User:Anon e Mouse Jr./Sandbox/Advent Cards

Advent Cards (アドベントカード) are the cards used by the 13 Riders and the Alternatives in Kamen Rider Ryuki and Kamen Rider Dragon Knight. By scanning them through a Visor, the user can activate summons, weapons and special abilities. When not in use, the cards are stored in Advent Decks.

Even if scanned by another Rider, a summoned weapon will automatically go to its original user, if they are present. This is shown in episode 26 when Shinji scans Kitaoka's cards for him, and Zolda's weapons go to Kitaoka instead of him.

Card types

 * Seal (シール) - used by a Rider to seal away a Mirror Monster.
 * Contract (コントラクト) - used by a Rider in Blank Form to make a contract with a Mirror Monster, making it into their Contract Monster and changing their suit into a form based on that monster. Upon contracting with a monster, the Contract card becomes that monster's respective Advent card.
 * Advent (アドベント) - the primary card held by each of the Riders, which is used to summon their respective Contract Monster. It is renamed as "Attack Vent" in Dragon Knight.
 * Sword Vent (ソードベント) - allows the Rider to summon a sword-like weapon, which generally resembles certain body parts of their Contract Monsters. The only exceptions are those used by Ryuki and Knight in their Survive forms.
 * Strike Vent (ストライクベント) - allows the Rider to summon a gauntlet-like weapon which generally resembles certain body parts of their Contract Monsters, and can even launch projectiles.
 * Guard Vent (ガードベント) - allows the Rider to summon a shield-like weapon which generally resembles certain body parts of their Contract Monsters.
