K I recently got the drums of war expansion, and I pretty much got most of the rules down. There is just a few things I need help on.

1st- When a ally attacks and another with lets say 3 atk and defense 5, the opponent has 2 atk and 3 defense. I know it kills the 3 defense but it takes 2 atk damage, does it keep that damage the rest of the game or does it gain it back when it rest?

2nd-Can u use abilities even if you do not have a weapon out on the field?

3rd-Sort of like magic, when u bring an ally on the field. Can it atk first thing or does it have to wait one turn?

K sorry for asking, I just couldnt figure these out in the rule book, thanks.

Hey! Welcome to the Game!

1) Allies have ATK and Health, and Damage is always counted up (not health down).  So when an ally has damage on it greater than or equal to its health, it is destroyed.  If an ability deals damage, or an ally deals damage the damage stays on until it is healed or the ally changes zones.

2) You can use abilities whenever you want (assuming they are instant, or it is your turn, or you have the correct amount of ready resources)

3) Allies cannot exhaust to attack or use powers that require them to exhaust (on the turn you play them).  Allies with the Ferocity keyword can attack immediately.

Hope that helps!

1) There is no thing called defense in this game, but what you're referring to is a character's health. When the ally with 3 health recieves 3 damage, it gets destroyed by fatal damage. The ally with 5 health will recieve 2 damage, and that damage will be there until healed.

2) Playing abilites does not require having a weapon on play.

3) Most allies must have been in your party continuosly since the beginning of your most recent turn. Allies with the Ferocity keyword, however, can attack right away, without having to wait.
