TheXtra Path

I figured I’d add the rules to the game. From the comic, Breakrift Duel.

Reduce your opponent’s Life (10) to 0 through tactical use of cards and combat.

⚔️ Combat Mechanics

Attack Resolution

• Only attacking units receive damage
• Defending order is set by the defending player
• Damage applies in sequence: Summons → Equipment → Player
• If a unit receives damage > or = remaining Defense, it is destroyed
• Damage carries over from turn to turn

Player Stats

• Weapons can increase Player Attack

Equipment Durability

• Upper/Lower Clothing absorb damage via Defense stat
• When Clothing reaches 0 Defense → Destroyed
