so how do you get better triple triad cards?

His card is pretty good, too. I put it immediately in my deck and it has helped me win other cards.

Oh, and if people missed it, you get the Squall card by beating every NPC once. Well, you need to beat 30 unique NPCs, and there are a total of 32 available to challenge. You get the Vaan card by winning 300 games with the Roulette rule (the one where the rules are randomly chosen). And, lastly, you can get the Shantotto card by winning 30 matches in a tournament, which seems actually quite easy and doable right when the first tourny opens...

Yesterday I was lamenting how weak my starter card deck was vs NPC one... then like half an hour after I ran WoD I noticed an Onion Knight card in my inventory, reviewed logs and it dropped to me at end of WoD. 5* with 8/2/8/A, I'm guessing that's a pretty rare drop? Are there game modes where you can lose a card to competitor if you lose the match- because I definitely want to keep this one.

I got the Demon Wall card from AK and Siren card from Pharos and that was just because I needed to run those for Animus books. The thing is I can't use both in the same deck.

No. There is also no ability to trade cards at all, voluntarily or otherwise.

Do NPCs only drop XXX card when you capture it and win a match? (i.e. The targeted card is blue before winning.)

Or do I only need to win a match to get a chance for a card to drop that's either blue or red?

All cards you can win are RNG

Neither. Specific NPCs can drop specific cards with a low probability when you win a match against them. The drop rate for a given card is based on that card's rarity. For Instance, King Elmer can drop Godbert, a three star card, and Bahamut, a five star card. On average, you'll get like, 10 Godberts before you see a Bahamut.
