Attacks are direct effects inflicted by nemeses onto the players during the nemesis phase. Attacks cannot be prevented, unless by specific Breach Mage abilities. Attacks may target every player, or just one.
Rules[]
- The attack effect is resolved immediately after played, and then discarded to the nemesis discard pile.
- If the attack involves multiple effects, resolve each effect in order as written.
- If the attack card targets one player that meets some condition, but multiple players met that condition, the players may choose which single player with receive the attack effect.
- If an attack gives a choice between two effects and one effect cannot be resolved, the players must choose the other effect.
- If the effect(s) of an attack cannot be fully resolved, resolve as much of that effect as possible.
