Introduction[]

Most cards in Tyrant have one or more Skills, which are special abilities beyond the card's attack strength and health.

The "turns" mentioned inside the skill descriptions, accords to the in-game turns, which a player must deplete the opponent's health within the 50 turn limit. Many skills and ailment statuses last until the affected assault's turn ends, that is, 1 turn if the skill is paybacked, or 2 turns otherwise.

Other than 1-turn skills like Rally, 2-turn skills like Weaken, instant skills like Heal, permanent skills like Poison and passive skills like Flying, a few exceptions like Enfeeble exist, in which Enfeeble doesn't carry on to opponent's turn.

Activation[]

Activation skills work during the card's turn. Units activate in this order:

  1. Action Cards
  2. Commander Cards
  3. Structure Cards
  4. Assault Cards

An Assault card's Activation skills trigger before it attacks. However, each card attacks before the cards to its right begin their turns.

If the timer on a card is still running, its Activation skills do not trigger.

Some Activation skills have Type restrictions. This means that only units of a certain Type will be "visible" to the skill. If there are no visible targets the skill does nothing that turn.

Some Activation skills have the word All. This means that instead of targeting a single random unit it will target every unit that is visible to the skill.

Activation skills that work on enemies are subject to the Evade, Chaos and Payback skill. All activation skills that work on allies are subject to Tribute by your own cards and Emulate by your opponents cards. All Activation skills are subject to the Mimic skill, with a few exceptions (Mimic, Split). Rules in this paragraph apply unless otherwise explained.

Skill Major Users Description Notes

TSkillIconChaos Chaos[]

XenoRaider If an enemy Assault unit were to use an activation skill that would target one of its enemies, it targets its ally instead. (The skills used by a Chaosed unit cannot be evaded).
  • Chaos only targes assaults not jammed, chaosed and ready to attack.
  • Chaosed units can still be Jammed, that way Chaos does no effect.
  • Only offensive activation skills (Strike, Siege, Enfeeble, Jam, Mimic, Weaken, and Chaos) are affected.
  • Chaos can target opponents without any offensive activation skills (thus rendering it useless)
  • Target all skills will be unchanged, like Strike All (Thus targetting all its allies).
  • Faction restrictions of individual skills still apply. For example, target for Chaosed Strike Xeno 3 is still restricted to Xeno units only.
  • Chaos status fades when the chaosed assault finishes its activation skill(s).
  • Paybacked chaos can only affect the activation skills at that paybacked turn, for example, If a Pulsifier chaoses a payback assault, is paybacked a chaos, its following mimic will target its ally, but the chaos is removed after the mimic.

Skill modifier[]

Skill Major Users Description Notes

On Death[]

TAll Icon

(No official description)

The skill with this suffix will only be performed when the assault reaches 0 health.

  • Currently only available along with activation skills.
  • Skills with this suffix will not be target of Mimic.
  • Skills with this suffix will be performed even if the assault regenerates.
  • Activation skills with this suffix will be affected by Chaos and Jam.
  • Skills with this suffix will activate after Leech, and before any Regenerate.
  • Skill with this suffix will not activate payback, since Regenerate occurs after this skill, there is no target to payback even if it regenerates.

On Play[]

TAll Icon

(No official description)

The skill with this suffix will only be performed when the card is played, and the skill is treated as an action.

  • Since affected skills act as action, it takes the earliest order out of all cards on that turn. For example, Strike On Play will not be benefited from any enfeeble, but all damage toward enemies are benefited by Enfeeble On Play.
  • Currently only available along with activation skills.
  • Skills with this suffix will not be target of Mimic.
  • Skills with this suffix can trigger Payback and Tribute, since it has a source unit unlike a pure Action Card.
  • Skills with this suffix cannot be affect by chaos, since assaults cannot be chaos when newly played.

On Play On Death[]

TAll Icon

(No official description)

The skill with this suffix will change to two skills instead, one with On Play suffix and one with On Death suffix.

On Attacked[]

TAll Icon

(No official description)

The skill with this suffix will only be performed when the card takes direct attack.

  • Currently only available along with activation skills and damage dependent skills.
  • Skills with this suffix will not be triggered by other skills like Strike, Crush or Shock.
  • Assault skills with this suffix will not trigger if Flying or Fear activates.
  • Skills with this suffix will not be target of Mimic.
  • Skills with this suffix will activate even if the card is killed by direct attack, however, in this case the skill will not target itself, which is similar to On Death suffix skills.
  • Skills with this suffix will activate even if the attack does no damage due to Armored or Protect.
  • Skills with this suffix will activate before Counter.
  • Damage dependent skills with this suffix cannot be affected, which act like defensive skills and always affect the attacker or defender itself.
  • Activation skills with this suffix act as normal activation skills, subject to tribute, payback, jam and chaos.

Extra info[]

Here are some less known facts and experimental results of the skills. Because they are hard to encounter and be used, they are extracted here.

Activation skills[]

  • Other than the basic rules of activation skills, like heal must target an assault without full health, the target(s) is/are selected completely randomly, for single target skills. These skills have no preference on Evade, Protect or any factor other than basic rules.
  • Until now, all supply, siege, repair on cards are targeting all factions. All other activation skills have their respective faction bound alternatives. Split targets the assault itself only.
  • If an assault is already weakened to 0 attack, the following acting cards will not attempt to weaken it. Examples include Cannon Walker versus Dracorex, in which only Actions or On Play skills (acts even quicker than Commander) can weaken the Cannon Walker to negative attack.
  • Assaults weakened to 0 or lower attack will be target of any rally, while immobilized ones will not be.
  • While no card consists of two skills of the same name (like Strike 1 twice), a few skills can cause other skills to be performed multiple times a turn, like Flurry (multiple Damage-dependent) and Mimic (extra Activation). Meanwhile, defensive skills are triggered much more frequently.
  • Unsuccessful Jam attempts will not show any animation, evade and payback are never triggered in the case.
  • An assault with Cleanse is not effectively immune to statuses, even one with Cleanse All is prone to "when attacked" skills.

Payback related problems[]

  • The probabilities of 50% proc stack (are multiplied) for each process. For example, if Stealth Niaq tries to Jam a no-evade payback assault, the jam has 50% proc, the paybacked jam has one eighth (Jam + Payback + Evade) chance of success.
  • Paybacked and Chaosed Enfeeble are the only ways where Cleanse can remove the enfeeble status on an ally assault.
  • As of activation skill standards, Payback can only activated in following limits: Jam - Once per turn, Weaken - Only if not Jammed or Immobilized, as long as attack doesn't go zero or lower, Strike - As long as assault doesn't die, Enfeeble - No limit.
  • Payback will trigger even if the assault is targeted by Strike, but the damage is totally blocked for having Protect on it, exceeding the strike (and possible enfeeble) magnitude.

Mimic related problems[]

  • When mimic targets a payback assault without activation skills, the mimic will do nothing. However if a mimic assault copies any harmful activation skill, and that activation skill acts onto the payback assault, the copied skill will be paybacked, although the probability is lower than directly using other activation skills on the payback assault.
  • When a mimic assault is chaosed, it will attempt to copy skills from an allied assault, ignoring its evade and having the chance to even mimic itself. All the available activation skills, helpful and harmful ones are copied. However, all skills will act onto the allied assaults, the more helpful skills the copied assault have, the better is the result to the chaos-affected side and the less effective to the chaos-using side. An example is a Xeno Mothership being mimicked, dealing Strike 2 to its side but getting Rally All 2 (Mimic ignores faction limit), which is mostly beneficial to chaosed-affected side. The harmful skills copied by this chaosed mimic still penetrates all evade of the allied assaults.
  • This chaosed mimic if copied any skill, will ignore faction limit, but the chaosed mimic itself is faction-bound, like in a Xeno only deck, if a Speculus is chaosed, the mimic is nullified.
  • Mimicked harmful skills does not trigger Tribute, as other skills when affected by Chaos.

Chaos related problems[]

  • If an assault is chaosed, all its activation skills will target the allies of it, contrast to targeting enemies for harmful skills. As such, all rules regarding these skills apply, like Jam not targeting already jammed allies. Because the assault is already chaosed, it will not target itself if it uses chaos skill.
  • None of obtainable cards have harmful skills that target their own faction only (e.g. No righteous card exists with Strike Righteous) This means, chaos on an assault with faction-bound harmful skills (like strike imperial 1) will only nullify the skill if the victim deck is a mono. Some assaults in Gore Typhon (Raid) are the exception, will harm their own cards, but are not obtainable.
  • If an assault is chaosed, and Jams itself before its other activation skills are used, further skills are terminated as well as the attack, an example is Nimbus, in which it will not weaken its allies if it Jams itself after it is chaosed.

Valor related problems[]

  • In very rare cases, if a valor assault attacks, the opposing side has more assaults than the attacker side, but there is no opposing assault to the valor one (mainly caused by Strike or Strike All, or Avatar's flurry), this skill still procs, and will deal extra damage to structures or commander if available.
  • Another case is Valor and Fear combination, where Valor may proc even if this assault is not attacking the opposite assault at all.

Enfeeble related problems[]

  • Enfeeble only lasts one turn, regardless of normal enfeeble, on attack, on play or on death. When enfeeble is applied on any enemy turn, it fades at the end of that turn, and can only enhance damage for counter damage from your cards, chaosed strike towards enemies, and paybacked strike damage towards enemies.
  • Enfeeble acts opposite to Protect in effect, but do not cancel out each other by removing both statuses. Cleanse can remove all Enfeeble, while Protect is not affected at all.
