The fights

  • Attack Step
     Switch from the "active" position to "rested" 1 Character or Leader on your "field" and designate a target to attack.
    All "When Attacking" effects will activate and resolve after the target is chosen.
  • Block Step
     The player who is attacked can activate the Blocker ability of one of his Characters.
  • counter-step
     The player being attacked may play a Counter card from their hand.
  • Damage Step
     Compare the "Power" value of the attacking and attacked cards. The attacking card wins if its "Power" is greater than or equal to that of the card being attacked, leading to one of these results:
    • If a Leader is attacked:
    The defeated Leader takes 1 damage.
    If a Character is attacked:
    The defeated Character is knocked out and is sent to the "trash".
    If the attacking Character is defeated:
    Nothing happens.
    When your Leader takes a damage, add a card from your "Life" to your hand.
    If the card added to your hand has Trigger , you may reveal it and activate its Trigger effect.
    If a player has no more cards in his "Life" zone and his Leader receives a damage, he loses the game.
