The player would declare that they are using the action, draw two dice from their bag, roll them, and place the results in their reserve pool. Since both the Main Step and Attack Step happen after the Roll and Reroll Step, dice rolled using the Gearing Up BAC cannot be rerolled.

<\/p>\n
can be paid with their respective energy during the Main Step of your opponent\u2019s turn to force a single target character die to attack this turn. For example, during an opponent\u2019s Main Step, a player could use Mr. Fantastic, Brilliant Scientist\u2019s global ability by paying one mask energy and choosing an opposing player\u2019s active character die. That character would be forced to attack during that player\u2019s attack step. Players can activate \u201ctarget character must attack\u201d effects during the Attack Step, but since attackers have already been assigned (during the Assign Attackers phase of the Attack Step) the opportunity for those characters to attack has already passed and the net result would be paying for an effect, choosing a target, and the effect of the Global Ability would do nothing.<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>Q: If a character with a game effect that is triggered by taking damage is KO\u2019ed due to damage dealt in combat, does their game effect occur?<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>A: <\/strong>Yes, the character\u2019s card effect will occur. As an example, Iron Man,
\nPlayboy\u2019s ability to deal 3 damage to one opposing character that is attacking or blocking each time he takes damage in the Attack Step would be triggered even if the damage he takes would cause him to be KO\u2019d.
\nPLEASE NOTE: On Page 17 of the rulebook, there is an error. In the last sentence of the first paragraph, it states, \u201cThis will give Thor enough damage to knock out Iron Man before he can use his card text again.\u201d This refers to the fact that Iron Man will not be in play in future turns to continue to take advantage of his ability \u2013 he still gets to use it on the turn he is KO\u2019ed.

As an example, Thor, Legendary Warrior\u2019s ability to knock out characters when he deals damage to an opponent is not considered to deal damage to the character and, therefore, his ability would not activate any game effects triggered by taking damage on the character that he knocks out with this

If that character is removed from combat before their game effect would trigger, that character\u2019s effect will not occur. As an example, Black Widow, Natural has a card effect of, \u201cAt the end of the attack step, spin each character engaged with Black Widow down 1 level.\u201d
\n![\"Marvel](\"https:\/\/wizkids.com\/dicemasters\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2014\/12\/FAQ-6-215x300.png\")
\nIf Black Widow, Natural, would be KO\u2019ed due to damage taken in the Assign Damage Step (or otherwise removed from combat before the end of the Attack Step), then she is no longer actively engaged with any opposing characters so her game
\neffect would not occur.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>Q: Please explain \u201cWhen fielded\u201d effects.<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>A: <\/strong>\u201cWhen fielded\u201d effects trigger at the time that a player moves that character into their Field Zone. In most instances, this occurs when a player pays a character\u2019s fielding cost and moves the character from their Reserve Pool to their Field Zone. As an example, Hawkeye, Longbow\u2019s ability allows him to deal his attack value to a target opposing character when he is fielded.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nSome game effects will allow characters to be fielded in a more non-traditional fashion\u2014such as Gambit, Le Diable Blanc.<\/p>\n
If a character would be fielded from Gambit, Le Diable Blanc\u2019s ability, any \u201cwhen fielded\u201d effects on those characters would activate.<\/p>\n

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Q: Please explain \u201cWhile Active\u201d effects.<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>A: <\/strong>\u201cWhile active\u201d effects
\nare static effects that are considered to be in play as long as that character is in the Field Zone (NOTE: the Attack Zone is considered a
\nsubset of the Field Zone\u2014so \u201cWhile active\u201d effects are still active when a character is in the Attack Zone). These effects are not cumulative\u2014 i.e. the effects only occur once regardless of how many of that character is active in a player\u2019s Field\/Attack Zone (however, NOTE: if both players have the same character active, the effects will occur once for each player). As an example, Dr. Doom, Reed Richards\u2019 Rival, modifies the Attack and Defense of all non-villain characters while he is active. This effect would only occur
\nonce regardless of how many Dr. Doom dice a player has active, but would occur twice if two players had a Doctor Doom, Reed Richards\u2019 Rival, active.

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>Q: Please explain the interaction\/timing of \u201cWhen fielded\u201d and \u201cWhile active\u201d effects.<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>A: Characters are fielded when they are moved from the reserve pool to the field zone (by paying their fielding cost or through any special effect). An effect that occurs while the character is \u201cactive\u201d is described as an effect that takes place when one or more of that card\u2019s dice are in the field. See the Tournament Rules – Active and Fielded section in the rulebook on page 19. For example, Hawkeye, Longbow\u2019s effect would activate only when you pay the character\u2019s fielding cost and move the die from your reserve pool to the field. Doctor Doom, Reed Richards\u2019 Rival\u2019s effect would stay in effect as long as that character die is in your Field Zone.<\/p>\nFor \u201cWhen fielded\u201d effects, you ask \u201cWas the character fielded?\u201d\u2014 If yes, the effect occurs immediately as they are fielded. This will happen simultaneously with any static effects already in the field (like Doctor Doom, Reed Richards\u2019 Rival\u2019s -1A and -1D). So, if a player fields Hawkeye on his Level 1 or 2 face (with 1 Defense), if there are no other defense modifiers on the field, it would play out as:<\/p>\n
1) Hawkeye deals his attack value (which is being modified Dr. Doom by -1) to target
\ncharacter.
\n2) Dr. Doom\u2019s modifies Hawkeye\u2019s Defense by -1, KO\u2019ing Hawkeye.
\n![\"Marvel](\"https:\/\/wizkids.com\/dicemasters\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2014\/12\/FAQ-10-300x194.png\")
\nSo, effectively, Hawkeye uses his effect just as he is KO\u2019d.<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>Q: Please explain \u201cWhen\/While attacking\u201d and \u201cWhen\/While blocking\u201d effects.<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>A:<\/strong> These effects will trigger each and every time that a character die is assigned to attack\/block\u2014 even if you assign multiple dice of the same character to attack\/block.<\/p>\nAs an example of a \u201cWhen attacking\u201d effect, Punisher, McRook allows a player to knock out one target opposing character when he is assigned to attack. If a player assigns multiple Punisher, McRooks to attack, this effect would trigger for each Punisher assigned to attack.

<\/p>\n
\n\n\nAs an example of a \u201cWhen blocking\u201d effect, Beast, Mutate #666 allows you to draw a die and place it in your prep area when he blocks. If a player has multiple Beast, Mutate #666s in their Field Zone and blocks with more than one during an attack, that player will be able to draw a die for each Beast, #666 that is assigned to block.<\/p>\n

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Q: What happens to a captured die if the capturing die is captured, rerolled, or otherwise changed such that the power is no longer available?<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>A: <\/strong>On Page 21 of the rulebook, under the Capturing, Controlling, and Copying section, \u201cOnce the capturing ends, place the die wherever it came from (the text on the capturing die\u2019s card will tell you where you captured it from).\u201d If the capturing die is somehow changed (through rerolling, etc), and is removed from the field, its ability is no longer in play, so the captured die would be returned to where you captured it from.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>Q: Is a character considered to be blocked even if the blocker is removed from combat before damage is assigned?<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>A:<\/strong> Yes, once a blocker is declared in the Assign Blocker step, the attack is still considered blocked when assigning damage. As an example, if Nightcrawler, Circus Freak, is blocked by a single character and that character is KO\u2019d by Nightcrawler\u2019s ability, Nightcrawler is still considered to have been blocked for the turn.

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>Q: Can you use a 2 generic energy die to both field characters and purchase a die in the same turn? To field two characters who each cost 1 to field?<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>A:<\/strong> Yes. In a situation where you roll Mask, 2, Sidekick, and\u00a0Spider-Man Lv2 (field cost 1), you can buy a 2 cost Beast (with\u00a0your Mask and 1 of your 2 generic energy) and field the Spider-Man (with the remainder of your 2 generic energy). You may take no actions in between and you may not pass priority to your opponent. The same would be true if you had rolled a 2 energy face on a die that has no 1 energy face. See page 7 of the rulebook under Purchasing a Die that reads, \u201cFor those dice (generic energy), any unused portion that is not immediately spent is lost. However, you can purchase multiple dice simultaneously to spend a generic die completely.\u201d Also, under Field Characters on the same page, \u201cAs with purchasing dice, you can partially\u00a0spend non-generic energy dice, and you can pay several fielding costs at once to fully spend a generic energy die.\u201d<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>Q: If a card effect is triggered multiple times by the same game effect, does the card effect happen multiple times as a result?<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\n\n\n\nA.<\/strong> No, just once. For example, let\u2019s look at the Force Beam BAC and Hulk, Jade Giant:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n![\"Marvel](\"https:\/\/wizkids.com\/dicemasters\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2014\/12\/FAQ-16-300x203.png\")
<\/p>\n
\n\n\nSuppose the following situation: Player A has a Force Beam Basic Action Die in their Reserve Pool on its double burst Action Face. Player B has a Hulk die in their Field Zone on its Level 3 face. Player A activates their Force Beam, which deals 1 damage to each player and 2 damage to each character. Player A and Player B will both be dealt 1 damage and all characters in both players\u2019 Field Zones will be dealt 2 damage. As Player B will take damage and Player B\u2019s Hulk will take damage, Hulk\u2019s card effect of \u201cWhile Hulk is active, when either you or Hulk takes damage, knock out one of your opponent\u2019s level 1 characters\u201d will trigger and Hulk will be able to knock out one of Player A\u2019s level 1 characters (that were still in Field after being dealt 2 damage from the Force Beam). Hulk\u2019s effect will only trigger once regardless of how many times the requirement for his effect is met. If any other source would then deal damage to Hulk\u2019s controller or Hulk (like a second Force Beam were to be played), Hulk\u2019s ability would trigger again.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>Q: If I target a character with two separate effects that resolve simultaneously, and for opposite effect, what happens?<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA:<\/strong> The active player would choose which effect to apply first. Let\u2019s take a look at Doctor Octopus, Megalomaniac with the ability, \u201cWhen Doctor Octopus assigns to attack, target an opposing character. That character cannot block this turn.\u201d and Deadpool, Chiyonosake with the ability, \u201cWhen Deadpool attacks, you may assign an opposing character to block him. If he knocks out that character, he deals two damage to each opposing character.\u201d If the attacker chooses to have Doctor Octopus, Megalomaniac activate first, the target character would not be able to block, and Deadpool, Chiyonosake would need to choose a different character for his effect (or none at all, since it is a \u201cmay\u201d effect). If the attacker chooses to have Deadpool, Chiyonosake activate first, the target character must block the Deadpool die. Afterward, the attacker could choose to prevent that blocker from blocking with Doctor Octopus, Megalomaniac since it is a \u201ccannot\u201d effect.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>Q: If a Global Ability says I may only use it once per turn, can I use my copy and my opponent\u2019s copy of the same ability?<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>A:\u00a0<\/strong>The short answer is yes! It doesn\u2019t matter if you have the same exact character (two Silver Surfer, Sky-Riders) as your opponent, or two different versions of the same character (Silverado and Sky-Rider).![\"Marvel](\"https:\/\/wizkids.com\/dicemasters\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2014\/12\/FAQ-17-300x204.png\")

<\/p>\nFor characters with \u201cDraw Dice\u201d effects\u2014 such as Gambit Ace in the Hole\u2014
\nare triggered when the requirement of the card effect is met. In the case of Gambit, Ace in the Hole, this is when this character is fielded. In this example, since fielding Gambit would occur during the Main Step (which happens after the Roll and Reroll Step), dice rolled using Gambit\u2019s effect cannot be rerolled.<\/p>\n

can be paid with their respective energy during the Main Step of your opponent\u2019s turn to force a single target character die to attack this turn. For example, during an opponent\u2019s Main Step, a player could use Mr. Fantastic, Brilliant Scientist\u2019s global ability by paying one mask energy and choosing an opposing player\u2019s active character die. That character would be forced to attack during that player\u2019s attack step. Players can activate \u201ctarget character must attack\u201d effects during the Attack Step, but since attackers have already been assigned (during the Assign Attackers phase of the Attack Step) the opportunity for those characters to attack has already passed and the net result would be paying for an effect, choosing a target, and the effect of the Global Ability would do nothing.<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>Q: If a character with a game effect that is triggered by taking damage is KO\u2019ed due to damage dealt in combat, does their game effect occur?<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>A: <\/strong>Yes, the character\u2019s card effect will occur. As an example, Iron Man,
\nPlayboy\u2019s ability to deal 3 damage to one opposing character that is attacking or blocking each time he takes damage in the Attack Step would be triggered even if the damage he takes would cause him to be KO\u2019d.

\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>Q: Can you use a 2 generic energy die to both field characters and purchase a die in the same turn? To field two characters who each cost 1 to field?<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>A:<\/strong> Yes. In a situation where you roll Mask, 2, Sidekick, and\u00a0Spider-Man Lv2 (field cost 1), you can buy a 2 cost Beast (with\u00a0your Mask and 1 of your 2 generic energy) and field the Spider-Man (with the remainder of your 2 generic energy). You may take no actions in between and you may not pass priority to your opponent. The same would be true if you had rolled a 2 energy face on a die that has no 1 energy face. See page 7 of the rulebook under Purchasing a Die that reads, \u201cFor those dice (generic energy), any unused portion that is not immediately spent is lost. However, you can purchase multiple dice simultaneously to spend a generic die completely.\u201d Also, under Field Characters on the same page, \u201cAs with purchasing dice, you can partially\u00a0spend non-generic energy dice, and you can pay several fielding costs at once to fully spend a generic energy die.\u201d<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>Q: If a card effect is triggered multiple times by the same game effect, does the card effect happen multiple times as a result?<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\n\n\n\nA.<\/strong> No, just once. For example, let\u2019s look at the Force Beam BAC and Hulk, Jade Giant:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
\n\n\nSuppose the following situation: Player A has a Force Beam Basic Action Die in their Reserve Pool on its double burst Action Face. Player B has a Hulk die in their Field Zone on its Level 3 face. Player A activates their Force Beam, which deals 1 damage to each player and 2 damage to each character. Player A and Player B will both be dealt 1 damage and all characters in both players\u2019 Field Zones will be dealt 2 damage. As Player B will take damage and Player B\u2019s Hulk will take damage, Hulk\u2019s card effect of \u201cWhile Hulk is active, when either you or Hulk takes damage, knock out one of your opponent\u2019s level 1 characters\u201d will trigger and Hulk will be able to knock out one of Player A\u2019s level 1 characters (that were still in Field after being dealt 2 damage from the Force Beam). Hulk\u2019s effect will only trigger once regardless of how many times the requirement for his effect is met. If any other source would then deal damage to Hulk\u2019s controller or Hulk (like a second Force Beam were to be played), Hulk\u2019s ability would trigger again.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

That character cannot block this turn.\u201d and Deadpool, Chiyonosake with the ability, \u201cWhen Deadpool attacks, you may assign an opposing character to block him. If he knocks out that character, he deals two damage to each opposing character.\u201d If the attacker chooses to have Doctor Octopus, Megalomaniac activate first, the target character would not be able to block, and Deadpool, Chiyonosake would need to choose a different character for his effect (or none at all, since it is a \u201cmay\u201d effect). If the attacker chooses to have Deadpool, Chiyonosake activate first, the target character must block the Deadpool die. Afterward, the attacker could choose to prevent that blocker from blocking with Doctor Octopus, Megalomaniac since it is a \u201ccannot\u201d effect.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>Q: If a Global Ability says I may only use it once per turn, can I use my copy and my opponent\u2019s copy of the same ability?<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>A:\u00a0<\/strong>The short answer is yes!

<\/p>\n
can be paid with their respective energy during the Main Step of your opponent\u2019s turn to force a single target character die to attack this turn. For example, during an opponent\u2019s Main Step, a player could use Mr. Fantastic, Brilliant Scientist\u2019s global ability by paying one mask energy and choosing an opposing player\u2019s active character die. That character would be forced to attack during that player\u2019s attack step. Players can activate \u201ctarget character must attack\u201d effects during the Attack Step, but since attackers have already been assigned (during the Assign Attackers phase of the Attack Step) the opportunity for those characters to attack has already passed and the net result would be paying for an effect, choosing a target, and the effect of the Global Ability would do nothing.<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>Q: If a character with a game effect that is triggered by taking damage is KO\u2019ed due to damage dealt in combat, does their game effect occur?<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>A: <\/strong>Yes, the character\u2019s card effect will occur. As an example, Iron Man,
\nPlayboy\u2019s ability to deal 3 damage to one opposing character that is attacking or blocking each time he takes damage in the Attack Step would be triggered even if the damage he takes would cause him to be KO\u2019d.
\nPLEASE NOTE: On Page 17 of the rulebook, there is an error. In the last sentence of the first paragraph, it states, \u201cThis will give Thor enough damage to knock out Iron Man before he can use his card text again.\u201d This refers to the fact that Iron Man will not be in play in future turns to continue to take advantage of his ability \u2013 he still gets to use it on the turn he is KO\u2019ed.

As an example, Thor, Legendary Warrior\u2019s ability to knock out characters when he deals damage to an opponent is not considered to deal damage to the character and, therefore, his ability would not activate any game effects triggered by taking damage on the character that he knocks out with this
\nability.
\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>Q: Please explain game effects that occur when a character is \u201cengaged\u201d in combat.<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>A: <\/strong>If a character has a game effect that is triggered when the character is \u201cengaged\u201d with another character, then that character must actively be in combat (either as attacker or blocker) with the opposing character when the game effect is supposed to occur. If that character is removed from combat before their game effect would trigger, that character\u2019s effect will not occur. As an example, Black Widow, Natural has a card effect of, \u201cAt the end of the attack step, spin each character engaged with Black Widow down 1 level.\u201d
\n
\nIf Black Widow, Natural, would be KO\u2019ed due to damage taken in the Assign Damage Step (or otherwise removed from combat before the end of the Attack Step), then she is no longer actively engaged with any opposing characters so her game

In most instances, this occurs when a player pays a character\u2019s fielding cost and moves the character from their Reserve Pool to their Field Zone. As an example, Hawkeye, Longbow\u2019s ability allows him to deal his attack value to a target opposing character when he is fielded.
\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nSome game effects will allow characters to be fielded in a more non-traditional fashion\u2014such as Gambit, Le Diable Blanc.<\/p>\n
If a character would be fielded from Gambit, Le Diable Blanc\u2019s ability, any \u201cwhen fielded\u201d effects on those characters would activate.<\/p>\n

\nare static effects that are considered to be in play as long as that character is in the Field Zone (NOTE: the Attack Zone is considered a
\nsubset of the Field Zone\u2014so \u201cWhile active\u201d effects are still active when a character is in the Attack Zone). These effects are not cumulative\u2014 i.e. the effects only occur once regardless of how many of that character is active in a player\u2019s Field\/Attack Zone (however, NOTE: if both players have the same character active, the effects will occur once for each player). As an example, Dr. Doom, Reed Richards\u2019 Rival, modifies the Attack and Defense of all non-villain characters while he is active. This effect would only occur
\nonce regardless of how many Dr. Doom dice a player has active, but would occur twice if two players had a Doctor Doom, Reed Richards\u2019 Rival, active.
\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>Q: Please explain the interaction\/timing of \u201cWhen fielded\u201d and \u201cWhile active\u201d effects.<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>A: Characters are fielded when they are moved from the reserve pool to the field zone (by paying their fielding cost or through any special effect). An effect that occurs while the character is \u201cactive\u201d is described as an effect that takes place when one or more of that card\u2019s dice are in the field. See the Tournament Rules – Active and Fielded section in the rulebook on page 19. For example, Hawkeye, Longbow\u2019s effect would activate only when you pay the character\u2019s fielding cost and move the die from your reserve pool to the field. Doctor Doom, Reed Richards\u2019 Rival\u2019s effect would stay in effect as long as that character die is in your Field Zone.<\/p>\nFor \u201cWhen fielded\u201d effects, you ask \u201cWas the character fielded?\u201d\u2014 If yes, the effect occurs immediately as they are fielded. This will happen simultaneously with any static effects already in the field (like Doctor Doom, Reed Richards\u2019 Rival\u2019s -1A and -1D). So, if a player fields Hawkeye on his Level 1 or 2 face (with 1 Defense), if there are no other defense modifiers on the field, it would play out as:<\/p>\n
1) Hawkeye deals his attack value (which is being modified Dr. Doom by -1) to target
\ncharacter.
\n2) Dr. Doom\u2019s modifies Hawkeye\u2019s Defense by -1, KO\u2019ing Hawkeye.
\n
\nSo, effectively, Hawkeye uses his effect just as he is KO\u2019d.<\/div><\/div><\/div>

If a player assigns multiple Punisher, McRooks to attack, this effect would trigger for each Punisher assigned to attack.
\n<\/p>\n
\n\n\nAs an example of a \u201cWhen blocking\u201d effect, Beast, Mutate #666 allows you to draw a die and place it in your prep area when he blocks. If a player has multiple Beast, Mutate #666s in their Field Zone and blocks with more than one during an attack, that player will be able to draw a die for each Beast, #666 that is assigned to block.<\/p>\n

\n\n\nSuppose the following situation: Player A has a Force Beam Basic Action Die in their Reserve Pool on its double burst Action Face. Player B has a Hulk die in their Field Zone on its Level 3 face. Player A activates their Force Beam, which deals 1 damage to each player and 2 damage to each character. Player A and Player B will both be dealt 1 damage and all characters in both players\u2019 Field Zones will be dealt 2 damage. As Player B will take damage and Player B\u2019s Hulk will take damage, Hulk\u2019s card effect of \u201cWhile Hulk is active, when either you or Hulk takes damage, knock out one of your opponent\u2019s level 1 characters\u201d will trigger and Hulk will be able to knock out one of Player A\u2019s level 1 characters (that were still in Field after being dealt 2 damage from the Force Beam). Hulk\u2019s effect will only trigger once regardless of how many times the requirement for his effect is met.

If that character is removed from combat before their game effect would trigger, that character\u2019s effect will not occur. As an example, Black Widow, Natural has a card effect of, \u201cAt the end of the attack step, spin each character engaged with Black Widow down 1 level.\u201d
\n
\nIf Black Widow, Natural, would be KO\u2019ed due to damage taken in the Assign Damage Step (or otherwise removed from combat before the end of the Attack Step), then she is no longer actively engaged with any opposing characters so her game
\neffect would not occur.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>Q: Please explain \u201cWhen fielded\u201d effects.<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>A: <\/strong>\u201cWhen fielded\u201d effects trigger at the time that a player moves that character into their Field Zone. In most instances, this occurs when a player pays a character\u2019s fielding cost and moves the character from their Reserve Pool to their Field Zone. As an example, Hawkeye, Longbow\u2019s ability allows him to deal his attack value to a target opposing character when he is fielded.
\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nSome game effects will allow characters to be fielded in a more non-traditional fashion\u2014such as Gambit, Le Diable Blanc.<\/p>\n
If a character would be fielded from Gambit, Le Diable Blanc\u2019s ability, any \u201cwhen fielded\u201d effects on those characters would activate.<\/p>\n

\nare static effects that are considered to be in play as long as that character is in the Field Zone (NOTE: the Attack Zone is considered a
\nsubset of the Field Zone\u2014so \u201cWhile active\u201d effects are still active when a character is in the Attack Zone). These effects are not cumulative\u2014 i.e. the effects only occur once regardless of how many of that character is active in a player\u2019s Field\/Attack Zone (however, NOTE: if both players have the same character active, the effects will occur once for each player). As an example, Dr. Doom, Reed Richards\u2019 Rival, modifies the Attack and Defense of all non-villain characters while he is active. This effect would only occur
\nonce regardless of how many Dr. Doom dice a player has active, but would occur twice if two players had a Doctor Doom, Reed Richards\u2019 Rival, active.
\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>Q: Please explain the interaction\/timing of \u201cWhen fielded\u201d and \u201cWhile active\u201d effects.<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>A: Characters are fielded when they are moved from the reserve pool to the field zone (by paying their fielding cost or through any special effect). An effect that occurs while the character is \u201cactive\u201d is described as an effect that takes place when one or more of that card\u2019s dice are in the field. See the Tournament Rules – Active and Fielded section in the rulebook on page 19. For example, Hawkeye, Longbow\u2019s effect would activate only when you pay the character\u2019s fielding cost and move the die from your reserve pool to the field. Doctor Doom, Reed Richards\u2019 Rival\u2019s effect would stay in effect as long as that character die is in your Field Zone.<\/p>\nFor \u201cWhen fielded\u201d effects, you ask \u201cWas the character fielded?\u201d\u2014 If yes, the effect occurs immediately as they are fielded. This will happen simultaneously with any static effects already in the field (like Doctor Doom, Reed Richards\u2019 Rival\u2019s -1A and -1D). So, if a player fields Hawkeye on his Level 1 or 2 face (with 1 Defense), if there are no other defense modifiers on the field, it would play out as:<\/p>\n
1) Hawkeye deals his attack value (which is being modified Dr. Doom by -1) to target
\ncharacter.
\n2) Dr. Doom\u2019s modifies Hawkeye\u2019s Defense by -1, KO\u2019ing Hawkeye.
\n
\nSo, effectively, Hawkeye uses his effect just as he is KO\u2019d.<\/div><\/div><\/div>

If a player assigns multiple Punisher, McRooks to attack, this effect would trigger for each Punisher assigned to attack.
\n<\/p>\n
\n\n\nAs an example of a \u201cWhen blocking\u201d effect, Beast, Mutate #666 allows you to draw a die and place it in your prep area when he blocks. If a player has multiple Beast, Mutate #666s in their Field Zone and blocks with more than one during an attack, that player will be able to draw a die for each Beast, #666 that is assigned to block.<\/p>\n

As an example, if Nightcrawler, Circus Freak, is blocked by a single character and that character is KO\u2019d by Nightcrawler\u2019s ability, Nightcrawler is still considered to have been blocked for the turn.

These effects are not cumulative\u2014 i.e. the effects only occur once regardless of how many of that character is active in a player\u2019s Field\/Attack Zone (however, NOTE: if both players have the same character active, the effects will occur once for each player). As an example, Dr. Doom, Reed Richards\u2019 Rival, modifies the Attack and Defense of all non-villain characters while he is active. This effect would only occur
\nonce regardless of how many Dr. Doom dice a player has active, but would occur twice if two players had a Doctor Doom, Reed Richards\u2019 Rival, active.

An effect that occurs while the character is \u201cactive\u201d is described as an effect that takes place when one or more of that card\u2019s dice are in the field. See the Tournament Rules – Active and Fielded section in the rulebook on page 19. For example, Hawkeye, Longbow\u2019s effect would activate only when you pay the character\u2019s fielding cost and move the die from your reserve pool to the field. Doctor Doom, Reed Richards\u2019 Rival\u2019s effect would stay in effect as long as that character die is in your Field Zone.<\/p>\nFor \u201cWhen fielded\u201d effects, you ask \u201cWas the character fielded?\u201d\u2014 If yes, the effect occurs immediately as they are fielded. This will happen simultaneously with any static effects already in the field (like Doctor Doom, Reed Richards\u2019 Rival\u2019s -1A and -1D). So, if a player fields Hawkeye on his Level 1 or 2 face (with 1 Defense), if there are no other defense modifiers on the field, it would play out as:<\/p>\n
1) Hawkeye deals his attack value (which is being modified Dr. Doom by -1) to target
\ncharacter.
\n2) Dr. Doom\u2019s modifies Hawkeye\u2019s Defense by -1, KO\u2019ing Hawkeye.
\n
\nSo, effectively, Hawkeye uses his effect just as he is KO\u2019d.<\/div><\/div><\/div>

If a player assigns multiple Punisher, McRooks to attack, this effect would trigger for each Punisher assigned to attack.
\n<\/p>\n
\n\n\nAs an example of a \u201cWhen blocking\u201d effect, Beast, Mutate #666 allows you to draw a die and place it in your prep area when he blocks. If a player has multiple Beast, Mutate #666s in their Field Zone and blocks with more than one during an attack, that player will be able to draw a die for each Beast, #666 that is assigned to block.<\/p>\n

You may take no actions in between and you may not pass priority to your opponent. The same would be true if you had rolled a 2 energy face on a die that has no 1 energy face. See page 7 of the rulebook under Purchasing a Die that reads, \u201cFor those dice (generic energy), any unused portion that is not immediately spent is lost.

\n\n\nSuppose the following situation: Player A has a Force Beam Basic Action Die in their Reserve Pool on its double burst Action Face. Player B has a Hulk die in their Field Zone on its Level 3 face. Player A activates their Force Beam, which deals 1 damage to each player and 2 damage to each character. Player A and Player B will both be dealt 1 damage and all characters in both players\u2019 Field Zones will be dealt 2 damage. As Player B will take damage and Player B\u2019s Hulk will take damage, Hulk\u2019s card effect of \u201cWhile Hulk is active, when either you or Hulk takes damage, knock out one of your opponent\u2019s level 1 characters\u201d will trigger and Hulk will be able to knock out one of Player A\u2019s level 1 characters (that were still in Field after being dealt 2 damage from the Force Beam). Hulk\u2019s effect will only trigger once regardless of how many times the requirement for his effect is met. If any other source would then deal damage to Hulk\u2019s controller or Hulk (like a second Force Beam were to be played), Hulk\u2019s ability would trigger again.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

To field two characters who each cost 1 to field?<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>A:<\/strong> Yes. In a situation where you roll Mask, 2, Sidekick, and\u00a0Spider-Man Lv2 (field cost 1), you can buy a 2 cost Beast (with\u00a0your Mask and 1 of your 2 generic energy) and field the Spider-Man (with the remainder of your 2 generic energy). You may take no actions in between and you may not pass priority to your opponent. The same would be true if you had rolled a 2 energy face on a die that has no 1 energy face. See page 7 of the rulebook under Purchasing a Die that reads, \u201cFor those dice (generic energy), any unused portion that is not immediately spent is lost. However, you can purchase multiple dice simultaneously to spend a generic die completely.\u201d Also, under Field Characters on the same page, \u201cAs with purchasing dice, you can partially\u00a0spend non-generic energy dice, and you can pay several fielding costs at once to fully spend a generic energy die.\u201d<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>Q: If a card effect is triggered multiple times by the same game effect, does the card effect happen multiple times as a result?<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\n\n\n\nA.<\/strong> No, just once. For example, let\u2019s look at the Force Beam BAC and Hulk, Jade Giant:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
\n\n\nSuppose the following situation: Player A has a Force Beam Basic Action Die in their Reserve Pool on its double burst Action Face. Player B has a Hulk die in their Field Zone on its Level 3 face. Player A activates their Force Beam, which deals 1 damage to each player and 2 damage to each character. Player A and Player B will both be dealt 1 damage and all characters in both players\u2019 Field Zones will be dealt 2 damage. As Player B will take damage and Player B\u2019s Hulk will take damage, Hulk\u2019s card effect of \u201cWhile Hulk is active, when either you or Hulk takes damage, knock out one of your opponent\u2019s level 1 characters\u201d will trigger and Hulk will be able to knock out one of Player A\u2019s level 1 characters (that were still in Field after being dealt 2 damage from the Force Beam). Hulk\u2019s effect will only trigger once regardless of how many times the requirement for his effect is met. If any other source would then deal damage to Hulk\u2019s controller or Hulk (like a second Force Beam were to be played), Hulk\u2019s ability would trigger again.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>Q: If I target a character with two separate effects that resolve simultaneously, and for opposite effect, what happens?<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA:<\/strong> The active player would choose which effect to apply first. Let\u2019s take a look at Doctor Octopus, Megalomaniac with the ability, \u201cWhen Doctor Octopus assigns to attack, target an opposing character. That character cannot block this turn.\u201d and Deadpool, Chiyonosake with the ability, \u201cWhen Deadpool attacks, you may assign an opposing character to block him. If he knocks out that character, he deals two damage to each opposing character.\u201d If the attacker chooses to have Doctor Octopus, Megalomaniac activate first, the target character would not be able to block, and Deadpool, Chiyonosake would need to choose a different character for his effect (or none at all, since it is a \u201cmay\u201d effect). If the attacker chooses to have Deadpool, Chiyonosake activate first, the target character must block the Deadpool die. Afterward, the attacker could choose to prevent that blocker from blocking with Doctor Octopus, Megalomaniac since it is a \u201ccannot\u201d effect.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>Q: If a Global Ability says I may only use it once per turn, can I use my copy and my opponent\u2019s copy of the same ability?<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>A:\u00a0<\/strong>The short answer is yes! It doesn\u2019t matter if you have the same exact character (two Silver Surfer, Sky-Riders) as your opponent, or two different versions of the same character (Silverado and Sky-Rider).<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>Q: Is a character considered to be blocked even if the blocker is removed from combat before damage is assigned?<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>A:<\/strong> Yes, once a blocker is declared in the Assign Blocker step, the attack is still considered blocked when assigning damage. As an example, if Nightcrawler, Circus Freak, is blocked by a single character and that character is KO\u2019d by Nightcrawler\u2019s ability, Nightcrawler is still considered to have been blocked for the turn.
