FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Can I remove a Stun[stun-icon] token from myself using a card or status effect?
A: No. While you are Stunned, you can’t take any actions at all. However, a teammate who is not Stunned could.
Q: Can Healing during my Defensive Roll save me from death if the opponent’s damage drops my Health to zero?
A: Yes, because all damage and healing is calculated simultaneously at the conclusion of the Roll Phase.
Q: When performing Overpower, can I play Roll Phase Action cards on the three dice used to calculate damage after the ability has been activated?
A: Yes. You’re still in the Offensive Roll Phase. But if you move into the Targeting or Defensive Roll Phase, then it becomes too late.

Q: If I have Thick Skin II in play, what happens when I get hit with abilities like Moon Elf’s Blinding Shot (inflict Blind) if I already am inflicted with Blind[blind-icon]?
A: You can prevent the incoming Blind[blind-icon], but you would still be inflicted with the first one. The status effect is already in place before the Defensive Ability was activated.
Q: If an opponent has an ability, status effect, or card that can prevent an incoming status effect, would this allow them to avoid Stun[stun-icon]?
A: No. Stun[stun-icon] is inflicted first before any damage is dealt, and once inflicted with Stun[stun-icon], they may take no actions of any kind.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: If I roll [4 feet-icon] on my Defensive Ability, do I get to cut damage in half twice?

Q: Is the bonus damage from Targeted[targeted-icon] included immediately after it is applied?
A: Yes.
Q: Can I use Evasive[evasive-icon] to avoid damage from an Ultimate?

Q: If I evade, do I still get my Defensive Roll?
A: Yes.
Q: Can Blind[blind-icon] nullify an Attack that does no damage (e.g. Meditate or Holy Light)?

A: No. A Defensive Ability is only activated in response to an Attack.

A: Yes. The following collateral dmg states “all opponents” rather than “all other opponents”.

A: Shadows[shadows-icon] does not stack, so a second instance of it cannot be gained and the existing one still goes away at the end of your turn.
Q: Does Shadows[shadows-icon] avoid damage if I am Stunned?
A: Yes. Shadows[shadows-icon] is always in effect and does not need to be “activated.” However, the player who inflicted Stun[stun-icon] still receives their additional Offensive Roll Phase.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: If I have Blessing of Divinity[blessing of divinity-icon] and my opponent activates their Ultimate Ability, which would reduce my Health to, what happens?
A: Blessing of Divinity[blessing of divinity-icon] does not reduce or prevent any of the damage from the Ultimate. Afterward, your Health is set to 1.

A: Yes. So long as you have [cp-icon], you may continue to use Tithe.

A: Yes, Tithe can be activated to re-roll any of your dice at any time.
Q: Crit[crit-icon] states that I must deal at least 5 dmg to spend it. If my opponent reduces the damage, does that prevent Crit[crit-icon]?
A: No. Crit[crit-icon] may be used as long as the damage from the ability is or more before it is modified.
Q: If Blessing of Divinity[blessing of divinity-icon] activates, did I die?
A: No. Blessing of Divinity[blessing of divinity-icon] stops your Health from ever reaching.
Q: If I spend 2 Protects[protect-icon] on the same Attack, what happens?
A: All damage is calculated simultaneously at the conclusion of the Roll Phase. So if you are receiving dmg, each Protect would be calculated to prevent dmg. Thus, all dmg would be prevented.
Q: If I gain Protect[protect-icon] from my defense, can I spend it immediately to reduce incoming Attack damage?
A: Yes. Status effects may be spent as an Instant Action.
Q: If I spend Protect[protect-icon] and Retribution[retribution-icon] on the same Attack, what happens?
A: All damage is calculated simultaneously at the conclusion of the Roll Phase. So, both values are calculated independently of each other. Protect[protect-icon] will prevent half of the incoming damage subtotal and Retribution[retribution-icon] will also deal half of the incoming damage subtotal back to the Attacker.
Q: Can I use Roll Phase cards to influence the effects of Righteous Combat?
A: Yes. You’re still in the Offensive Roll Phase. But if you move into the Targeting or Defensive Roll Phase, then it becomes too late.

Q: Can I use a Ninjutsu[ninjutsu-icon] token to make an Attack undefendable after my opponent rolls for defense?

A: Yes. Because damage is always accumulated and resolved at the conclusion of the phase in which it was dealt.

A: Yes. Undefendable only means you cannot activate your Defensive Ability.
Q: Can I use cards to change the Evasive[evasive-icon] or Reload[reload-icon] die roll?

Q: If a status effect removal card is played to remove Tactical Advantage[tactical advantage-icon], can I spend it before the token is removed?

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: How do I pronounce Nyra?
A: Near-ah.

A: No. A Stunned player may take no actions of any kind, including the choice to let Nyra receive the damage.

A: No. If you choose to have Nyra take even a single point of damage, you forfeit your defensive roll.
Q: If a status effect removal card is played to remove Nyra’s Bond[nyras bond-icon], can I spend it to Heal Nyra before the token is removed?
A: Yes and no. If it’s removed by an Instant Action (such as Buh, Bye!), then you are not able to spend Nyra’s Bond[nyras bond-icon]. However, for any non-instant removal (such as Get That Outta Here!), the token may be spent before the removal occurs.
Q: Does Nyra count as a “player” or “opponent”?
A: No. She is a “Companion” and cannot be the target of cards or abilities that specify “player” or “opponent”.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Is there any way to flip my board from the Cursed Pirate side back to the “human” side?
A: No. Once flipped, it stays that way for the remainder of the game.
Q: If the Pirate inflicts a Powder Keg[powder keg-icon] with an Attack when the opponent already has a Keg, is the dmg added to the final total or is it an isolated instance of dmg?
A: It is an isolated instance. The opponent would immediately receive dmg. Then you would proceed to determine dmg from the Attack as normal.
Q: Do I have to gain a Cursed Doubloon[cursed doubloon-icon] when an ability says “gain Cursed Doubloon[cursed doubloon-icon]”?
A: No. Gaining Cursed Doubloons[cursed doubloon-icon] is always optional for the Pirate.
Q: If the Pirate is on her Cursed side and an opponent Attacks while they are afflicted with Parlay[parlay-icon], is the opponent then inflicted with Powder Keg[powder keg-icon] due to my Passive Ability?
A: No. It states “...does not result in an Attack”. As long as the ability they activate deals damage that targets another player, they do not receive the Powder Keg[pwder keg-icon] (but Parlay[parlay-icon] still means the ability does not deal any damage). Similarly, if they fail a Blinding Light[blinding light-icon] roll, they still Attacked, it just failed.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Do my Bots count as status effects?
A: No, they are Companions.
Q: When can I spend 4 Synth[synth-icon] to inflict a Nanite[nanite-icon] on my opponent?
A: At any time. Even during the Upkeep Phase before you might activate the Nanobot to Detonate Nanites[nanite-icon].

A: Overclock, Zapppp! and Maximum Power all allow you Activate Bots without using Synth[synth-icon]. You get a free use with any Bots activated that way.
Q: I activated the Shock Bot to add dmg. Then my opponent used Evasive[evasive-icon] (or some other damage reducing effect). Is the damage from Shock Bot a separate instance of damage?
A: No. Unless otherwise stated, all damage dealt during an Offensive Roll Phase is cumulative.
Q: Can I use the Heal Bot if the incoming damage is undefendable?
A: Yes, as long as the incoming dmg is at least 6.
Q: When are Nanites[nanite-icon] Detonated?
A: Nanites[nanite-icon] are Detonated when the Nanobot is Activated.

A: Yes, you can spend it immediately in an attempt to make your Attack undefendable or to avoid all incoming damage.
Q: Can I use Flight[flight-icon] to avoid damage from an Ultimate Ability?
A: No. You can never prevent or avoid dmg from an Ultimate.
Q: Does Blinding Light[blinding light-icon] stop an Ultimate Ability?
A: No. Nothing stops an Ultimate except manipulating dice before it activates. However, after the Ultimate completes, Blinding Light[blinding light-icon] is still removed.
Q: Can Holy Presence[holy presence-icon] be transferred by an opponent?
A: Holy Presence[holy presence-icon] can be removed, but never transferred.
Q: What happens if Blessing of Divinity[blessing of divinity-icon] is triggered while I am afflicted with Poison[poison-icon]?
A: Blessing of Divinity[blessing of divinity-icon] is a shield that prevents lethal dmg (leaving you with 1 Health). It does not remove status effects. So you would survive the blow, but during your next Upkeep Phase, you would receive dmg from Poison[poison-icon] and your Health would be reduced to 0.
Q: When I activate Purify and choose an opponent to remove a status effect, can they spend that token before it is removed?
A: Yes. Spending status effects is like an Instant Action.
