Questions and Answers
To conclude the manual, below are some questions that might arise during gameplay along with answers to help clarify things.
This list will be updated whenever possible with questions that I might receive from players.
-
How many copies of a specific card can I have?
You may have up to 3 copies of a card in your deck, unless it's a Mythical Cryptid, which you may only have 1 copy of per Mythical Cryptid.
-
Do Aura and Attack cards stack? Or is there a limit?
There is no limit to the number of Aura or Attack cards that you can equip to a monster. Make them as strong as you can if you like and give them an entire smorgasbord of moves to use.
-
Can I attack my own Cryptids?
Most often, no. However, if there is a card effect that says "target Cryptid does (such and such) to target Cryptid", you may use it on literally any Cryptid on the field (if any prerequisite conditions are fulfilled).
-
When a Support is damaged or debuffed, does that affect how much of its stats are granted to its Combatant?
Nope! Its granted stats are only affected by its death unless otherwise stated by a card effect.
-
Can I equip and use an Attack card on a Support?
Yes! Supports cannot usually initate basic attacks. But equipping an Attack card to a Support gives it the ability to attack (but this usually means those attacks cost a Pyre or require conditions based on the Attack card).
Any Cryptid that attacks must rest, even if it is a Support. -
If an Instance or card effect refers to "evolution conditions", does that refer to any Cryptid that can evolve?
Yes, evolution conditions refer to any and every Cryptid that is capable of evolution, even those without special requirements.
-
Do status ailments stack (like Calamity, Burn, etc.)?
Individually, they do not!
Cryptids with Calamity cannot gain more Calamity counters. Cryptids that are burned cannot be re-burned until the current burn status wears off. Same with paralysis and so on.
However, different status ailments can stack! A single Cryptid can be affected by Paralysis, Burn, Toxic, Calamity, and so on (the poor thing)! -
Do I still gain my default Pyre during my turn if I am out of cards to draw?
Yes, the action of drawing a card isn't what grants you your default Pyre every turn - It simply happens at the same time. So, if you can't draw a card, you still gain a Pyre at the same time you would have drawn a card at the start of your turn.
