Cards
From Breachway Official Wiki
Cards represent actions the ship can take each turn. Cards have different, scripted effects and costs during the Prologue.
Winning a regular combat encounter will allow picking one new card as long as any equipment can use it and has a free card slot. Winning an elite or boss combat encounter will allow picking one of two cards per equipment instead.
Attributes
Cards may have the following attributes:
- Deplete: Removed from current combat encounter when played.
- Exhaustive: Makes other cards unplayable this turn.
- Hack: Effect applies if target has 0 Security, otherwise removes 1 Security.
- Ignite: Hull Damage adds Heat to the enemy ship but is reduced equal to Dissipation at the end of the turn.
- Ion Damage: Only deals damage to shields. Hull damage inflicts equal Ionize instead.
- Ionize: On enemy, every 6 Ionize remove 1 pip from a random card. On player, every 6 Ionize reduces Reactor Power by 1 for the rest of the combat encounter.
- Missile: The damage is dealt the following turn.
- Ongoing: Persistent Effect removed if equipment is disabled.
- Precision: Able to target enemy equipment.
- Security: Protects against enemy Hack and increases the effects of Hack cards.
- Shredding: applies a stack of Shred if hull damage is equal to Shredding value. Each stack of Shred increases minimum Flak damage by 1. Counts down on turns with no Shredding applied unless the ship is overheated.
- Upkeep: As long the condition is met the card's Persistent Effect will remain active.
- Upgrade: Grants a permanent Persistent Effect to the user and is removed from battle while its Persistent Effect is active.
