Spires Fire
|
Your opponents’ spires fire during your Onslaught turn. The player to your left checks for your units within range; applicable spires must attack. For each spire: choose target if multiple, roll attack dice equal to attack chips, deal rolled damage. Continue around turn order. Units do not retaliate against spires. Spires cannot attack landmarks, spires, fortress gates, or units of non-current players.

Teleport
|
When a talent teleports a unit, it is transported from its current hex to a different hex in the play area without moving through intervening hexes. It is considered to have moved onto destination for movement-triggered talents. Cannot be teleported more than once per turn. See also: Movement
|
|
|
Hex types: Path, Plains, Forest, Mountains, Water. Different terrain requires terrain allowances for movement. Heroes and some minions have a terrain allowance icon indicating most difficult terrain they can traverse, and they may traverse that and any lower-difficulty terrain. Most minions have no icon and can only move on path terrain. See also: Hero — Upgrades, Spire — Upgrades

Upgrade Capacity
|
The number of upgrade-capacity  icons on a chip is the max upgrades you may not exceed when upgrading that unit/ spire. Capacity is 0 if no icon. Can exceed via certain effects, but you cannot choose to exceed unless instructed. A spire may start above capacity; you cannot upgrade it until it drops below capacity.
