Add to Battle
Last Updated: N/A
Released: 8/15/2016 (v4.0.0)

General Description
An add to battle ability brings a card into the current battle and activates its special ability.

How to Play
An add to battle ability targets the cards that are to be brought into battle.
An add to battle ability is instantaneous.

Default Conditions
● Targets must be in a territory or in holder’s hand.
● Add to battle abilities target cards of the same alignment.
● Add to battle abilities can only add cards to a battle in which you are participating.
● Adding a card to battle causes the player on that side of the battle to control the card. If a different player
normally has Permanent Control of the card, the player on that side of the battle gains Temporary Control until the
card leaves battle.

Special Conditions
● A unique character can only enter the field of battle once per turn.
● When an add to battle ability adds multiple cards into battle, add them in any order and activate them one at a
time in the order the cards were added. Exception: Abilities that add other characters to battle activate after all other
abilities on cards added to battle.

Clarifications
● An add to battle ability is not a band ability unless it exclusively adds one or more characters to a side of the
battle where at least one other character of the same alignment is always present.
