There are two ways to get all the DSS cards.

1. You can either finish the game the whole way through and use the name "Fireball" at the start of a new adventure (after completing it once) - OR -

2. When you use a DSS combo, pause the game right after activating it, go to the DSS screen and select a new combo. You can use any combo after getting the first two DSS cards. If you need the first two DSS cards, kill Skeleton Bombers and Bone Heads until you get them.
