As of Series 11, the game has adapted characters from every game in the main ''Fire Emblem'' series, as well as the spinoffs {{TMSFE}}, {{FEH}}, and {{FEW}}. The vast majority of cards depict actual characters from the games, but since the second series, ''Cipher'' has introduced seven mascot characters for the card game itself - [[Emma]], [[Shade (character)|Shade]], [[Yuzu]], [[Randal]], [[Alice]],  [[Valjean]], and [[Niamh]] - who regularly feature in both promotional material for the game and in cards of their own.

==Series==
==Series==
''Cipher'' releases a new series of cards every three months, with each series typically focused on two ''Fire Emblem'' games. Like most trading card games, each series features two major releases: a '''starter deck''' which contains a pre-determined set of 50 cards which typically focus on one ''Fire Emblem'' game or faction, and '''booster packs''' which contain 10 random cards each. Booster packs can also be bought in bulk as '''booster boxes''', which contain 16 packs each; in addition to the 160 random cards from the enclosed packs, booster boxes also contain one promotional card previewing the next series and a set of card sleeves decorated with ''Fire Emblem'' art.

In addition to the regular starter deck and booster pack cards, some cards are distributed as '''promotional cards''' which are only available with certain purchases or by attending certain events. Some promotional cards are entirely unique, while others are reprints of pre-existing cards that feature new art. Typically there are between ten and twenty promotional cards accompanying each series, two of which are always the preview cards enclosed in booster boxes.
