Action Card Anatomy

p. 9

A. Card Name — This is the name of the card.
B. Initiative Value — The Initiative value of the card determines the order in which the card is resolved (See page 7).
C. Card’s Tier — This Roman numeral is the card’s Tier. The card’s Tier is important when leveling up (See pages 15-16).
D. Color Icon — The card’s color is determined by the color used in its design elements, but you can also tell the card’s color by a single-letter icon in the top right corner of the card.

There are 6 card colors - Gold(D), Silver(S), Red(R), Green(G), Blue(B), and Purple (P).

E. Illustration — The card’s illustration; lovingly created by one of our wonderful artists.
F. Secondary Action Icons — You can choose to perform a Secondary action, instead of a Primary action. All actions are covered in detail on pages 11-14.
G. Primary Action Icon — This is a Primary action icon. You can choose to perform either the Primary action, or one of the secondary actions. All actions are covered in detail on pages 11-14.

The card text is only applied when performing the Primary action!

H. Card Text — The card text must be applied when you perform the Primary action (All actions are covered on pages 11-14).

Card text often includes keywords like “”, “”, etc. All these keywords are explained on pages 18-19.

I. Reminder Text — Reminder text is parenthesized text printed in italics following the regular card text. It is there purely as clarification.
K. Item Type Icon — When this card is used as an item, this icon determines the item bonus. Items are covered in detail on page 16. Only cards of Tier II and above have an Item icon.

L. Primary Action Type

p. 9

The Card’s type is the same as the type of its Primary action.

A card with an Attack Primary action is an Attack card. A card with a Skill Primary action is referred to as a Skill card etc.

Basic/Non-Basic (Supertype)

p. 9

Basic cards are your hero’s signature attacks and skills. Your Gold and Silver cards are basic and all other cards are non-basic.

All actions on a basic card are basic actions. Basic primary actions have the word basic before the action type.

Unlike non-basic cards, basic cards have no card Tier and cannot be upgraded.

Ranged / Non-Ranged (Subtype)

p. 9

Ranged primary actions have the word Ranged next to their type, and a range icon on the right side of the card.

All other actions are non-ranged, including those with a Radius icon.

M. Range/Radius Icon

p. 9

Some primary actions have a Range or Radius icon and a value on the right side of the card.

The value on the Range/Radius icon determines the maximum Range/Radius of your action. If the card text mentions Range/Radius, it refers to this value.

If your card has a Range/Radius value of 1, your primary action can only affect adjacent targets. With a Range/Radius value of 3, your primary action can affect targets up to 3 spaces away.

There are no “line of sight” rules. You can target units through obstacles, as long as they are in range/radius.
