causes Burn 2 per space.”
Comprehend Languages Player
Card: Text is “Chain (Skill)” but
icon is Move. Instead, it should be
a Skill icon.
Subclasses (Rulebook Pg. 7):
Text should include: “When
a Subclass is picked, take the
corresponding Subclass deck and
take a DR token (Shield) and place
it on your Class Mat’s DR track to
show your Subclass’s starting DR
(and to track your current DR at
any time).
Minion Activation (Rulebook
Pg. 14): Text should include:

activated by other means (such as
an Event).”
Initiative Phase (Rulebook Pg.
14): Text should instead read:
“If there’s a tie, initative goes to
the team with the lowest rolled
initative. If the lowest initiative

Burn damage (Rulebook Pg.
18): Text should instead read:
“When a target has separate
Ailments applied to them from
multiple sources, the last source
to apply an Ailment deals all their
Ailment damage first (at the end
of target’s turn). This only matters
when determining Last Hits.”
FAQ
Adjacency & Diagonals:
Blocking terrain on diagonals
means that space is not considered
adjacent and cannot be targeted
by a melee attack. (Ranged attack
still works with line of sight).
Character Primary Card Effects:
Character Primary card effects
are permanent. For example,
Bonnie’s Move card ability “You,
and any ally you can see, may
reroll 1’s. The new roll applies”
does not require Bonnie’s player to
use a move action to activate that
ability. Anything below the line is
considered a “passive” ability for
that character.
Interactions on Self: You are
considered your own ally, and as
such may play Interactions on
yourself.
Mage Hand Player Card: Mage
Hand cannot be used to interact
with Quest Objectives, only with
Loot or Event Objectives.
Max HP: Maximum HP increased
by spells (Aid or Motivational
Speech) grants that amount of HP
immediately and is lost when the
spell ends.
Minion Camp setup: Minions
have identical stats (except for
initiative) and can be placed at any
camp during setup.
 Tips & Tricks
Token use
♦ Use the HP tokens to count up “damage taken”
instead of distributing them during setup.
♦ You can and should leave most tokens in the box!
You only need to be able to read the Event tokens
easily. Put them next to the Event deck. Put a few
Party tokens near the Quests. Leave the rest.
Iron Golem
♦ High DR means piercing damage will be more
effective in taking it down.
♦ Who knew “Heat Metal” would work so well against
an Iron Golem?
♦ The Iron Golem doesn’t have a ranged attack.
Squeeze into tight places or stay far enough away (7
spaces) to prevent it from reaching you!

Victory Points ♦ If it has no target, it will attack ANY adjacent

♦ Remember, Quest progress is permanent (except for creature. Activate some nearby minion camps to
“Collect Artifacts”). Loot is fleeting. provide fodder.

♦ Defeating the Trial Guardian is the only way to win!
Playing “longer” will usually not increase your lead.
Balance keeping just ahead of the rival team with
fighting the Guardian.
PVP
♦ PvP only makes “sense” when trying to deny the
other party objectives, or when a Hero is carrying a
lot of loot! Save your good cards for when you really
need them to get victory points.
♦ Players generally have a few ways to mitigate or
negate damage on hand. If you’re going to go PvP,
coordination and focus is key to wearing them
down.
Elder Oblex
♦ Incredibly deadly, but slow. Stay out of melee range!
♦ Does not need line of sight to target and can move
over terrain, you can’t hide, but you can run!
Guardian Naga
♦ It’s deadliest attack requires 2 targets within Area 4.
Make sure that’s not you!
♦ “Weak” in melee, especially if you have healing
capabilities to counteract its poison.
♦ You can use its Flame Strike to your advantage with
clever positioning. It might hurt, but maybe it hurts
the other team/targets/minions more!
