These symbols are Haos (symbol), Ventus (symbol), Aquos (symbol), Pyrus (symbol), and Darkus (symbol).
Faction (see rule 1.5) icons are symbols that represent the different factions of Bakugan there are. Symbols are used to represent some of the basic elements of the game.
While a card with an X in the cost is in the batch (see rule 4.4), the X counts as whatever amount of energy was spent to pay X.
While a card with an X in the cost is in your hand, deck, discard pile, or in play, the X counts as zero. This is a variable and can have different values throughout the game. The letter X will appear on some cards. If a Bakugan Damage Rating becomes negative, it is treated as 0 when counting damage and does not subtract from a Team Attack (see rule 5.12). Negative (-) numbers subtract from the total of whatever it is the player is counting. 1.8.1 Additive (+) numbers add to the total of whatever the player is counting. Players may spend any Energy they produce throughout the turn, but any unspent Energy disappears at the end of the turn. Players may not uncharge an Energy card to produce Energy unless they need it to play a card. The primary way to create Energy is by uncharging Energy cards (see rule 7.2.2.). Energy is the fundamental resource used to play cards and generate effects. There are six Factions in Bakugan: Aquos, Aurelus, Darkus, Haos, Pyrus, and Ventus. When a player would be dealt any damage and there are no cards remaining in their deck, they lose the game. Each player shuffles their own deck and then gives it to their opponent who may also choose to shuffle or cut, then each player draws five cards from their own deck. Each BakuCore, after the first, must be placed with at least one side completely touching another BakuCore. Beginning with the starting player, each player takes turns placing their six BakuCores in the center of the play area, starting equidistant from each player, one at a time. Randomly determine a player to be the starting player (see rule 7.5). Each player puts their three Character cards face down in front of them and places the corresponding, rolled up, Bakugan on top of the appropriate character card. In the case that a player has multiple effects that occur at the same time, that player chooses the order for those effects to happen. Continue completing any additional text on the card. If a card has an effect that can’t be completed, that part of the card is ignored. Cards complete in the order that their text reads, from top to bottom. The word “can’t” override any cards or effects that would otherwise happen. In the case that this happens, follow the text on the card. Cards can contradict the basic rules of the game. Players must use BakuCores that match the symbols indicated on the BakuCore indicator. Players may not include cards in their deck that do not share a Faction with at least one Bakugan on their team. Cards that have the same name and same ability text but differ in some other way are still considered to be the same card for deck construction.
Decks may contain no more than three copies of each card, identified by the card name in combination with the function of the card.A player’s BakuCores must match the six BakuCore indicators on their Bakugan Character cards.Before playing, each player is required to have three Bakugan toys along with their Character cards, six BakuCores, and a deck consisting of exactly 40 cards.
