Action | Minions

Each minion with his attack value equal or higher than 1 is capable of attacking. You can either aim the attack at the enemy card or against the hero. The permissible number of attacks is 1 per turn, unless the card has the Windfury in which case it may attack twice.

During the fight between minions, it does not matter which card attacks as the first one, because both of them deal damage equal to their attack value. The exception here are the attacks on the heroes. If a hero attacks a minion using hi s weapon, he will deal the damage equal to the value of the attack value of his weapon. If, however, a minion attacks a hero, he will inflict damage equal to his own attack value, without losing health himself. For example, if the River Crocolisk (2) is attacked by a hero with a weapon of the attack value of 3, he will be destroyed but, before he dies, he will inflict the damage of 2 pt. But, if the River Crocolisk (2) attacks the hero, he will deal the damage of 2 pt. and come out of that unscathed.

Some minions also have special abilities, which can be activated in the middle of the turn. For example, the Knife Juggler (2) card can perform one regular attack and inflict to the opponent's card, or hero, damage of 3 pt. Apart from that, he also has the ability that makes him capable of dealing 1 pt damage to a random enemy, each time the player summons another minion into the battlefield. Thanks to this, the card can perform a regular attack and deal additional damage thanks to his special ability.
