• Redemption will inflict damage to a monster's armor if they have it, instead of their health points.
• When the Redemption ability is activated, it will inflict one damage to all enemy monsters without any interruptions. That means, if the Redemption ability was to kill a monster, that monster won't die until all other monsters were to be inflicted by Redemption first.
  • In addition, if the Redemption ability kills a monster that has Redemption on the enemy team, their Redemption will trigger as soon as the first Redemption ends, but still without any interruptions. That means abilities like Scavenger won't activate until both Redemptions are completely over.

  • Let’s say monster A stuns monster B. The stun on monster B will last until monster A takes its next turn. At the very start of A’s next turn, monster B will become un-stunned, and the battle will proceed accordingly.

• The Trample ability is triggered based on the sequential order of the opponent's monster positions.
  • During the Sneak ruleset, Trample will not trigger when killing the monster in the last position. 
  • If the opponent has a camouflaged creature in play during the sneak ruleset and in the very back position where a sneak ability creature would usually attack, it is possible for a trample creature to attack the creature second to last instead, and then trample into the camouflaged creature, since the creature has nothing else to trample into (Since trample never works backward). 
  • When a monster with Trample kills the monster in the first position, but that monster gets resurrected, the Trample ability will target the monster in the opponent's second position. 
  • During the Opportunity ruleset, Trample will target the next lowest health monster that is behind the killed monster. If the monster is in the last position and killed, Trample will not trigger just like during the Sneak ruleset.
• If a monster has both the Trample and Retaliate ability, Trample will activate if a monster is killed by Retaliate. However, this only works if the monster with these two abilities is not killed when taking the attack.
