A support for option A is that this is covered by the golden rule and the card clearly tells the person activating the card to put it on the top of his deck which contradicts the rulebook. One of the effects that can be selected reads:Ī: indeed put it on the top of his deck (the controller)ī: put it on the top of my deck (the owner)Ī support for option B is that the rules (p.25) talk about control and ownership and says that 'when a card leaves play, it reverts to its owner's hand, deck or discard pile'. When that player triggers the 'Action:' on the card he may select 2 of the listed effects. I can play it on another player's hero and that player then controls (but doesn't own) the card. The card Miruvor is an attachment that is played on a hero. In the meantime, please play the scenario as if the last line of Dark Pit reads 'This effect supersedes the game text on Durin's Bane.' That card will receive an erratum in the next FAQ to explain that its ability supersedes the game text on Durin's Bane, making it possible for players to defeat the scenario the way it was intended. This does create a problem with the text on Dark Pit. This would obviously be absurd as DP appears to be the way that the quest requires you to overcome Durin's Bane.ĭurin's Bane cannot leave the staging area, so O Elbereth! Gilthonial! will not send it to the bottom of the encounter deck. However, the same reasoning suggests that Dark Pit will not work on Durin's Bane, as it 'discards DB from play' (= 'leaving the staging area). I presume this means that O Elbereth Gilthoniel will not work on Durin's Bane (since putting DB on the bottom of the encounter deck would involve it 'leaving the staging area').

The optimal way to play Heavy Stroke would be to apply all 3 of Aragron's attack plus 1 of Dwalin's to beating the enemy's defensse, then Dwalin would deal 1 damage to the enemy that could be double with Heavy Stroke for a total of 2.ĭurin's Bane 'cannot leave the staging area'

Just to clarify it further, let's say Aragorn and Dwalin were attacking an enemy with 4 defense. So Aragorn is dealing 2 damage to the enemy and Dwalin is also dealing 2 damage, at which point you play Heavy Stroke to double Dwalin's damage and make it 4 for a total of 6 damage dealt to the enemy. In your example, the optimal way to play Heavy Stroke would be to apply Aragorn's attack 3 to the enemy's 1 defense. The way Heavy Stroke is intended to work depends on allowing players to choose which character's attack value is applied to the enemy's defense value. Like if you have Aragorn and Dwalin attacking a 1 Defence Monster with 5 Health….Īrragon (3) + Dwalin (2) = 5 -1(Defence ) = 4 dmg + Heavy Stroke (double dmg) = 8 dmg TotalĪragorn (3) + Dwalin (2) = 5-1 Defence = 4 dmg + Heavy Stroke (Dwalin 2 -1 = 1 dmg doubled (2) ) = 6 Dmg total? did the card mean to say 'an attack that a dwarf participates in' or dose it mean the dmg the target dwarf makes IN an attack.

And yes, if the game is 'foolish' enough to launch an attack during staging and open up action windows, the players can take full advantage of those action windows as they see fit. That said, it is worth specifying that Shadow cards should be dealt for enemies that attack outside the combat phase, so thanks for bringing it up - I'll put it on the FAQ list. (If an enemy has a face down shadow card, it still needs to resolve its attack.) Of course, this breaks down when the encounter deck empties mid shadow phase, but in most cases it serves its purpose, particularly early in most players' games, when they are still learning the basic mechanics - it amounts to one less 'memory issue' and stumbling point in those early experiences.

The main reason that Shadow cards are dealt at the beginning of the combat phase is that they serve as a convenient means of portraying which enemies have yet to act when combat is being resolved.

The reads, 'when resolving enemy attacks, follow these four steps.' The main issue I see with that interpretation is that it is conflating the resolution of an attack with the act itself, and making the jump to the conclusion that anything that does not happen during the resolution of an attack (such as the dealing of a Shadow card) is not a part of the attack. Shadow cards should be dealt during attacks made outside of the combat phase.
