Legends:Card Effects

< Legends(Redirected from Legends:Equip)

Card effects are words used to substitute a certain rules text. Any card can have a card effect, but some effects are limited to specific card types. They are explained in the Glossary and in-game when you hover over a card with a card effect. Some of these effects refer to special types of abilities called Keywords. Keywords are different than other effects as they are static and always active (even if they sometimes only do work on specific times or turns). For example, Treasure Hunt and Heal are not keywords, because Treasure Hunt has different bonus effects depending on the card, while Heal is a one time use effect.

KeywordsEdit
