Card Placement

In Akhedena Quick Match Mode, players can place two Army Cards on each Hero Card and Commander Card. The placement rules are as follows:

Hero Card

• Army Type Compatibility: A Hero Card can have any Army Card placed on it, as long as the Army Card's main type matches.

• Ranged Attack: If a Ranged Army Card is placed on a Hero Card, the Hero can perform ranged attacks.

• Weapon Type Match: If the weapon type of the Army Card matches the weapon type of the Hero Card, the Hero's stats are applied in battle.

• Flag Placement: A Mini Army Flag Card must be inserted into the back of the Hero miniature.

Commander Card

• Type Icon Match: A Commander Card must match the main type icon engraved on the back of the miniature.

• Army Type Compatibility: The Army Card placed on a Commander Card must have the same main type as the Commander Card.

• Weapon Type Match: Both the Commander Card and the Army Card must have matching weapon types for the Commander's stats to apply.

• Flag Placement: A Mini Army Flag Card must be inserted into the back of the Commander miniature, and the flag number should correspond to the card holder number.

Battle Rules

Melee Combat

• Initiating Combat: When approaching an opponent’s miniature on an adjacent square, melee combat begins. The player who moves first becomes the attacker.

• Attack Power: The total attack power is the combined sum of 1 Commander Card and 2 Army Cards. If the weapon types differ, the Commander’s stats are excluded.

• Defense Power: Similarly, the total defense power is the combined sum of 1 Commander Card and 2 Army Cards. If the weapon types differ, the Commander’s stats are excluded.

• Combat Resolution: If the attacker’s value is higher, the defender is removed. If the values are equal or the defender’s value is higher, the defender successfully defends and counterattacks.

• Counterattack: If the attacker fails, the defender counterattacks with the total attack power of 1 Commander Card and 2 Army Cards. The same rules apply regarding weapon type matching.

• Defender’s Counterattack Resolution: If the defender's counterattack is successful (higher attack value), the attacker’s miniature and cards are removed. If the values are equal, the result is a draw, and the turn ends.

Ranged Combat

• Archer’s Range: Archers can attack any unit within a 2-square range in any direction (up, down, left, or right).

• Initiating Combat: The player who moves first becomes the attacker.

• Attack Power: The total attack power is the combined sum of 1 Commander Card and 2 Army Cards. If the weapon types differ, the Commander’s stats are excluded.

• Defense by Infantry or Cavalry:

  • Each Army Card defends individually against the total attack power, regardless of weapon type.

  • If the defense power of a single Army Card is lower than the attacker’s combined power, that Army Card is removed. If it’s equal or higher, the defense is successful.

  • Infantry and Cavalry cannot counterattack. The attacker’s turn then ends.

  • Defense by Ranged Units:

  • Similar defense mechanics apply, but if the ranged defender successfully defends with remaining cards, they counterattack in the same way.

  • After the counterattack, the attacker’s turn ends.

The Crown

• Crown Acquisition: A player can acquire the crown by moving their piece to an adjacent square where the crown is located.

• Crown Benefits: The player who holds the crown can replace two Army Cards during their turn.

• Crown Placement: The crown must be placed on the player's own castle.

• Advantages and Disadvantages:

  • If a player possesses the crown, any castle can be destroyed.

  • If a player's castle is destroyed, they immediately lose the game.

Victory Conditions

• A player wins by either:

  1. Destroying the opponent's castle first, or

  2. Defeating the opponent's hero first.
