Those achievements can be related to the one player or the multiplayer mode of the game Doyu Card Battle, but they can be related with other Doyu games too.
You can obtain money either on the one player or the multiplayer mode.
Once you have many cards, you can decide to deselect the worst cards you do not want to use, as long as you keep 24 normal cards and 4 special cards at least.

Your Character On Your Character section you can select which character you want to use on both one player and multiplayer fights. Characters do not have special habilities, it is only an esthetic selection.	One Player Mode On the one player mode, you will fight against CPU. There are 6 worlds and 60 levels to defeat. Each world will unlock 1 or 2 new cards. On some levels, CPU obtains new cards. Do not forget to spend your money to buy new cards to be able to defeat your opponents.

Multiplayer Mode

When creating a match on multiplayer mode, you can choose the initial health of both players, the time per turn and the playing mode.
Evolution or RPG mode is the main mode. On it, each player will use his/her own deck.
Arcade mode is less interesting but more egalitarian. On it, players' decks are not taken into account and both players employ the same default deck. This mode can be useful to allow people with very different decks to play between them.
