The Dash buttons are gone! Your cards will Dash automatically once the 3rd card is placed on a lane, and after all cards have been revealed. In fact, you will only be able to place 3 cards on each lane! The goal in this event is to score the most points by dealing damage to your opponent's Force Field, so the health is set to 0 from the start, and you accumulate points instead of trying to reduce your opponent's health.
Initiative* is a key factor in this event. Why is it so important?
- It’s possible to interfere with your opponent's Dash using On REVEAL cards like Chaos and Eggman, since their ability will trigger before the Dash phase.
- You can make your opponent Dash with fewer than three cards. If you use a card like Storm the Albatross and send one or two of your opponent’s cards to the other lane, they will still Dash even if they lost the 3rd card, because their Dash was already activated. But hopefully, that will still give you an advantage!
Pro tip: If you play your cards right, you could Dash two lanes at the same time without having to use Knuckles.
Good cards for this event: Caterkiller, Trip, Pachacamac.
