- Return to Rumbling Spell Orchestra
Each player chooses one character card at the beginning of the game, and designates her as the lead character. This selection process is simultaneous, so that neither side knows the other's lead character beforehand. Next, each player chooses three more accompanying characters. Duplicate characters are allowed, and in fact required for certain cards. You will tailor your deck based on the character cards that you have chosen. Note that heavy duplication of a particular character (e.g. three Reimus) will allow access to stronger cards, but narrow the range of cards available to you, and vice versa. The number of a particular character you have will be referred to as that character's Level.
Your lead character has certain attributes that will play vital roles throughout the game. Since the attributes of your other characters do not come into play, your lead character will be hereafter referred to as your Leader.
The most important is your Leader's Hit Points (体力), or HP, which measures your Leader's health, located in the top right corner of each character card. You HP goes down if you take damage during the Battle Phase, and you lose the game when your Leader's HP drops to zero or below. Some cards have the ability to restore some HP, but your HP cannot go above the value written on the card. You will keep track of your HP value using counters.
Another crucial number is the Spell Power (呪力), or SP. At the beginning of the game, your Leader has 0 SP, but will go up during the replenishing phase. Activating Spell Cards, using Event Cards and equipping Support Cards all require SP. You will keep track of your SP value using counters; you cannot have a negative SP value.
The number below the HP is your Evasion Value (回避), or EV, which conveys your Leader's dodging abilities. During the Battle Phase, if you opponent declares a Spell Card on you, your EV is compared with your opponent's Spell Card's Hit Value, or HV. If your EV is lower, your Leader takes a hit, and loses a certain amount of HP, which is determined by whether you're attacking or intercepting. If your EV is higher, your Leader evaded the spell and suffers no damage. If your EV is the same as your opponent's card's HV, the final attribute, the Border Value, comes into play.
Your Leader's Border Value (決死判定), or BV, tells you how much SP you need to spend to escape out of a border situation, as described above. If you pay the necessary SP, then your Leader suffers no damage. If you have insufficient SP, or choose not to pay the necessary SP, your Leader gets hit and loses HP.
General Character Guide[]
1. Name |
Blue text indicates when Special Abilities can be used. A designation of Attack or Intercept means that the Special can only be used if you're attacking or defending, respectively. X SP indicates that you have to pay X Spell Power to use that Special. One hand card indicates that you have to discard one of your hand cards to use that Special. Red text indicates the target of each Special; some cards will prevent Specials from acting on their targets, such as Patchouli's Character Card. Green text indicates Basic Abilities.
