WIXOSS is a strategy trading card game in which players take control and battle against each other with fighters known as LRIGs (ルリグ, Rurigu, "girl" spelled backwards) separated into three linear lanes, using main deck SIGNI to support them.
After the draw phase, a player may discard one SIGNI or spell of choice from their the hand or field to the Ener Zone.
If luck strikes, a Life Cloth card lost activates a Life Burst ✱ effect from the SIGNI revealed, which will allow the revealing player to cast a spell-like effect on the field before leaving to the "Ener Zone", unless willingly ignored and discarded the card.
