Question for you: how exactly does the Tower work? When does it deal damage, and to who? Rulebook is a bit confusing here.

new hand

Makeshift Rambaster, Steam Tank, Chameleon Lizzo, Careless Musketeer

There is a very handy post regarding timing HERE under the “How does combat work when there are multiple abilities at play, like Overpower and Swift Strike? What happens when?” question.

Short Answer, tower damage happens at the same time as other combat damage. Declare attacker and target, then as they hit each other the tower also goes off.

Hmm. OK, I think I get it. Thanks!

Tower does 1 damage to each attacker that it can see. This damage happens simultaneously with other combat damage, including swift strike.

Chameleon Lizzo goes back to your hand after the draw/discard phase, so you would still have 5 cards, but one of them would be the lizzo. Combos well with Sanatorium!

Either way, I attack your base with Calamadra, the Giant Panda, and the Blooming Ancient for 10 damage, for the win. GG

Ouch. Well done.

So how was the game for you? What do you think? :slight_smile: It can be hard to get a hang of how the card flow works while also trying to learn a million new cards.
