The '''Water Civilization''' {{W}} is a [[monocolored]] [[civilization]].

==Icon==
It is distinguished by a blue color frame and is represented by icon of a cylinder with electronic design.

==Gameplay==
The Water Civilization is a civilization that uses brain power, delaying and stealth so it has most of the game's Card Draw, Bounce and Unblockable creatures. As card draw is extremely important for the flow of one's deck and it is a specialty of the Water Civilization, it can be safe to say most decks are unable to function properly without its card draw.

However, it does not have anything that can increase its mana and its attack power is low with only a few creatures with [[Triple Breaker]] and nothing above and thus does not function properly on its own, even during [[Dragon Saga]] where other mono civilization or quasi-mono civilization decks rose into the metagame. Nevertheless, it is good at amassing weak creatures to overwhelm the opponent.

==Story==
The world of Water is half-land, half-sea. Inhabitants, who once lived only in water, have had to learn to adapt to both in their search for sustainable environments. It was ruled by [[Emperor Quazla]] before he was thwarted by his own civilization.

Because energy resources are more abundant there, cities are built in water. In spite of the oceanic depths, they are clean and bright, well lit by luminous bodies. At the center of the main metropolitan area is the Tower, shaped like a spiraling strand of DNA, where the Cyber Lords float in their cylinders. Surrounding the Tower are transparent buildings, constructed from solidified seawater that can be altered as necessary.

Although not common knowledge, the source of energy for this civilization is found in a hidden ocean current. Those that possess this secret knowledge make up a powerful few.

Inhabitants of the Water civilization worship technology. They prefer study and research to real action, and in wartime depend on strategies and tactics rather than direct attack. Controlled by Cyber Lords, many water creatures have a chip installed in their bodies. They communicate and exchange information telepathically. Those with higher intelligence are able to alter their body shape in response to the environment. They can also manipulate the seawater around them, transforming it into a weapon, armor, clothing, or transportation suitable for land or sea.

==Interactions with the other civilizations==
===[[Allied Civilization]]s===
This civilization is allied with the [[Light Civilization]] as they understand the importance of spirit and take thoughtful actions, valuing knowledge and order.

This civilization is also allied with the [[Darkness Civilization]] as both possess deceptive and selfish traits.

===[[Enemy Civilization]]===
This civilization is enemies with the [[Fire Civilization]] as they respect emotions instead of overthinking and inaction.

This civilization is also enemies with the [[Nature Civilization]] as they avoid technology and are bound by the laws of the world.

==Trivia==
*Early Water civilization creatures tend to have lower than usual power. For example, a water civilization [[vanilla]] creature may have 2 to 1000 power instead of the usual 2 to 2000. This is often shunned by players and creatures such as [[Scissor Eye]] had been treated as in-jokes.
