AttackYou can decide to attack a group of ennemies instead of taking them one by one.
You treat the group as one single token sharing all their individual resistances and adding their armor. (only for this attack).
In order to kill the group, you have to gather enough attack power to kill them all at once.
- Disadvantage 1 : the whole group benefis from each special resistance of each ennemy from the group.
- Disadvantage 2 : either you manage to kill the group in one big attack, either you don't kill anything.
- Advantage : no matter if your attacks comes from one single card or several cards / skills / units, the total just have to beat the group total Armor.
Example :
In order to attack them, you group 2 ennemies :
- Armor 2 with fire resistance, and
- Armor 6.
Now you are facing a group with Armor 8 with fire resistance. And your attack is going to kill the group, or do nothing.
- You could play cards : Attack 3 + Attack 5 = Attack 8. You kill the groupe. Note that with the exact same cards, you couldn't have killed them one by one.
- If you have only fire attacks, you need 8 of them 2 times = 16 Fire attack. (Because the group share special resistances).
- Like usual, any combination like : Attack 6 + Fire Attack 4 is enough to kill the group.
If you cannot gather enough Attack power kill the group at once, then they all survived. (In this case, you shouldn't have attack them as a group at all).
BlockOn the other hand, when you block, you cannot make groups and you have to block each ennemy one by one.
Remaining blocks are lost between each ennemy.
Example : you have 3 ennemies, each one has Attack 1. so you have to block 3 different Attack 1, it's not like blocking Attack 3.
If you play a block 5 card, it can only block an Attack 1. Then you have to deal the two remaining attack with other blocks, or take wounds from them.
Last thing, any group you make exist only during your attack, so you could for exemple :
- Make a group and kill it in Siege / Range Attack phase.
- Then block remaining ennemies in block phase.
- Then make another group and kill it Attack phase.
