Weapon-class enhancements
Weapon-class enhancements have a weapon symbol (one half (1/2) of a puzzle piece showing half a shield) below the icon box. A weapon-class enhancement can be held outside of battle by a warrior-class character of matching brigade. Warrior-class characters (Heroes or Evil Characters) have a weapon symbol (the other 1/2 of the puzzle piece showing the other 1/2 of the shield) below the icon box.
A weapon-class enhancement can be played in either of these ways:
• Played during battle as a regular enhancement and used by any character of matching brigade following the regular rules of initiative, OR
• Placed on a warrior-class character of matching brigade during the Preparation Phase or Discard Phase.
The abilities (*/*) on the weapon-class enhancement are active on the character while in battle or in a territory. The special ability on the weapon only activates when the character enters battle and only lasts for the duration of the battle unless specified otherwise.
If a weapon-class enhancement is played during battle on a character who is a warrior, then, following battle resolution when enhancements in battle are normally discarded, a player may decide to keep the weapon-class enhancement on the surviving warrior. If a weapon-class enhancement is played during battle on a character who is not a warrior, the enhancement is discarded after battle like any other enhancement.
If a warrior is discarded or captured, or returned to hand, all weapon cards on the character are discarded. If a warrior is converted, weapons remain on the character. The special ability on the weapon continues to function provided it does not conflict with the nature of a Hero or Evil Character.
Weapons may not be exchanged between characters and may only be moved to another character in battle if the holder of the weapon is defeated and another warrior-class character is in battle and able to hold the weapon.
