Determining the Winner

Once both players have passed consecutively on the opportunity to perform a combat action, it is time to determine the winner.

The attacker reveals the top card of his deck. (If he has no cards in his deck remaining, he loses the game.) He adds the combat bonus number on that card to his total accuracy in the combat, then discards the card.

Now compare the total accuracy to the total speed. If the total accuracy is higher, the attacker wins the combat. If the total speed is higher, the defender wins.

The card revealed for its combat bonus will appear on screen, with the combat bonus number displayed prominently on its image. You may click the card to dismiss it, or wait a few seconds for it to be dismissed automatically.

Jason now reveals the top card of his deck. Its combat bonus is 25, which he adds to his total accuracy, bringing it to 85. He then discards the card. Jason’s total accuracy of 85 is higher than Tyler’s total speed of 50, so Jason wins the combat.
