#### 2. Building and Managing Your Team

* **Team Assembly:** Your team consists of 3 cards. Use the `/team` command to view or edit your current team.
* **Focus on Power:** Higher team power results in better rewards. Continuously update your team to stay competitive.

#### 3. Fusing Cards

* **Increase Power:** Fuse cards of the same character using the `/fuse` command to boost their power.
