## Rules questions

### Do I reset to 3 Energy and 0 Block at the start of my turn?

Yes — at the start of your turn reset your Energy to 3 and your Block to 0 before drawing and taking actions. (page 12)

### When do enemies act, and in what order do their actions resolve?

During the Enemy Phase you resolve enemy actions by row from left to right, with bosses resolving last; follow any cube or special action timing on the enemy cards. (page 13)

### If a card 'Exhausts', does it go to my discard or is it removed for the combat?

Exhausted cards go to the Exhaust pile and are removed from play for the rest of the combat unless a specific effect returns or moves them. (pages 6, 24)

### If an attack says it hits a row or 'all enemies', who exactly takes damage?

A row-targeted effect affects every enemy and summon in that specific row; an 'all enemies' or boss-wide effect hits every enemy across all rows (apply boss mode rules where noted). (page 15)

### Do I draw 5 cards at the start of my turn, and what happens if my deck runs out while drawing?

You draw up to 5 cards at the start of your turn; if your draw pile runs out, reshuffle your discard into the draw pile and continue drawing until you have drawn your full hand. (page 12)

### Where do summons go and who can they attack or be attacked by?

Place enemies and summons into the player rows indicated during encounter setup; summons occupy a specific row/player and are targeted and act from that position just like other enemies. (pages 10, 15)
