If an object of power is erased, any remaining points of shard damage is carried over and applied to their attached character. Objects of Power also take shard damage, and do so before their attached character does. If a character has any attached objects of power, the objects of power add their strength to the character’s. When a card is reduced to 0 shards, it’s erased and sent to its owner’s dregs. Attackers and defenders deal shard damage to each other at the same time equal to their strength, which is displayed in a circle at the centre of their hex.įor each ‘point’ of shard damage a card takes, its shard value (the number of shards in its hex) is reduced by 1. To attack, select one of your characters (called the attacker) and declare their target (called the defender). If this is your first turn, you probably won’t have any characters on your canvas. During your Attack step, each character on your canvas may make one attack against a character on another canvas.
