Block

Enemy units in the same area as this unit cannot

exit of this area or claim an Omphalos. Other units
with Block ignore this effect.

Bolster
Friendly troops in the same area as this unit gain a +1
bonus to Attack and Defense.

Climb
This unit may enter and move through areas with
difficult terrain, such as impassable terrain and cliffs.

terrain piece (a tree or ruin), you may remove that piece

Guard

Leader
At the end of this units activation, you may choose a
friendly troop in the same area. Its owner searches his
or her deck for an activation card for that unit and adds
it to his or her hand. The unit is immediately activated.
This extra activation does not require a Tactic card.

Mighty Throw
Whenever this unit attacks, you may set aside up to 2
blank faces from your first roll to throw the defending
unit. Throwing troops and Heroes only requires setting
aside 1 blank face, while throwing Monsters and Gods
requires setting aside 2.
At the end of the attack, if enough blank faces have
been set aside to throw the defending unit, move it
to an area adjacent to its starting area. Thrown units
carrying an Omphalos drop it in their starting area.

Phalanx

If a friendly unit in the same area as this unit is attacked,

you may change the target of the attack to this unit.

This unit gains a +1 bonus to Attack and Defense as

long as it is in the same area as a complete friendly
troop.

Initiative

Torment

When this unit is attacked, it retaliates before the

attacker resolves his attack. After this unit retaliates, the
attacker must still be within range to perform his attack.
Other units with Initiative ignore this effect.

Special Powers
Special Attacks are performed thanks to a
Power. The Special Attack replaces the simple
attack action during the units activation.

Each time this unit performs a melee attack, the

defending unit suffers a -1 penalty to Defense until the
end of the attack.

Special Units

can perform an Evade tactic.

Active Powers can only be used on the units

turn.
Passive Powers can be used anytime whether
it is the units turn or not, and do not require
Tactic cards.
Instant Powers can be used anytime whether
It is the units turn or not, and are activated by
spending a Tactic card.

Aquatic Units: Ignore all effects and

restrictions on aquatic areas (Attack,
Defense and Movement penalties), and
gain a +1 bonus to Movement as long as
the aquatic unit remains (starts and ends
its activation) in an aquatic area.
