Card types
Hero cards
Heroes are the cornerstone of our game. When you play a Hero to the field they are initially “Exhausted” and cannot be immediately activated unless the card states otherwise. However, Heroes are prepared to block once your opponent’s turn starts. A Hero’s main purposes are Attacking and Defending against attacks but some have additional abilities and secondary uses so read carefully!
key components
Attack Stat
The base strength of a Hero when Attacking. Can modified with other cards.
Defense Stat
The base strength of a Hero when Defending. Can modified with other cards.
Special Ability
Some Heroes have Special Abilities listed in the center of the card.
Incada Stat
The primary purpose of Incada is determining how many Tools a Hero can equip. Secondarily it determines the base strength of a Hero when Grappling.
tool cards
Weapons, Armors, and Special Abilities that can be added to a Hero Card. Tools can change a Hero Card completely. In Challengers, just because a Hero is “average” doesn’t mean it will stay that way. Tools take effect the moment they are equipped and stay in effect until destroyed or the Hero they are equipped to is sent to the Infirmary.
