Card type · In deck: 1 (does not count toward the 50)
Bandai's definition
“The heart of a player's deck. A player's cards and strategies are determined by the color of their Leader, with games won when an opponent's Leader's Life is brought to zero.”
Source: Bandai — official 対戦方法ガイド (How to Play Guide) — Deck construction, turn structure, the battle sequence, the Chakra loop and every play-area limit are transcribed from Bandai's own guide.
Every deck has exactly one Leader. Both revealed Leaders — Naruto Uzumaki (N-001) and Sasuke Uchiha (N-012) — carry DMG 1, POW 3 and LIFE 15, and both share a [Recovery] ability that rests the Leader to flip all of your CHAKRA face-up from the second turn onward. Resting it that way costs you your attack for the turn.
