Hunter × Hunter Battle Collection (ハンター×ハンター バトルコレクション, Hantā × Hantā Batoru Korekushon) was a role-playing game released by ForGroove Inc, a joint venture between CROOZ Inc and Forecast Communications Inc, a subsidiary of Television Network Corporation Mobage, a platform operated by DeNA. The game service was terminated on July 31, 2023.
Overview[]
The game was based on battling opponents. The aim of the game was to beat the opponents and power up the player's characters, in a race to become a legendary 3-Star Hunter. Players could receive quests from the Hunter's Guild, which were completed upon victory over a quest boss. At random intervals the player also would run into raid bosses, and each various opponent would give them access to new characters and items.
A few years after the game's initial release, it was also made available to play on PC in the browser.
The game followed the plot line of the manga, and thus the participants could use Nen and special skills, leading to intense battles which require both fast reflexes and good strategy to win. Winning battles allowed the player to proceed to the higher levels of the stadium, and the more the player won, the stronger the enemies they would have to face. Of course, when defeating stronger enemies, players were awarded with much more valuable prizes.
It was also possible to form a guild with other users, allowing for a more social aspect in the game, and giving players the ability to team up to take on quests from the Hunter's Guild and cooperate with each other to take out the more trickier raid bosses.
Card Rebirth, Card Forms, and Puppets[]
Card Rebirth (or Card Evolution) was a way to raise the maximum level of the card by merging it with similar one. Evolved cards showed a different image and sometimes a new puppet.

In the series of cards, only four cards showed new image (and sometimes puppet) for each evolution, Gon & Killua / The Intouchables (ゴン&キルア/最強の二人), H×H All-Stars / 3 Anniversary Special ver (H×Hオールスター/3周年記念Special ver), Phantom Troupe / Spiders Play Melody (幻影旅団/蜘蛛が奏でる旋律), and Zoldyck Family / Legend of Assassination Family (ゾルディックファミリー/伝説の暗殺一家).

Another evolution was called "Kira" (キラ). It's possible with 4th level cards and a special item called "P License" (Prism License) (Pライセンス , P Raisensu). This item allowed the player to get a shiny card that had one-step more strength and defense capability values than the last level which is X+++.
