If you’ve ever wondered about the right level of rarity for your Streamloots cards, like whether a card should be as special as “legendary” or how often an action should pop up, you’re not alone. We’re here to clear up any confusion about deciding on card rarities. There are four main levels: Common, Rare, Epic, and Legendary, each with its own chance of showing up when your viewers open packs.
Let’s dive into what kinds of cards fit best at each rarity level.
Table of Contents
Common cards
Common cards are the ones your viewers will see the most. This rarity should be fun but not interrupt your stream. Think of them as a way for your audience to enjoy themselves without needing much from you.
Here’s what fits well as a common card:
- GIFs: Spice up your stream with GIFs or animations that don’t need your direct input. If they come with sound, remember to set a cooldown to avoid repetition.
- Sounds Collection: Add some audio flair with sound effects. You can find a bunch of them ready to use in our collection.
- Memes Collection: Personalize common cards with channel-specific or jokes.
- Questions Collection: A questions game that you can use no matter your type of content. Add this collection for your IRL stream, while playing a game, or for a great Q&A session with your community.
Rare cards
Rare cards can introduce simple interactions. Think “Choosing the next song” or “Playing a game with one hand for a minute”. This rarity should add fun without taking over your stream. Setting time limits on these interactions helps keep everything balanced.
Avoid long commitments like playing an entire game with a viewer for rare cards.
Here’s what fits well as a rare card:
- Interactions
- “Play with one hand only for 1 minute”
- “Your message will appear on stream”
- “I’ll greet you”
- “Only emojis in chat”
- Voicemod Collection: Allows viewers to activate different voice effects, play a variety of sounds from the Voicemod library, or simply toggle on the Hear Myself function at any time to confuse you.
Epic cards
Epic cards offer more engaging interactions since they’re less common. It’s still smart to have time limits to prevent any single card from disrupting your entire stream. Avoid offering high-value rewards with epic cards to keep things manageable.
With the epic rarity, you can start rewarding your viewers with more demanding interactions, since they have fewer chances of appearing in packs.
Always remember that you can still set up a time limit for these cards. You don’t want to end up playing with socks on your hands during the whole live stream, for example, if your viewers decide to buy many packs. Here’s what fits well as an epic card:
- Interactions:
- “A user bans another user for 10 minutes”
- “Protect yourself from the previous ban”
- “I will mention you in a tweet”
- “I will follow you on social media or a game”
Legendary cards
Legendary cards are the stars of the show, highly anticipated by your viewers. When setting up these cards, be clear about what’s offered and set reasonable limits to manage expectations and resources.
Examples include hosting a themed stream, offering signed merch, or inviting viewers to join you on Discord for a stream.
Reserve the legendary rarity for truly special interactions, and avoid using them for simple GIFs or animations. Here’s what fits well as a legendary card:
- Interactions
- “I’ll do a themed live stream”
- “I’ll do a special live stream that lasts 12 hours”
- “You’ll receive merch signed by me”
- “You’ll be with me on Discord during my following live stream”
- Prizes: Game codes, memberships, merch, etc.
Bonus Tip
Balance your collection with more common cards than rare, more rare than epic, and so on. This ensures a fun and varied experience for your viewers while keeping your stream manageable.
