Hero Player Actions


Index -> Playing the Game -> Mission Phase -> Performing Actions -> Hero Player Actions

When you are the hero player, there are three kinds of actions you can perform: play a card, assign a character, and boost a character.

Play a Card

You may play an event, support character, or gear card from your hand. You must pay the power cost listed on the card, subtracting it from your total available power for the turn. If you don't have enough power to pay this cost, you can't play the card.

When you play an event, its game text is carried out immediately, then the card is placed in your discard pile.

When you play a support character or a gear, the card is placed in a row behind your team characters.

You can't play a character if you already have a character (team or support) that has the same title in play, even if the two have different subtitles. There is no such restriction for gear.

By default, all your characters and gear are ready, available for you to use in performing other actions.

As a result of a player's actions, a ready card can become stopped. A stopped card is no longer ready, and is unavailable for use through the rest of the turn. Its image will appear greyed out, with the stopped symbol on top of it. A card that is already stopped can't be stopped again.

If one of your support characters or gear is destroyed, it is placed in your discard pile.

Assign a Character

You may assign a ready character to the current mission. He will slide upward on screen toward the current mission. (He is then no longer ready, he becomes assigned instead.)

You can assign a team character to the current mission even if his rating in the skill it requires is 0; you can assign a support character to the mission only if he has some rating in the required skill.

To complete the current mission during the next step, the total skills contributed by your assigned characters must be equal to or greater than its difficulty. Assigning characters is your means to ensure success.

Boost a Character

If you have a character card in your hand that has the same title as a character you have assigned to the current mission (even if it has a different subtitle), you may discard it from your hand. The assigned character gets skills +1 until the end of the current mission.

You may boost the same character more than once during the same mission.
