Profile
Customising your profile
Your profile is your collector storefront. People decide from it whether to message you or move on, and it follows you into chats, reviews and listings. It is assembled from simple parts: an avatar, a frame, a header background, a page background, a badge by your name, a showcase of pinned cards and tiles with personal stats. Most of it is earned with achievements and WaifuCoins; some parts are subscription perks.
Why customise a profile at all
A collection is a personal thing, but a profile shows it to others. More often than not, it is what makes the first impression.
People want to deal with you
A blank page with a default picture reads as an abandoned account. A finished profile reads as "this person is serious" — and on a market that is half the decision.
You get recognised
Your avatar and name colour travel with you into chat, reviews, listings and the user card. That is how a regular seller or trader gets remembered.
It is a record of what you collected
Pinned cards, badges and stat tiles tell your collector story without a single word.
It is nice to come back to
Your own cover, background and showcase turn the page into a place rather than a database row.
What customisation is made of
Nine layers. None of them is required, but together they make the profile yours.
| Element | Where it shows | How to get it |
|---|---|---|
| Avatar | profile header, chats, reviews, listings | crop of your own card, your own image, or a GIF |
| Avatar frame | around the avatar | a subscription perk |
| Header background (poster) | the wide strip at the top of a profile | earned by achievements or bought with WaifuCoins |
| Page background | the whole profile page | your own image, Max subscription |
| Badge | next to your name | earned by an achievement or 1,000 ₩ |
| Name colour | everywhere your name appears | a subscription perk |
| Card showcase | the pinned-card carousel and the backdrop behind it | slots grow with your level, the backdrop costs WaifuCoins |
| Achievement showcase | a block of tiles with your stats | a subscription perk |
| Block layout | the order and visibility of page blocks | a subscription perk |
Avatar: three ways
The avatar is the only piece of customisation visible outside your own page. Start there.
A crop from a card you pulled
The free and most common route. It works with cards from your "My drops" collection — the ones pulled in the gacha: the card menu has a "Set as avatar" action.
Your own image
A Max subscription perk: upload any image. An uploaded avatar stays with you even after the subscription ends — it is your identity, not a rented decoration.
An animated GIF avatar
Bought with WaifuCoins: 5,000 ₩ minus 250 ₩ for every month since you registered — the discount reaches 4,000 ₩ and never goes below 1,000 ₩. It is arranged by hand: send the file from the email or Telegram listed in your profile.
Two different backgrounds
They are easy to confuse: one is the strip at the top, the other is the entire page.
Header background — a poster
A wide image above your avatar and name, like a cover. Posters come from the shop: some unlock through achievements, others are bought with WaifuCoins. Some are free.
Page background — your own image
Fills the whole profile page behind every block. A Max perk: upload your own file and adjust position, scale and opacity so the text stays readable.
What happens without a subscription
The page background switches off when the subscription lapses, but the file stays — renew and turn it back on. Unlike the background, an avatar is never taken away.
The badge by your name and the avatar frame
Two small details that immediately say who you are.
Badge
A small icon next to your name. An achievement unlocks it, then it costs 1,000 ₩. You wear one at a time — whichever you consider your main one.
Hidden badges
Some badges are not listed in the catalogue at all: until you meet the condition, you do not even know they exist.
Frame
A ring around your avatar. It is not bought: the right to wear one comes from a subscription or a met condition, checked every time. When a subscription lapses the frame comes off by itself; renew and put it back on.
You can try before you earn
The frame catalogue shows the ones you cannot have yet: you may try them on to see what you are working towards.
The showcase of pinned cards
The centrepiece of the page: the cards you chose to bring to the front.
Pinning cards
Any card from your collection can be pinned to the showcase and joins the carousel at the top of the page.
How many slots
The number of slots equals your level plus one: it grows along with your activity on the site.
Your level opens slots
Level comes from the experience you earn on the site: daily visits, marking cards, deals, achievements. It also shows up in badge and frame conditions.
Showcase backdrop
A separate image drawn behind the carousel. Bought with WaifuCoins and applied either to the whole profile or to one collection.
The achievement showcase
A block of tiles where you show the numbers you are proud of: how many cards you have collected, how many days in a row you show up, how many deals are behind you. You pick the stats yourself and arrange them in the order you want.
Not the achievements that hand out rewards
The name is confusing, so to be clear: regular achievements are tasks that pay XP, coins and badges, and they live on their own page. The achievement showcase is just tiles with your stats.
You choose what to be proud of
The catalogue holds dozens of stats: completed sets, marked cards, boxes opened, day streaks, reviews received, market sales, favourite characters, coins spent.
The order is yours
Tiles can be rearranged: whatever you are proudest of goes first and catches a visitor eye before anything else.
Available with a subscription
The showcase unlocks with Premium: six tiles on Premium and nine on Max. Without a subscription the block is simply not assembled.
And the page block order too
The same editor reorders and hides the profile blocks themselves: level, tags, the card showcase, favourite characters, set progress.
All of it is checked only when you make a change: if your subscription lapses the page does not rearrange itself — you just cannot edit it until you renew.
What a visitor sees
Two settings decide how your profile opens to a stranger: the greeting and privacy.
Seller greeting
A short text from your shop settings. It is shown not on the page but when someone first messages you or places an order — exactly where it is needed.
Private profile
Closes the page entirely: only your name is exposed. Your customisation will not be visible either — decide which matters more.
Fine-grained settings
City, the Telegram badge, the "on sale" counter and the ability to message you are toggled separately. Hidden online status is a subscription perk.
The user card
Clicking a name opens a short card: avatar, badge, level and reviews. Privacy applies there too — whatever is hidden on the profile never reaches it.
Common questions
How do I set an avatar?
Open your "My drops" collection — the cards you pulled in the gacha — tap the card you want and choose "Set as avatar". Then move the frame over the image and confirm: the site crops the square for you. Other collections cannot be used for this. With a Max subscription you can upload your own image, and WaifuCoins can buy an animated GIF avatar.
Can I customise a profile for free?
Yes. An avatar cropped from your card, pinned cards, achievement badges and some posters cost nothing but activity. WaifuCoins are earned too — they cannot be bought with money.
How does the header background differ from the page one?
The header background is a wide cover image above your avatar, taken from the poster shop. The page background is your own image behind the entire profile page, a Max perk.
What disappears when a subscription ends?
The frame comes off, the page background switches off and the achievement showcase editor closes — while the showcase you already built stays as it is. Avatars, badges, posters and pinned cards are not touched at all.
Why can I not see a badge someone else has?
Some badges stay hidden until you meet their condition: until then the badge is not even in the catalogue. So yes — some of them come as a surprise.
How do I get more cards into the showcase?
Level up: you get exactly one slot more than your current level. Experience comes from daily visits, marking cards, deals and achievements.
