Combat

Combat is an integral part of any game and Enigma is no different.

Combat begins when an Encounter Card is drawn from the Mission Deck.

1. Reveal the Encounter Card(s) and place them on the table in front of the Players Cards.

-Attack order is determined by Initiative. Initiative is determined by a variety of factors for the Player Character but it is static unless an outside modifier is in effect for the Encounter Creature. The Encounter Cards initiative is located on the upper right corner. Whoever has the highest initiative goes first and so forth until all turns have been completed.

NOTE: Encounter Creatures first attack unless extremely quick or ambush will not go first. But by default, each Encounter Creature or EnC will attack the healer by default. It is the Tanks or in some cases the DPS responsibility to play a taunt card to get the EnC cards attention. This will draw the attack onto herself. After the healer is dead they will proceed to attack the DPS and finally Tank.

2. Each player draws 4 cards from her Action Deck.

- If an attack card is in the Players hand then that card can be played against any valid EnC until no Action Cards remain.

-REMEMBER. Roll the dice to see if the EnC can perform a block or other Action.

NOTE: Some Action cards provide Tactical Points. These Tactical Points can be used to play a Characters Ability Card if she chooses to do so.

NOTE: Defence cards unless specified are only used to block attacks from the EnC.

3. Each EnC has a list of Actions associated with their combat. A six-sided dice is required to simulate EnC combat.

-Roll the dice and read what Action is executed by the EnC. Remember always attack the Healer first then DPS unless taunted.

NOTE: If a Defence Action is rolled on the EnC Attack turn then the EnC does not get to attack this turn. This emulates the EnC not having an attack card in his hand.

-When an EnC is destroyed they are removed from the Combat Field into the graveyard.

4.  Combat continues until all EnC or all Players are killed.
