# Parts of a Card - Typeline

General Rules: 

1. Cards have a card type listed on the left side of the middle segment of the card in the typeline. The types are [Champion](/general-rules/general-rules-card-types/card-types-champion.md), [Ally](/general-rules/general-rules-card-types/card-types-ally.md), [Action](/general-rules/general-rules-card-types/card-types-action.md), [Attack](/general-rules/general-rules-card-types/card-types-attack.md), [Weapon](/general-rules/general-rules-card-types/card-types-weapon.md), [Domain](/general-rules/general-rules-card-types/card-types-domain.md), [Item](/general-rules/general-rules-card-types/card-types-item.md), and [Phantasia](/general-rules/general-rules-card-types/card-types-phantasia.md).
   1. By default, Champion cards have a life stat; Ally cards have both power and life stats; Action cards have a speed stat; Weapon cards have both power and durability stats; Attack cards have a power stat.
   2. [Functional Subtypes](/general-rules/general-rules-card-types/card-types-functional-subtypes.md) may grant additional stats that are not normally found on these card types.
2. Ally, Action, Weapon, and Attack cards generally have class subtyping.
   1. A class subtype will be the first subtype listed on the typeline.
   2. Cards can have multiple subtypes with multiple class subtypes divided by a “/” on the card.
   3. Cards can be activated regardless of class typing.

E.g., a player can activate Assassin cards even if their champion is a Warrior.

3. Cards sometimes have characteristic subtyping such as “Reaction,” “Skill,” “Harmony,” or “Melody.” These characteristics may be referenced by abilities as conditions for certain effects.
