A card drawn at the start of the Event Phase from Wave 2 onwards. Events may alter rules, create side quests, or impede players and trigger in a specific phase. If it triggers in Event Phase, resolve immediately, otherwise set aside and follow instructions at the start of the appropriate phase. Effects supersede other game effects. Discard at end of wave unless ongoing. You still draw a new Event next wave even if previous has ongoing effects.

A stage of your turn during the Onslaught Phase. After spires fire, you may explore any landmark adjacent to one or more of your units by looking at its facedown side privately.

Group
|
Minions can be grouped during Prep by stacking together (order from lowest to highest movement stat top to bottom). Group acts as one unit using top minion stats/talents; health of top unit is placed under the entire group. You cannot voluntarily ungroup. When top is defeated, next becomes active with health equal to its health stat and continues turn from same point. Extra damage does not carry over. Units grouped under another are inactive; you may look discreetly, others may not. See also: Inactive, Select
|
|
Grouped Only
|
Key phrase on some talents: can only be used if the unit has at least one unit grouped underneath it. Otherwise treat as if it does not have the talent.

|
Harbinger Market and Landmark Chips
|
Some of the new chips in Cloudspire: Harbinger contain talents that, per their original wording, dictate the type of chip they belong to. For example, the talent Toxic Secretion says, “If a non-griege unit moves onto a hex adjacent to this unit, deal it 1 damage.” In this expansion, there is a spire that contains the talent Toxic Secretion.
The way the talent works has not been changed, but it is now a usable talent for more than just a unit. If you observe a chip with a talent that describes that talent as the property of a different chip type, it can now also be applied to any other chip with that talent.

|
Harbinger Neoprene Hexes
|
Cloudspire: Harbinger contains three new large isle tiles and one new earthscape for use in PvP play and the new solo scenarios. These are used normally.
One of the large isle tiles ( isle 31) contains two hexes that are sky hexes. These hexes represent part of the island having fallen away, revealing the land below. Just as with empty space surrounding the play area, units cannot move through these hexes. They cannot be counted through when determining a unit or spire’s range. These hexes cannot be occupied in any way, and you may not earthscape over them.
