GLOSSARY

Mechanic definitions

Damage

A number of cards to remove. Player cards leave the deck first, then hand, then combo; enemies lose cards at random.

Shield

Persistent guard capped by the max shield skill. Blocks one for one and refills after a won location battle.

Barrier

Absorbs before shield. Player barrier expires at the end of the round; enemy barrier holds through your next combo.

Poison

Ticks at player turn start and bypasses shield, barrier and reduction. Applying it replaces existing poison.

Ignore shield

Pierce. Skips shield entirely, though barrier and damage reduction still apply to you.

Damage reduction

A percentage cut for the current round, rounded up, applied before barrier and shield.

Mana

Run-scoped. Gain effects add it, spend effects consume all of it at once for damage or barrier.

Mark

Battle-scoped Seeker flag that turns weak-point cards into pierce plus bonus damage.

Combo preview

Simulates the committed combo with the real effect handlers, so what it shows is what resolves.
