Revised August 6, 2020<\/p>\n
Adventurer:\u00a0<\/strong>Any character with the Experience<\/strong> ability. (DDDM1)<\/strong><\/p>\n Aftershock:<\/strong>\u00a0When this character leaves the Field Zone because of your opponent (damage from their characters or actions, getting KO\u2019d, being removed from the game, sent to the Used Pile or Reserve Pool<\/em>) you must use their Aftershock effect.\u00a0(MDM4)<\/strong><\/p>\n Ally:<\/strong>\u00a0Character dice with the Ally ability count as [PAWN] while in the Field Zone in addition to their other designations. They don\u2019t count as Sidekick Dice while in the bag, Prep Area, Used Pile, or anywhere else.\u00a0(MDM4)<\/strong><\/p>\n Amplify<\/strong>: When you use an Action Die, spin each character die with Amplify up one level (if able).\u00a0(MDM10)<\/strong><\/p>\n Anti-Breath Weapon:<\/strong>\u00a0When a character die with Breath Weapon X attacks, you may pay X energy to\u00a0prevent that damage.\u00a0(DDDM2)<\/strong><\/p>\n Attune<\/strong>: While a character you control with Attune is active, when you use an action die, that character deals 1 damage to target player or character die (no matter how many of that character\u2019s dice are active<\/em>).\u00a0(DDDM3)<\/strong><\/p>\n Awaken:\u00a0<\/strong>When a die with Awaken spins up 1 or more levels, you may use its Awaken effect. You get to use the effect for each individual die that spins up, so if you have two copies of the same die active and they both spin up, you will get two instances of the effect.\u00a0(MDM8)<\/strong><\/p>\n Back for More:<\/strong>\u00a0When a die with Back for More begins the turn in your Prep Area, and is rolled during the Roll and Reroll Step, use its Back for More effect (this isn\u2019t optional<\/em>).\u00a0(MDM 6)<\/strong><\/p>\n Boomerang:\u00a0<\/strong>Action dice with boomerang are re-rolled after they\u2019re used. If they reveal an action face, add them to your Prep Area.\u00a0(DCDM 5)<\/strong><\/p>\n Breath Weapon X:\u00a0<\/strong>When a character die with Breath Weapon X attacks, you may pay X energy. Deal X damage to your opponent and all of their character dice. You may use multiple Breath Weapons in a turn, but only one per character (no matter how many copies of that die are attacking<\/em>).\u00a0(DDDM1)<\/strong><\/p>\n Call Out:\u00a0<\/strong>When a character die with Call Out attacks, you target an opposing character die. The targeted die can only legally block the attacking die that used Call Out on it, and no other die can legally block the die that used Call Out. If the die that used Call Out cannot legally be blocked for any reason (an effect made it unblockable, two different dice chose the same target for their Call Out, the die targeted with Call Out was KO\u2019d, etc<\/em>.) then the effect of Call Out is cancelled.\u00a0(MDM7)<\/strong><\/p>\n Cleave:<\/strong>\u00a0If a die with Cleave attacks and KOs a blocking character die with combat damage, they deal half of their A (rounded\u00a0down<\/em>) to another character die your opponent controls as combat damage (only once<\/em>).\u00a0(DDDM2)<\/strong><\/p>\n Common Ground:<\/strong>\u00a0When a character die with Common Ground attacks with at least one [VILLAINS] character die, you get to use the character die\u2019s Common Ground ability.\u00a0(DCDM5)<\/strong><\/p>\n Continuous:<\/strong>\u00a0Actions with Continuous are \u201cused\u201d by moving them to the Field Zone. They can stay there past the end of the turn. Usually they\u2019ll either send themselves to the Used Pile for an effect, or allow you to send them whenever you could use a Global Ability. If they are sent to the Used Pile while you are the active player, they go Out of Play first. As with all non-character dice, Continuous dice cannot attack or block.\u00a0(DCDM2)<\/strong><\/p>\n Corrupt X:<\/strong>\u00a0Target player draws X dice from their bag (refilling from the Used Pile if necessary<\/em>). You choose one die (no matter how many dice are drawn<\/em>) and place it in that player\u2019s Used Pile, and the rest are returned to the bag.\u00a0(MDM11)<\/strong><\/p>\n Crossover<\/strong>: Crossover characters have two or more types of energy. To purchase them you\u2019ll need to spend at least one of each type of energy they require. You won\u2019t be able to reduce their cost to avoid paying each type of energy to purchase their dice. They count as every type of energy you must spend to purchase their die. (DCDM4<\/strong>)<\/p>\n Crosspulse<\/strong>: Crosspulse is a special version of Impulse<\/strong> found only on Crossover Characters. When you purchase them by only spending their matching type(s) of energy, you get to use their Crosspulse ability. (DCDM4<\/strong>)<\/p>\n Deadly<\/strong>: At the end of the turn, character dice that were engaged with a character die that has Deadly are KO\u2019d (even if the character with Deadly has been KO\u2019d or leaves the Field Zone<\/em>). (MDM6<\/strong>)<\/p>\n Energize:<\/strong>\u00a0 Whenever you roll this die on one of its double energy faces, you must use its Energize effect (this isn\u2019t optional<\/em>). During the Roll and Reroll Step, only check at the end of the Step. The character with Energize does not need to be active for the ability to trigger.\u00a0(MDM11)<\/strong><\/p>\n Energy Drain:\u00a0<\/strong>After blockers are assigned, spin each character engaged with a character die with Energy Drain down one level. Character dice at level 1 can\u2019t be spun down.\u00a0(DDDM1)<\/strong><\/p>\n Enlistment:<\/strong>\u00a0 Enlistment effects let you get extra effects unless your opponent KOs one of their character dice.\u00a0(MDM5)<\/strong><\/p>\n Equip:<\/strong>\u00a0Gear dice with the Equip keyword may be attached to a character with the [GEAR] icon immediately below their alignment icon when they first enter the Field Zone, and at the beginning of each player\u2019s turn. You may switch the attachment from one character die to another. If the equipped character die leaves the Field Zone, the Gear die remains in the Field Zone (unattached<\/em>).\u00a0(DDDM1)<\/strong><\/p>\n Experience:<\/strong>\u00a0A character die with the Experience keyword is considered an Adventurer. At the end of your turn, if you KO\u2019d at least one opposing [MONSTER] during your turn, all Adventurers who were active during the KO and remain active at the end of the turn gain one Experience Token on their card. A card can only gain one Experience Token per turn from the Experience keyword (though other abilities may allow a card to gain more than one). An opposing player KOing their own Monster will not generate Experience Tokens, nor can you gain an Experience Token by KOing one of your own Monsters.\u00a0(DDDM1)<\/strong><\/p>\n Experience Token:<\/strong>\u00a0Experience Tokens are placed on character cards. Each token grants +1A and +1D to all character dice belonging to that card. Experience Tokens will still provide their bonus even if that card\u2019s text is being ignored.\u00a0(DDDM1)<\/strong><\/p>\n Fabricate X-Y:<\/strong>\u00a0Characters with\u00a0Fabricate will have 2 numbers (X-Y).\u00a0 If you KO exactly X character dice with a total combined purchase cost of Y or more, you can purchase the die with Fabricate X-Y for free. This can only be done when you could normally purchase a character die (generally during your own Main Step<\/em>). [PAWN] are considered to have a purchase cost of 0.\u00a0(DDDM 2)<\/strong><\/p>\n Fast:<\/strong>\u00a0Characters with Fast deal combat damage before other characters, all at the same time, instead of at the regular time for combat damage.\u00a0(DDDM2)<\/strong><\/p>\n Flip:<\/strong>\u00a0Cards with the Flip keyword have a different face on each physical side of the card (front and back<\/em>).\u00a0 All dice you control are represented by the face up side of your card with the Flip keyword, regardless of which face the card was on previously.\u00a0 At the beginning of each of your turns, you may flip any card with Flip to its other face.\u00a0 There also may be game effects that direct you to flip cards.\u00a0 Only cards with two faces may be flipped.\u00a0(DCDM5)<\/strong><\/p>\n Frag:<\/strong>\u00a0When a character die with Frag attacks and KO\u2019s one or more blocking character dice with combat damage, deal 1 damage to all opposing character dice that didn\u2019t block this turn (before damage is cleared<\/em>).\u00a0(WHDM1)\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Fusion:<\/strong>\u00a0During your Main Step, you may move a number of appropriate fusion material monsters (denoted on the card<\/em>) from your Field Zone to your Prep Area. Move the die with Fusion from its card to the Prep Area.\u00a0(YGO1)\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Gadgeteer:<\/strong>\u00a0When a character die with Gadgeteer attacks, you may roll a Continuous action die (including Gear or Traps<\/em>) that is in your Used Pile.\u00a0 If you roll a non-energy face, you may move it into your Field Zone.\u00a0 Otherwise, return it to your Used Pile.\u00a0(DCDM5)<\/strong><\/p>\n Gate:<\/strong>\u00a0When you field a die with Gate, you may take an unpurchased, qualifying die from one of your cards and roll it. On a character face, you can place the unpurchased die into your Prep Area.\u00a0(DDDM 2)<\/strong><\/p>\n Gear:<\/strong>\u00a0Gear are a special type of Continuous Action Dice that have the Equip keyword. They are \u201cused\u201d by moving them into the Field Zone. When you initially do this, and at the beginning of each turn that this die is active (any player\u2019s turn<\/em>), you may attach this die to a character with the Equip icon ([GEAR]). You may switch the attachment from one character die to another. If the equipped character die leaves the Field Zone, the Gear die remains in the Field Zone (unattached<\/em>). As with all non-character dice, Gear dice can\u2019t attack or block.\u00a0(DDDM1)<\/strong><\/p>\n Heroic:\u00a0<\/strong>Dice with Heroic can pair up with other dice (different character<\/em>) that you control that have the Heroic ability. Place paired up dice side by side. Heroic takes place at the same time a character is fielded. Dice may only be paired up with one other die (the new partner replaces the old one<\/em>). They attack and block separately.\u00a0(MDM2)<\/strong><\/p>\n Impulse:<\/strong>\u00a0Impulse abilities happen when you purchase a character die with the Impulse ability.\u00a0 The character does not need to be already active to use the Impulse ability. (DCDM4)\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Iron Will:<\/strong>\u00a0 This character cannot be KO\u2019d unless it was previously damaged this turn or if it is simultaneously damaged by two different sources.\u00a0 If this character was previously damaged\u00a0this turn and (a) it is damaged a second time and the total damage it received this turn equals or exceeds its D, or (b) a game effect later in the same turn reduces this character\u2019s defense such that\u00a0the damage it previously received this turn is equal to or greater than its new D, or (c) a later game effect this turn directs that the character be KO\u2019d, then KO this character.\u00a0 Also KO this character if it is simultaneously damaged by more than one source (for example, being blocked by more than one character die) and the total damage it receives from those sources equals or exceeds its D. Characters with Iron Will (that have not been damaged<\/em>) may not be selected to pay a cost that requires you to KO a character. (DCDM3)<\/strong><\/p>\n Immortal:\u00a0<\/strong>When a character die with Immortal would go to the Used Pile (not being fielded at the end of the Main Step, attacking and being unblocked, being Sacrificed, etc.<\/em>), instead add that character die to its owner\u2019s bag. Character dice with Immortal that went Out of Play this turn go to the Bag at the end of the turn instead of the Used Pile. This does not apply to dice initially being purchased, dice being swapped, or dice being spent as energy. (MDM9<\/strong>)<\/p>\n Infiltrate:<\/strong>\u00a0When a character die with Infiltrate attacks and is not blocked, you may choose to remove that character die from combat (immediately after blockers are declared, before Action dice or Global Abilities may be used<\/em>).\u00a0 If you do, that character die deals 1 damage to your opponent, and the die remains in your Field Zone.\u00a0(MDM7)<\/strong><\/p>\n Intimidate:<\/strong>\u00a0 When fielded, remove target opposing character die from the Field Zone until end of turn.\u00a0 Place it next to your character cards during that turn as a reminder.\u00a0(MDM5)<\/strong><\/p>\n Obscure:<\/strong>\u00a0When you use an Action die, this character is unblockable until end of turn. (DDDM4)<\/strong><\/p>\n Overcrush:<\/strong>\u00a0When attacking, if this character KOs all of its blockers (or they are removed for other reasons<\/em>), it deals any remaining damage to your opponent. (DCDM1)<\/strong><\/p>\n Range X:<\/strong>\u00a0When one or more character dice with Range attack, each active character die with Range (on both sides<\/em>) simultaneously deals damage equal to its Range value (X) to target opposing character die. Each character die with Range may choose a different target, and the defending player still resolves their Range damage even if the Range die was KO\u2019d by the active player\u2019s Range damage. All Range damage is dealt simultaneously; the active player chooses their targets and resolves the damage, immediately followed by the inactive player choosing their targets and resolving the damage.\u00a0(WHDM1)<\/strong><\/p>\n Recruit:<\/strong>\u00a0When a character die with the Recruit keyword damages an opponent with combat damage, you may move a die that matches what is listed in the ability from your Used Pile, Reserve Pool, or Prep Area into the Field Zone on its level 1 character face. For example, it could match a character\u2019s name (exactly<\/em>), affiliation, energy type, or Sidekick die type. A matching die in the Reserve Pool may be spun from an energy face to its level 1 character face.\u00a0(MDM12)<\/strong><\/p>\n Regenerate:<\/strong>\u00a0If this character would be KO\u2019d, roll it. If you roll a character face, return it to the field on the rolled face (but not the Attack Zone) and clear all damage from it. Otherwise, it is KO\u2019d and moved to your Prep Area. If a character die successfully Regenerates, it does not trigger any \u201cWhen KO\u2019d\u201d effects, and any applied modifiers (stat boosts, granted affiliations, etc.<\/em>) remain.\u00a0(DDDM1)<\/strong><\/p>\n Resistance:<\/strong>\u00a0Resistance effects let you get extra effects if one of your character dice was KO\u2019d this turn.\u00a0(MDM5)<\/strong><\/p>\n Retaliation:<\/strong>\u00a0If character you control with Retaliation is active, and character die you control that shares an affiliation with it is KO\u2019d (including another copy of the die with Retaliation<\/em>), deal 1 damage to an opposing player. A character die cannot trigger its own Retaliation since it is no longer active then.\u00a0(DCDM1)<\/strong><\/p>\n Ritual:\u00a0<\/strong>Instead of paying this monster\u2019s Fielding Cost you may send a monster [character] die from your Reserve Pool to Out of Play in order to field this monster.\u00a0(YGO1)<\/strong><\/p>\n Rush:<\/strong> If you draw this die during your Clear and Draw step, draw and roll an extra die for each die of the indicated type drawn during that step. (MDM13)<\/strong><\/p>\n Sacrifice:<\/strong>\u00a0Sacrificed characters are moved from the Field Zone to the Used Pile (often as a cost or penalty<\/em>). If one of your character dice is sacrificed while you are the active player, it goes Out of Play first.\u00a0(MDM4)<\/strong><\/p>\n Spark:\u00a0<\/strong>While a character with a Spark ability is active, if you roll a [BURST] face on one or more dice, use the Spark ability at the end of the current Step. During the Roll and Reroll Step, only check at the end of the Step.\u00a0(DDDM4)<\/strong><\/p>\n Strike:\u00a0<\/strong>On the turn you field this, at the end of the Main Step, if you fielded no other character dice this turn, this character die gets +2A, +2D, and Overcrush<\/strong>.\u00a0(DCDM6)<\/strong><\/p>\n Stun Tokens:<\/strong>\u00a0Certain abilities let you place Stun tokens on cards.\u00a0 While a card has a Stun token on it, its dice cannot attack or block.\u00a0 The owner of a card with a Stun token on it may pay [2] at any time they could use a Global Ability to remove one Stun token from that card.\u00a0(DCDM5)<\/strong><\/p>\n Suit Up:<\/strong>\u00a0When you purchase a character die with the Suit Up keyword, you may KO a character you control whose name matches one of those listed in the ability.\u00a0 If you do, you may immediately field the purchased die at level 2. For example, if you purchased a character die with Suit Up Iron Man, you may immediately KO an Iron Man character die to immediately field the purchased character die at level 2.(MDM2017)<\/strong><\/p>\n Swarm:<\/strong>\u00a0While a die with Swarm is active, and you draw another copy of that die from your bag during your Clear and Draw Step, draw an extra die from your bag and add it to your Roll and Reroll. This may trigger multiple times if you keep drawing multiple copies of dice with Swarm. (DDDM1)<\/strong><\/p>\n Synergy<\/strong>: While a character with Synergy is active, you can pay the cost of their Synergy ability to use it. You could use it as the same time as you would a Global Ability. (DCDM4<\/strong>)<\/p>\n Tag Out:<\/strong>\u00a0After blockers are declared, you may Prep this die from the Field Zone to give target character die +2A and +2D until end of turn.\u00a0(WWEDM1)<\/strong><\/p>\n Teamwatch:<\/strong>\u00a0When a character with Teamwatch is active and you field another character die with the same affiliation, use their Teamwatch ability. (MDM3)<\/strong><\/p>\n Teamwork:<\/strong>\u00a0Teamwork abilities will let you get extra effects from actions when you have multiple character dice with the same affiliation. (MDM3)<\/strong><\/p>\n Traps<\/strong>: Traps are a special kind of Continuous action dice that move to the Field Zone when used, and stay there until Triggered. When the criteria of the Trap die\u2019s Trigger is met, you must immediately send the die to your Used Pile to use its Effect. If the Trap is triggered while you are the active player, it goes Out of Play first.\u00a0(DDDM3)<\/strong><\/p>\n Turtle Power:<\/strong>\u00a0 While\u00a0a character with Turtle Power is active, all other character dice with the [TURTLES] affiliation cost [1] energy less to purchase for each active (unique<\/em>) character with Turtle Power you control.\u00a0(TMNT1)<\/strong><\/p>\n Underdog:<\/strong>\u00a0This ability can be used when you have fewer character dice fielded than your opponent. Sometimes the character won\u2019t need to be active (it may affect how the character is purchased or fielded<\/em>). If an Underdog effect would trigger when a die is fielded, it counts the newly fielded die when determining if you have fewer dice.\u00a0(MDM4)\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Vengeance:<\/strong>\u00a0Vengeance effects take place when you (the player<\/em>) is dealt damage, and the character with Vengeance is active.\u00a0(DCDM3)<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Revised April 15, 2019<\/p>\n Abilities:<\/strong>\u00a0The text on the die\u2019s associated card.<\/p>\n Ability Damage:<\/strong>\u00a0Damage from a character\u2019s ability text (not from its Attack stat during combat).<\/p>\n Action Die:<\/strong>\u00a0A die that has no character faces or stats. A face this die that shows a special graphic (such as [ACTION] on a Basic Action Die) can be used for a powerful effect.<\/p>\n Active:<\/strong>\u00a0A character is active if at least one copy of that character die is in the Field Zone. Effects that are applied while a character is active don\u2019t stack for multiple copies of that die in one player\u2019s Field Zone.<\/p>\n Assign:<\/strong>\u00a0To commit your character dice to attack, or to block an attacking character die. Also, to designate how a character die\u2019s Attack Value is dealt as damage to targets in an Attack Step.<\/p>\n Attack:<\/strong>\u00a0To send your characters to try to damage your opponent.<\/p>\n Attack Zone:<\/strong>\u00a0The Attack Zone is considered to be a special part of the Field Zone. Character dice assigned as attackers or blockers are moved to the Attack Zone to distinguish this status, but are always considered to be in the Field Zone.<\/p>\n Burst:\u00a0<\/strong>A star-shaped symbol ([BURST]) that indicates extra abilities may be in effect for a die.<\/p>\n Capture:<\/strong>\u00a0When you capture a die, move the captured die (or dice) to your Field Zone and place your capturing die on top of it. The captured die no longer exists for game purposes (it may be considered to be \u201cOut of Play\u201d<\/em>). The capture will end when speci\u00adfied in the card text (if unspeci\u00adfied, at the end of the turn<\/em>), or when the capturing die leaves the Field Zone (KO\u2019d, rerolled to energy, etc.<\/em>) Once the capture ends, return the captured die or dice to the place they were captured from, on the original level(s).<\/p>\nDice Masters Glossary:<\/h1>\n
