Icon Abbreviations

Within this document the following abbreviations are used to represent game icons which appear in the printed text box of cards:

{r} Resource Point

{p} Power

{d} Defense Value

{h} Life (of a hero card)

{i} Intellect (of a hero card)

Bladebreak

Equipment that are fragile and break after being used to defend. If you defend with a card with Bladebreak, destroy it when the combat chain closes.

Example card:

Ironrot Helm

Generic Equipment - Head

Bladebreak (If your defend with Ironrot Helm, destroy it when the combat chain closes.)

Defense: 1

• When you defend with a card it remains on the combat chain until the chain closes, therefore you cannot defend with an equipment multiple times on the same combat chain.
• When this card is destroyed, it is sent to your graveyard.
• The ability goes on the stack when the combat chain closes.

Combo

A ninja mechanic that showcases the power of playing multiple attacks in a perfect sequence. Combo cares about the last (most recent previous) attack that was played in the combat chain.

Example card:

Whelming Gustwave

Pitch: 1
Cost: 0
Ninja Action - Attack

Combo - If Surging Strike was the last attack this combat chain, Whelming Gustwave gains +1{p}, go again, and “If this hits, draw a card.”

Power: 3
Defense: 3

• The last attack does not have to have hit.
• Only the name of the last attack matters, other variables such as the pitch cost does not matter.
• You may still play the attack even if combo isn’t active.

Crush

A guardian mechanic that showcases the strength of the guardian. When an attack with crush deals 4 or more damage to a hero, an effect is applied.

Example card:

Disable

Pitch: 1
Cost: 5
Guardian Attack Action

Crush - If Disable deals 4 or more damage to a hero, put a card from their arsenal on the bottom of its owner deck.

Power: 9
Defense: 3

• Crush only checks the amount of damage dealt to the hero. Prevented damage does not count.
• Crush is not optional, if the card does 4 or more damage, the effect will apply.

Dominate

An attack that is difficult to defend. Cards with dominate cannot be defended with more than 1 card from the defending hero’s hand.

Example card:

Demolition Crew

Pitch: 2
Cost: 2
Generic Action - Attack

As an additional cost to play Demolition Crew, reveal a card in your hand with cost {r}{r} or greater.

Dominate (The defending hero can’t defend Demolition Crew with more than 1 card from their hand.)

Power: 5
Defense: 2

• You can still block with equipment and defense reactions played from arsenal in addition to up to 1 card from hand.
• Playing a defense reaction from your hand counts towards the 1 card from your hand restriction. You cannot defend with a card in your hand then play a defense reaction from your hand.

Go again

Go again allows multiple actions to be played in a turn, when usually playing an action would use up your action point, and therefore end your turn. A card with go again gives the controller of that card or activated ability 1 action point when it resolves.

Example card:

Head Jab

Pitch: 3
Cost: 0
Ninja Action - Attack

Go again

Power: 1
Defense: 2

• When an action with go again resolves, its controller gains 1 action point.
• Multiple instances of go again on the same card or activated ability do not stack. If a card or activated ability has multiple instances of go again when it resolves its controller gains 1 action point only.

Intimidate

A brute mechanic that showcases how frightening a brute is to its enemies. Intimidate removes a random card from a heroes hand making it more difficult to defend.

Example card:

Pack Hunt
Pitch: 1
Cost: 2
Brute Attack Action

Intimidate (Target hero banishes face down a random card from their hand. At the beginning of the end phase, return all cards banished this way to their owners hand.)

Attack: 6
Defense: 3

• The player who owns the banished card may look at it.
• The card banished from intimidate is returned to hand at the beginning of the end phase. This is before players draw up to hand size.
• You may target yourself with this ability. However you will receive the card back into your hand before drawing up to your hand size.
• You may target a hero with no cards in hand.
• If there are other banished cards that aren’t from intimidate, it is encouraged to keep intimidated cards seperate from these cards.

Reprise

A warrior mechanic that showcases the prowess a warrior has when they are engaged in close combat. Reprise effects “turn on” if the defending hero has defended with a card from their hand.

Example card:

Overpower
Pitch: 3/2/1
Cost: 3
Warrior Attack Reaction

Target weapon attack gains +2/3/4{p}

Reprise - If the defending hero has defended with a card from their hand this chain link, the attack gains an additional +2{p}.

Power: -
Defense: 3

• Reprise cares about the current chain link not the whole combat chain. If a previous attack was defended by a card in hand, it will have no effect on reprise for the current chain link.
• Reprise is checked at the time you play the card. If a card with reprise is played then a defense reaction is played from hand, the effect will not apply retroactively.
• Equipment and cards from arsenal that defend an attack do not turn on reprise.

• You may elect not to banish a card when searching, however you still must shuffle your deck.
• Katsu's hero card effect triggers only once per turn, the first time you hit with an attack action card. If you choose not to resolve the effect and you hit again later in the same turn, Katsu's hero card effect will not trigger again.

At the beginning of your end phase, if Dawnblade did not hit this turn, remove all +1{p} counters from Dawnblade

Power: 3

• Dawnblade does not have go again nor can it attack more than once per turn. Dawnblade requires other cards to allow Dawnblade to attack more than once.
