Defense Response on Attack Phase
During this action, you can choose between block using a shield (if you have one), using your weapon (if you have one), using a defense ability from your hand (if you have one) or by just not blocking. If you don't block the attack, the damage will be stopped by your armor (if you have one). Neither the armor, or the shield, can absorb the damage completely, so if your defense can't reduce the entire attack, you will receive the rest of the damage points.
Attack solving
The attack solving system is actually pretty simple. Every item has a certain number of power points and resistance points.
Once the item has no more resistance points, it is automatically removed from the game. Items can lose defense points either by defense retaliation or by an ability/spell effect.
During an attack, the item that block the attack loses the amount of resistance from the weapon's power point, and if the blocking item has power points, the attacking weapon will also loses that amount of points on it's resistance.
If the weapon states that it does not receive defense retaliation, no matter what the defender does, the weapon does not lose any resistance points.
Options to block a weapon attack
Defensive response can vary according to what item is blocking or defense abilities/spells the defender might use.
Weapon blocking weapon attack: The attack is completely absorbed by the blocking weapon. The defender can only use this option if he/she has a weapon on the playfield.
Shield blocking weapon attack: The attack is reduced, but not completely absorbed. if the shield do not reduce all the attack, the remind of it goes to the armor. If the defender is not wearing armor, it goes to his life points. The defender can only use this option if he has a shield on the playfield.
Spell/Ability blocking weapon attack: When the defender chooses to use a defensive spell or ability, the attack can vary according to that card effect. If after the effect there is still damage to be taken, the damage goes to the armor. The weapon or and shield from the defender do not get in the way of this action.
Armor blocking weapon attack:When the defender is wearing armor, any damage that he/she would take will go to the armor instead. The damage dealt to the armor is also not completely absorbed. If the damage taken is higher then the armor defense, the remainder of the attack goes to the defender's life point.
Defense abilities/spells against attack or usage abilities/spells
Defense abilities or spells can be used to interrupt any usage ability/spell or attack ability/spell. There are many types of defenses, from simply reducing damage to completely counter the effect. To use it all you have to do is drag it to the playfield when prompted. Make sure you have the right class on the playfield,
otherwise the game won't let you use it.
