Few could have predicted just how much of an impact the Attack on Titan sets would have on UniVersus. Yet the introduction of the popular manga/anime franchise has made some massive changes to the long running trading card game (or TCG). We’ve even covered the main ways that Attack on Titan has changed UniVersus in another feature! Given how seismic that Attack on Titan sets have been, it’s no surprise to see more UniVersus publisher have continued to release more, and we’re now on the third set: Apocalypse. with Attack on Titan: Apocalypse now available, which cards from the set are fans most keen to get their hands on? Let’s take a look!

10. Resurrected Titans (Alternate Art) – Ultra Rare, 222/189

Though we know that Chrome Rares will be the most highly sought after cards in any UnIVersus set (given that only 100 of each Chrome Rare card exist in the world), for most players they’re pretty unattainable. Not just finding them in boosters, but also buying them when they pop up on the secondary market, on sites such as TCGplayer; naturally, given their incredible scarcity, then can sell for hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars. So yes, the Attack on Titan: Apocalypse Chrome Rare cards are the most expensive, but they come up for sale so infrequently that we are instead focusing on the most wanted non-Chrome Rare cards.

With that in mind, here’s number 10 in our list of the most wanted Attack on Titan: Apocalypse cards. This alternate art variant of Resurrected Titans is a great showcase for the beautiful, black and white art that looks as if it’s ripped straight from the pages of the Attack on Titan manga!

9. The Nine Titans From Throughout the Ages (Alternate Art) – Ultra Rare, 226/189

Another alternate art card featuring a black and white, manga-style illustration, this has quite the mouthful of a card name: The Nine Titans from Throughout the Ages. Being an alternate art card, it’s also a Secret Rare; this is the standard term for a card whose number goes above the ‘official’ number of cards in the set. In this instance, the card number (which can be found in the bottom right of the card) is 226/189, meaning that there’s 189 cards in the set, but alternate versions of those cards are numbered above 189.

Though these black and white cards do sacrifice a bit of readability due to the lack of color, it’s also likely that you probably won’t be playing with, or against these alternate art variants, as they’ll almost certainly be stored in sleeves, binders and graded slabs, well away from playable decks!

8. Unyielding Destruction – Ultra Rare, 179/189

Here we have the first non-black and white card on the list of the most wanted Attack on Titan: Apocalypse cards. It’s also not a Secret Rare; as you can see, the card number is 179 of 189.

Though Ultra Rare cards aren’t particularly easy to find, they’re certainly more common than Alternate Art variants or, of course, Chrome Rare cards; Unyielding Destruction is an Ultra Rare. It’s an Attack card with a pretty cool effect; it removes all but 4 foundations from each player’s play area, thus levelling the playing field if you find yourself behind on the number of foundation cards you have in play!

7. Colossal Confrontation/Seeking Relief (Alternate Art) – Secret Rare, 223/189

Just to confuse matters, in UniVersus not only are there ‘standard’ Secret Rare cards which are numbered above the set number, there’s also a specific rarity named Secret Rare! This card is designated as a Secret Rare, and it’s a double sided card too.

Double sided cards were introduced to UniVersus in the very first Attack on Titan set, Battle for Humanity. It’s not immediately obvious how to use them if you haven’t encountered double sided cards in UniVersus before, so take a look at our guide on how to use double sided cards in UniVersus for more details.

6. Falling Titans/Zeke’s Dream Becoming Real (Alternate Art) – Secret Rare, 220/189

Another double sided, Secret Rare (and alternate art!) card, Falling Titans/Zeke’s Dream Becoming real is another showcase for Attack on Titan’s manga art, which can transform from an Attack card to a Foundation once the keyword is triggered. You can check out exactly how all of the keywords in UniVersus work in our guide.

5. Colossal Confrontation/Seeking Relief – Secret Rare, 153/189

Of course, we’ve already seen the alternate art version Colossal Confrontation/Seeking Relief; it’s the standard version which is more sought after, however, which seems to indicate that players are also keen to get their hands on cards they want to use in their decks, rather than just cards they want to show off in their collection!

That’s not to say that the standard cards aren’t aesthetically pleasing in their own right, of course; it’s also worth noting that, interestingly, the Japanese text on the card also translates the card names on each side.

4. The Jaw Titan’s Bite (Alternate Art) – Ultra Rare, 213/189

Another Ultra Rare, alternate art manga card, The Jaw Titan’s Bite features a genuinely striking image, sure to intimidate your opponents! That is, if you were to use this card in your deck of course. It’s definitely a card that’ll be a highly prized one in any UniVersus collection.

3. Falling Titans/Zeke’s Dream Becoming Real – Secret Rare, 127/189

Here we have another interesting contrast, given that we’ve already seen the alternate art variant of Falling Titans/Zeke’s Dream Becoming Real. It’s pretty cool that we see the situation on each side slightly differently, with Zeke trapped in chains on his side of this card, but breaking out of them on the alternate art version!

2. Thunder Spear Barrage (Alternate Art) – Ultra Rare, 225/189

Thunder Spears are a brutally effective weapon against the Titans, but the explosions they cause can easily be dangerous to the humans in battle. It’s great to see them utilized in Attack on Titan: Apocalypse, as they’re a pretty iconic part of Attack on Titan lore.

This alternate art variant of Thunder Spear Barrage is a brilliantly dynamic action shot, showing the Thunder Spears mid-use. Naturally, it’s an Attack card too, with a Blitz effect to make it even more effective!

1. Falco’s Jaw Titan Attacks!/Falco’s Jaw Titan (Alternate Art) – Secret Rare, 207/189

Card 207 from the Attack on Titan: Apocalypse UniVersus set

Finally, at the top of the list of the most wanted cards from Attack on Titan: Apocalypse is another double sided, alternate art card using the manga style. Falco’s Jaw Titan Attacks! is the ‘front’, and can shift into a backup card, Falco’s Jaw Titan. An attack’s speed can be adjusted either up or down with one of Falco’s Jaw Titan’s, Enhance abilities, and can even change a zone of attack with its second Enhance ability.

So there we have it: the most wanted cards from Attack on Titan: Apocalypse. UVS Games have done an incredible job with bringing the world of Attack on Titan to UniVersus so far, and hopefully this isn’t the last we see of the series in the game.
