Rules 2026-07-16Reviewed 2026-08-11

Objective

Show the information to review before resolving an authored combat state.

Before

Identify the location and participants

Two abstract armies are shown at the same Battlefield.

  • Location: one Battlefield
  • Attacking army: shown
  • Defending army: shown
The relevant public objects are isolated for review.
Action

Read each unit's Might

The example lists every participating unit and its displayed Might.

  • Attacking Might: listed by unit
  • Defending Might: listed by unit
Combat strength is separated from Energy and Power costs.
Resolution

Compare the authored totals

The shown values are totaled only for this fixed example, with no unlisted modifiers.

  • Attacking total: 6 Might
  • Defending total: 4 Might
  • Other effects: none
The example supplies a reviewed comparison rather than calculating a live game.
Why

Costs and combat answer different questions

Energy and Power help pay for a card; Might is the unit's combat strength in the shown fight.

  • Cost values: not used in this comparison
  • Combat value: Might
The three commonly confused values now have distinct jobs.
