Attack: Disadvantage

menu
Placeholder

An attacker with Disadvantage will draw two modifier cards from their deck and use whichever one is worse (d).

Rolling modifiers are disregarded in the case of Disadvantage (e).

Placeholder
Placeholder

If two rolling modifier cards were drawn, continue to draw cards until a rolling modifier is not played and then only apply the effect of the last card drawn (f).

If there is ambiguity about which card drawn is better or worse, use whichever card was drawn first.

Ambiguity can occur when comparing one or more added effects provided by attack modifier cards (e.g., elemental infusions, negative conditions, etc.)

All added effects should be considered to have a positive but undefined numerical value.

Instances of Advantage or Disadvantage don’t stack, and if an attack has instances of both Advantage and Disadvantage, they cancel out each other and the attack is performed normally.

Instances of Advantage and Disadvantage are mostly gained by specific character or monster abilities. However, any ranged attack targeting an adjacent enemy also gains Disadvantage for that target.
