Alchemist (50 HP · 2 starting CP · single release)

A brew-and-burst engineer: load Potions onto your abilities, then spend them for extra punch. Transmute is the reliable core hit; fish for crucibles to fire Catalyst and the Chemical Trip! ultimate. Each Upkeep she banks a Potion and can re-roll a die by spending one, so she keeps finding her combo, and Punchify potions add +2 to attacks. Passivation prevents no damage, so she leans on Bolsterate, not blocking.

Artificer (50 HP · 2 starting CP · season 2)

An engineer who wins by building robots, not rolling big. Spanner Strike is the basic hit; Eureka (2 wrenches + 3 gears) is your bread-and-butter and banks Synth. Spend Synth to build Bots — Shock Bot adds damage, Heal Bot is your real defense — and fire them free with Overclock or the Maximum Power! ultimate while Nanites tick the enemy down. Ratchet Up blocks nothing, so the Bots are your armor.

Connected: Engine, Eureka, Jolt, Maximum Power!, nanite, Overclock, Ratchet Up, Schematics, season 2, Spanner Strike, synth, Zapppp!

Barbarian (50 HP · 2 starting CP · season 1 rerolled)

Pure aggression with a stun engine on top. Smack is your bread and butter — three swords cash in almost every turn — while Crit Bash and Rage! stun the opponent and chain you straight into bonus attack phases. Bank Fortitude heals on heart-heavy turns to outlast faster kits. He has no real damage prevention, so races are won by hitting harder, not by defending.

Black Panther (50 HP · 2 starting CP · marvel)

A counter-puncher who turns the damage he takes into fuel. Vibranium Claws is the scaling core attack; fish for panthers to fire Ancestral Power and the Wakanda Forever! ultimate. Every hit he absorbs gives Kinetic Energy — each 2 tokens add +1 to attacks, and 8 unleashes a free 5-damage burst — while the Vibranium Suit blocks 3. He's happy to trade blows, since your damage just charges him up.

Black Widow (50 HP · 2 starting CP · marvel)

A spy who snowballs by stacking Ability Upgrades into play, making every attack hit harder. Baton Strike is her scaling core hit; fish for widows to fire Grapple and the Widow's Bite! ultimate, which tutors two upgrades at once. Plant Time Bombs that blow up for 4 later, spend Covert Ops to dig upgrades, and dodge with Agility. She starts soft, so the longer the game runs, the scarier she gets.

A squad leader who wins by stacking tokens and marking targets. Hand to Hand is the scaling core attack; fish for blasts to fire Strafe and the Optic Blast! ultimate.

Deadpool (50 HP · 2 starting CP · marvel)

Finger Guns (four pews) is a strong core attack; fish for masks to fire Merc with a Mouth and the Fourth Wall! ultimate (14 damage). Win Rock-Paper-Scissors to add damage or block, and swap dice with Onomatopoeia — several attacks are pure, so they skip defense entirely. Mutant Healing only heals 1, so he out-hits rather than defends.

Doctor Strange (50 HP · 2 starting CP · marvel)

Ferocity is your core claw attack; fish for leaves to fire Protect the Forest and the Wrath of Nature! ultimate.

A crafter who wins by mining Ore and building Armor to grind you out. Pick Axe is the scaling core attack; fish for anvils to fire Smelting Time and the Final Touches! ultimate (14 damage).

A charged-up gambler who powers Ace Cards, then Explodes them for bonus damage. Bo Staff is the scaling core attack; fish for supercharge faces to fire Ragin' Cajun and the Le Diable Blanc! ultimate.

Fireball is the core hit and builds a token; fish for explosions to fire Ignite (4 + 2 per Fire Mastery) and the Scorch the Earth! ultimate.

A four-in-a-row roll banks 2 Ice Shards in The Freezer, inflicts Dice Cube, and deals 6 damage. Its Glide Path connects to Hail the King.

Connected: Iceman, Normal dmg, Offensive Ability, Small Straight

The Cure

Utility roll: gain a Moon Shard and 1 CP, draw a card, and heal 3 — no damage, all tempo and moon-shard buildup.

Connected: Offensive Ability, Pale Lady, Symbol count

The Hunt

Inflicts a Prey token, then deals 6 damage.

Connected: Normal dmg, Offensive Ability, Pale Lady, Symbol count

Thick Hide

Defensive ability: roll 2 dice (4 while in Bear Form), dealing 1 retaliation damage per claw; in Bear Form it also prevents 1 damage per paw and 1 per leaf rolled.

Connected: Defensive Ability, Druid, Normal dmg

Thick Skin

When attacked, roll 3 dice and heal 2 health for every heart — recovery rather than damage prevention.

Connected: Barbarian, Defensive Ability

Thunder Bolt

A large straight lets you Throw or Retrieve Mjölnir, gain 2 Electrokinesis, and deal 10 damage.

Connected: Large Straight, Normal dmg, Offensive Ability, Thor

Thunder Wheel

When attacked, roll 3 dice: hammer pairs Throw/Retrieve Mjölnir, each thunder grants Electrokinesis, and you prevent 2 incoming damage per worthy rolled. (Modeled as recovery of 2 per worthy over 3 dice — mechanically this is damage prevention, not healing.)

Connected: Defensive Ability, Thor

Thunderstorm

Gains 2 Lightning and deals 7 damage. Charged Effect: gain 2 Tornado.

Connected: Normal dmg, Offensive Ability, Storm, Symbol count

Tip the Scale

When attacked, roll 1 die for value rather than prevention: scepter inflicts Spellbound, illusion grants Bag of Tricks, lies draws a card, and mischief grants Illusion. It generates tokens but does not itself reduce incoming damage — Loki's real mitigation is spending Illusion tokens (see notes).

Connected: Defensive Ability, Loki

Transcendence!

The ultimate: gain Evasive and Cleanse, knock the target down, deal 10 damage, then raise the Chi stack limit by 1 and bank 6 Chi.

Connected: Monk, Symbol count, Ultimate Ability, Ultimate dmg

Transmute

Her core attack: gains a Combat Point and deals 6 damage.

Connected: Alchemist, Normal dmg, Offensive Ability, Symbol count

Basic attack that scales with axes rolled: 3, 4, or 5 axes deal 4, 6, or 8 damage.

Connected: Normal dmg, Offensive Ability, Santa, Symbol count

Triple Threat

Deal 6 damage, then roll 2 dice: slashes add 1 damage each, Vibraniums each grant 2 Kinetic Energy, and a Panther draws a card.

Connected: Black Panther, Normal dmg, Offensive Ability, Symbol count

Triumphant

A four-in-a-row deals 6 damage, then rolls one die: add 1/2/3 damage on a blade/wing/cross, or make the entire attack undefendable on a pendant.

Connected: Normal dmg, Offensive Ability, Seraph, Small Straight

Universal Awareness

Pure engine turn: draw a card, gain Déjà Vu plus 2 Premonition tokens, and Prepare a Spell out of the discard pile onto the Book of Vishanti.

Connected: Doctor Strange, Offensive Ability, Symbol count

Unleash the Beast!

The ultimate: gain 2 Moon Shards, then flip to the Werewolf board and immediately fire the Werewolf's ultimate — netting a Moon Shard gain, Prey plus 2 Bleed, and 13 damage, and the flip's first Moon Shard removal is skipped.

Connected: Pale Lady, Symbol count, Ultimate Ability, Ultimate dmg

Vengeance

All five dice in sequence: she gains Agility, deals 7 damage, then rolls 4 more dice — each baton adds 1 damage, any espionage plants a Time Bomb, and a pair of widow faces earns a Covert Ops token.

Connected: Black Widow, Large Straight, Normal dmg, Offensive Ability

Vengeance

When attacked, rolls 3 dice and claws back 1 damage per claw at the attacker, gaining a Rage token for each mask rolled.

Connected: Defensive Ability, Normal dmg, Wolverine

Wakanda Forever!

The ultimate: gain a Vibranium Suit and 3 Kinetic Energy, then deal 11 damage.

Connected: Black Panther, Symbol count, Ultimate Ability, Ultimate dmg

Wake the Forest!

The ultimate: you (and a chosen teammate) gain Wellspring, grow 5 Spirits, inflict Barbed Vine, then deal 10 damage that opponents can only respond to by altering the dice.

Connected: Symbol count, Treant, Ultimate Ability, Ultimate dmg

Wakizashi

Gain a Back Strike token, then deal 3 undefendable damage.

Connected: Offensive Ability, Samurai, Symbol count, Undefendable dmg

Walk the Line

Roll 2 dice and deal damage equal to their total; if that total is 6 or less, the attack becomes undefendable.

Connected: Ninja, Normal dmg, Offensive Ability, Symbol count

Walk the Plank

Choose one: steal 1 Combat Point from the opponent, or make them discard a card of their choice — then deal 7 damage.

Connected: Cursed Pirate, Offensive Ability, Symbol count, Undefendable dmg

Zapppp!

All five dice in sequence apply a Nanite and deal 9 damage, then activate any one built Bot for free (its damage joins this attack).

Connected: Artificer, Large Straight, Normal dmg, Offensive Ability

Defensive Roll

If the attack's damage is defendable, the defender rolls their Defensive Ability once. Then everything — damage, prevention, retribution — resolves simultaneously; if both players hit 0 together, the game is a draw.

Connected: armor, combo, crimson bands, focus-fire, illusion, infiltration, Main 2, radiance, Roll Phase Action, skyward, stun, Targeting Roll, wind-shear

Discard

End of turn: sell down to a hand of 6. Every card sells for exactly 1 CP no matter what it cost to play — no other actions allowed here.

Connected: Main 2, Upkeep

Income

Gain 1 CP and draw 1 card. One famous exception every tournament player knows: the Start Player skips their very first Income Phase.

Connected: alpha, concussion, Main 1, premonition, Upkeep

Main 1

Play Hero Upgrade cards and blue Main Phase Action cards, and sell unwanted cards for 1 CP each — in any order, as many times as you like.

Connected: Hero Upgrade, Income, Main Phase Action, Offensive Roll

Main 2

A second Main Phase, identical to the first — a favorite spot to spend CP earned during the fight.

Connected: Defensive Roll, Discard, Hero Upgrade, Main Phase Action

Offensive Roll

Up to 3 Roll Attempts chasing an ability's Activation Requirement. You may activate at most one Offensive Ability — and choosing not to attack into a strong defense is a real strategy. Opponents can alter your dice before activation; that is also the ONLY way to stop an Ultimate.

Connected: knockdown, Main 1, Roll Phase Action, Targeting Roll

Targeting Roll

Only exists with three or more players: a die roll decides which opponent your attack targets. In 1v1 — Jake's tournament format — this phase is skipped entirely.

Connected: Defensive Roll, Offensive Roll, Roll Phase Action

Upkeep

The turn begins here: resolve anything that triggers "during your Upkeep" — Burn ticks, Poison bites, engine passives. With multiple effects the active player picks the order; all damage lands together at the phase's end.

Connected: bag of tricks, bleed, burn, cosmic-flare, cursed doubloon, disarm, Discard, disruption, donut, dreadful, fire-mastery, holy-presence, Income, moonShard, nanite, phoenix burn, poison, powder keg, regenerate, time bomb, wound

Avoidable

The damage can be reduced, prevented, avoided, or interrupted by cards and/or status effects. Every damage type except Ultimate is Avoidable.

Connected: Collateral dmg, Normal dmg, Pure dmg, Undefendable dmg

Collateral dmg

Undefendable, not Modifiable, and carries special targeting rules written on the ability or card. It does not count as an Attack — so it never triggers a Defensive Ability. Dealt to a team simultaneously, it stacks against the shared Health dial.

Connected: Avoidable, Bad Tidings, Burning Soul, Carpet Bomb, Mighty Summon, Special Targeting

Defendable

If the damage comes from an opponent's Offensive Ability, the defender may perform their Defensive Ability. Only Normal damage carries this attribute.

Connected: Normal dmg

Defensive Ability

Activated when you are Attacked with defendable damage — a single Roll Attempt with the dice printed on the ability. If a hero has two, they pick one before rolling.

Connected: Ahoy Matey, Angelic Mantle, Bashenga's Honor, Clandestine, Cloak of Levitation, Counter Strike, Countermeasures, Counterpunch, Creole Crusader, Deviled Eggs, Divine Defense, Double Trouble, Duel, Duplicate, Egg Noggin' It, Energy Refraction, Hallowed Reckoning, Harness the Light, Immortal Flesh, Masterwork, Maternal Bond, Missed Me, Molten Armor, Mutant Healing +22 more

Hero Upgrade

Permanently upgrades the same-named space on your Hero Board (Level II/III; upgrading II→III pays only the difference). Cannot be sold once played.

Connected: Main 1, Main 2

Instant Action (playable during any phase)

Red border. Playable at ANY time during any player's turn, may interrupt any other action or ability (except other Instants), and resolves immediately. Spending a status effect counts as an Instant Action.

Large Straight

5 sequential face values (1-2-3-4-5 or 2-3-4-5-6) — the hardest standard requirement in the game, reserved for haymakers.

Connected: Archangel's Will, Assault, Beguile, Blinding Shot, Blood Magic, Call of the Wild, Exploit, Fan the Hammer, Fiesta, Fist of Tranquility, Forest's Answer, Hoarfrost, Ignite, Insidious Strike, Kneel to Me, Light Torpedo, Masamune, Reckless, Reindeer Games, Rejection, Shadow Fang, Sun Beam, Thunder Bolt, Vengeance +1 more

Main Phase Action

Blue border. Playable only on your own turn during Main Phase 1 or 2. Unlike Instants, these CAN be interrupted.

Connected: Main 1, Main 2

Modifiable

The damage can be improved with Attack Modifiers. Damage added by a modifier is always the same type as the base damage.

Connected: Normal dmg, Ultimate dmg, Undefendable dmg

Normal dmg

The most common damage type — a black number followed by "dmg". Defendable (your Defensive Ability may activate), Avoidable (cards and status effects can reduce or prevent it), and Modifiable (Attack Modifiers can improve it). No special targeting rules.

Pure dmg

A stricter kind of undefendable damage: not Defendable and not Modifiable (no Attack Modifiers). Its one weakness: it remains Avoidable with cards and status effects.

Connected: Avoidable, Donut Hole, Inner Light, Mind Blast, Psychic Multiplier, Shadow Dance

Roll Phase Action

Orange border. Playable during any player's Offensive, Targeting, or Defensive Roll Phase — the dice-manipulation weapons. Cannot be interrupted.

Connected: Defensive Roll, Offensive Roll, Targeting Roll

Small Straight

Any 4 sequential face values (1-2-3-4, 2-3-4-5, or 3-4-5-6). Keep exactly one of each middle value when fishing for it.

Special Targeting

Who receives the damage is specified in the ability or card description — no Targeting Roll Phase happens. Only Collateral damage carries this.

Connected: Collateral dmg

Symbol count

Requires a number of matching custom symbols across your 5 dice (e.g. 3 Bullets). The bread-and-butter requirement of most Offensive Abilities, including every hero's five-of-a-kind Ultimate.

Ultimate dmg

Damage dealt by an Ultimate Ability. Not Defendable and not Avoidable — once an Ultimate activates, no card, status effect, or Companion can respond. It is Modifiable, but may only ever be increased, never decreased.

Connected: All-Seeing Eye!, Assassinate!, Berserker Rage!, Binary Blast!, Chemical Trip!, Comfort and Joy!, Discomfort and Pain!, Dreadful Charge!, Exsanguinate!, Fantastic Terrors!, Fill 'Em With Lead!, Final Touches!, For Asgard!, Fourth Wall!, Glorious Purpose!, High Altitude!, Higher Ground!, Ice Storm!, Jungle Fury!, Le Diable Blanc!, Lunar Eclipse!, Master of the Blade!, Maximum Power!, Modifiable +21 more
