provide a lot of onigiris for the whole team. Sells for twice the price (1000$) of other level 1 cards except the Gold Rush Card. The most effective weapons to use with this compo item are weapons which create a lot of separate hits. This can either be weapons with a very high attack speed (for instance the Mach Punch or Sonic Punch) or weapons that deal a lot of damage to a fairly large area, such as swords. When attacking large clusters of enemies with this compo item attached to a sword, whip, or glove, a huge number of onigiri may drop. This card does not work in VS, and defeating an enemy character will not trigger the onigiri drop at all. Depending on the setup, the Vampire's Card may be a better choice. The Silver Medal is a potential alternative to the ONIGIRI's Card, particularly if a party has no Gladiators, Boxers, or Whippers.
Gold rush Card
| Level | Effect | Dropped by | Cost for buying |
Profit for selling |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | 5% chance of GOLD drop per hit | Submarine Shrine Boss (Submarine Shrine) | - | 2000 |
Composition restriction: Gloves, Swords or Whips
Effect explanation: Every time the player hits an enemy, there is a 5% chance that Gold drops. Magical attacks do not trigger the gold drop.
Note: The amount of money correlates with the damage done to the enemies. In addition, hitting several enemies results in higher money values, making this card especially compatible with weapons which deals splash damage as primary attacks, such as whips and the Sonic Cestus. The amount of money is also influenced by the Gold Medals, which can result in even higher gold drop amounts.
Zombie's Card
| Level | Effect | Dropped by | Cost for buying |
Profit for selling |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Level 4 | +50% LP, -100% fire damage | Pyramid Boss (Pyramid) | - | 3000 |
Composition restriction: no restrictions
Effect explanation: This card multiplies the character's LP by 1.5x, but that character will receive twice the damage from fire attacks. Note that the LP increments from White Stones can be multiplied with this card but not the LP increments from the Ring's Card. It also turns the character into a zombie (purple body with a white box head) and surrounds it in more shade than a regular stickman (more noticeable when underwater).
Note: This is also the first card to go straight to Level 4 without having levels 1, 2 or 3 before it. It cannot be bought in the Village due to its LV. This card was misnamed "Zombi's Card" when it was implemented in V8.2, and was fixed in V8.3.
History[]
- Before ver11.4 all cards used a similar appearance: A Stickman with different colors on the card.
Trivia[]
- There exists, or at least had existed, multiple unused cards in the game's. Two of them have been removed from the source code prior to updates, however. You can view these cards' descriptions in this video.
- The first, and most prominent example is a card called Rubber's Card 1 that is hidden in the source code and only accessible through hacking. The card's description shows "+10 Extend arm". However, according to the source code, the effect is actually LP +30% and changes the colour of character to that of the Zombie's Card.
- Another series of cards that once existed was called the "Devil's Card" and the "Satan's Card". The Devil's Card's description had the effect "5% chance of 1/4 damage", implying it would, by chance, deal 1/4th of the enemy's LP with a single attack. The Satan's Card's description, meanwhile, read "1% chance of Instant death". They could not be equipped to any character, and were eventually removed from the source code.
- Interestingly, the Knockback's Card existed in the source code far, far, far before the update that included them (See the video above; it was made in 2009, while the update that added them wasn't introduced until 2012). The text was different, reading "10% chance of Knockback", instead of having specifics to how strong the knockback was.
