Fire Emblem Cipher TCG rules have been added in English and French. If you're curious to find out more about this TCG, what it has to offer in terms of game mechanics or quickly find information using its integrated search function, this guide is for you.

The rules explanations are intended to be as comprehensive as possible, and are aimed at both new players who have never played a card game and more experienced TCG players.

If you have any comments or suggestions, please let us know. We'd also be happy if you'd like to translate this guide into other languages to reach even more players.

Changes have been made to the Card Creator in order to avoid possible legal issues related to its use, which could lead to the closure of Compendium in an extreme case.

As a result, the Browse page is no longer accessible. Community-created cards can no longer be viewed on a single page, although they can still be viewed from user profiles.

The “Private” privacy mode has been added, so that only you can view your custom cards. The Compendium team reserves the right to change the privacy mode of your custom cards from “Public” to “Private”.

Further changes may be observed in the coming weeks.

• [Collection] Manage your card collection from Card List (Table & Images view) and Series (Table view).

We've been working on this project for many months now, and we're proud to introduce the Card Creator.

• Make and customize every aspect of your card like a real Cipher card.
• Save, manage and edit your custom cards from your profile.
• Explore cards created by the community from the Browse page.

Design the cards you want, whether entirely new cards or adaptations of the official cards in your own language. However, moderation will be taken if the cards do not respect the rules of appropriate conduct.

This application is currently in beta, but it is possible to recreate around 95% of existing cards. Expect additional features in the future, but if you have suggestions or if you encounter any bugs, please let us know on our Discord.

An “Advanced Search” page has been added to fine-tune your card searches. New options include a second search mode for Emblems and Affinities, a search by Keyword Skill, a search by Support Skill type and the addition of operators for Deployment Cost, Class Change Cost, Attack and Support.

Card List page has been modified: the “Stats Range” dropdown has been removed, and the view selection is now made using a select button.

Import your entire card collection or your latest purchases in a flash from a spreadsheet file. You can even choose the import mode: overwrite existing entries or merge quantities. Nonetheless, your spreadsheet file must respect specific formatting rules, but sample files are provided to help you.

Only the two Comiket 97 boxes are missing. They'll be added later when I get my hands on them.

I've created a Discord server to centralize discussions about Cipher Compendium and, of course, to talk about Fire Emblem Cipher, whether you're a collector or a player. It will be easier for you to give feedback, make suggestions, stay informed about future updates and help me fill in missing data.

Other card translations can be easily added if you feel up to it, so please let me know if you'd like to add your language.
