2. Card of the Week

When declaring an attack, you’ll usually need to consider your opponent’s potential to defend – as well as the aftermath of each possible outcome. This effect is one of the few in the game that can disrupt your opponent’s ability to block, and it comes on a Battle Card with a low MP cost and high Rank. This can be utilized to direct a defender away from a specific Character (such as a damaged Character that you don’t want KO’d, or a Character that benefits from gaining VPs), while ideally soaking up attacks into a larger Character (such as Eren Jaeger – Mysterious Titan). In general, this unique effect can put the opponent in a tricky situation – as evidenced by the ruling inquiry below!

3. FAQs


“If I play Power Corrupts on my Batman and attack with him using 6 Special (U95-AT), will attacks from my other Characters become unblockable?”

No. Since it is not possible to defend the Character targeted by Power Corrupts, the effect of 6 Special will not prevent your opponent from defending your other Characters.

“Can I choose to KO Solomon Grundy – Cyrus Gold with Green Arrow – Hand of Death’s effect?”

No. Green Arrow’s effect requires you to actually KO a Character, if possible. Note that if Green Arrow’s effect instead required each player to target a Character to KO it, you would then be able to target Solomon Grundy (and he would survive).

4. T^3

As more Multi-Stat Battle Cards release, it will become increasingly difficult to choose which version to use at each Rank! Here are three Multi-Stat effects from the next set:

  • a Character that rewards revealing Multi-Stat Battle Cards from your hand
  • an effect that searches for multiple Multi-Stat Battle Cards based on the types of Characters you control
  • a Rank 6 Multi-Stat Battle Card with a powerful effect if used by a Character with a maximum rank of 6
