## Rules questions

### Can I use another player's equipped weapon on my turn?

Yes — you may attack with a Weapon equipped by another player; you are the “you” on that card and make all decisions and pay any costs for that attack, and when the Weapon is discarded it goes to the discard pile of the player who had it equipped (see p.15).

### Do I shuffle my discard pile when my deck runs out?

No — when you need to draw and your deck is empty you flip your discard pile over to form a new deck and do not shuffle at any point in the game (see p.19).

### If I end up with fewer slots than equipped Weapons, do I have to discard or unequip them?

You keep any Weapons already equipped, but if you start your turn with more equipped Weapons than your current slots you must attack with your Weapons until that is no longer the case (see p.17).

### What happens when the Boss deck is empty during the Boss draw phase?

If the Boss deck is empty and there are remaining level tokens the Boss levels up: place the next level token, resolve its INSTANT effects, shuffle the Boss discard pile facedown to form a new Boss deck, then draw and resolve a card; if there are no level tokens left the players lose (see p.22).

### When can I activate my player ability or the Homeworld ability?

A player may activate their ability when at Full Power during their main phase by powering all the way down (move to 0) and resolving the ability, and the Homeworld can be activated when it is at Full Power during any player's main phase by powering it down and resolving its text; both can be activated multiple times if there is enough power (see p.18).

### What happens when a player is reduced to 0 health (becomes exhausted)?

An exhausted player cannot gain health, damage that would target the lowest-health player instead targets the lowest non-exhausted player, and any damage dealt to an exhausted player is instead doubled and dealt to the Homeworld; the Boss mat may also trigger a special effect when a player is exhausted, and if all players are exhausted the players lose (see p.23).
