Star Icon (s)
A star icon is used in conjunction with a card’s stat or boost field to indicate that there is a mandatory ability in the text box that corresponds to that field. In and of itself, the star icon has no effect; it is merely a reminder to check the card’s text box whenever that field is used.
-
If a star icon is located next to an enemy’s ATK or SCH value, the icon serves as a reminder to check that enemy’s text box whenever that enemy uses that value to attack or scheme.
-
If a star icon is located in the ATK or SCH field of an attachment, the icon serves as a reminder to check that attachment’s text box whenever the attached enemy uses the value that field is modifying to attack or scheme.
-
If a star icon is located next to an ally’s ATK or THW value, the icon serves as a reminder to check that ally’s text box whenever that ally uses that value to attack or thwart.
-
If a star icon is located next to a hero’s ATK, THW, or DEF, or next to an alter-ego’s REC value, the icon serves as a reminder to check that character’s text box whenever they use that value to attack, thwart, defend, or recover.
-
If a game step or ability references a power with the value of star (s), that value is defined in that card’s text. If it is not defined (for instance, if the card’s text is blanked), that value is treated as 0.
-
If a star icon is located in an encounter card’s boost field, the icon serves as a reminder to check that card’s text box whenever that card is turned face up as a boost card during the villain’s activation.
