Heroes of Legend Card Rules

The nine “Heroes of Legend” cards portray

the protagonists of the Scorpion Clan Coup’s
conclusion, and carry the following special rules:

• Each Hero of Legend has four abilities

available, only two of which can be used.
• In deckbuilding, a player must check off
(or fill in) two of the boxes in a character’s
text box to indicate which abilities they
have selected. Once marked, the selections
cannot be changed. A card with more than or
fewer than two selections is invalid for play.
• A Hero of Legend’s printed text box contains
each ability that has been selected, and does
not contain any unselected ability.
• Multiple copies of the same character in the
same deck do not need to all share the same
selections. As with any other card, no more
than 3 copies of a character can be included
in a player’s deck by title.
• Toturi’s constant ability restricting the use of
Akodo Toturi is active regardless of which
abilities are selected for his card.
