Neutral cards are available to all characters. These cards are generally not gained from normal card reward screens--adventurers must instead acquire them through a combination of merchant shops, events, relic effects, and card effects.

All colorless cards provide a beneficial effect ranging from mildly to extremely powerful.

Like colored cards, colorless cards come in three rarities: common, uncommon, and rare. Unlike character-specific cards, only uncommon and rare colorless cards are sold by the merchant. Every merchant shop offers two colorless cards. Some colorless cards cannot be bought from the Merchant, and are obtained in other ways (Apparitions, Bites, J.A.X., Ritual Dagger, Shivs, All Status cards, and All Curse cards)

Obtaining the Prismatic Shard relic allows colorless cards to appear in normal card reward screens.
