4. Battle – A free-for-all battle ensues!
A. Each player adds the power levels of their Creatures together to determine a power total.
A Creature’s base power level can be found in the upper-middle portion of the card (see diagram on reverse). A Creature’s final power level may change based on its abilities or the abilities of another card.
If a player has multiple Creatures with abilities triggering at the same time (e.g. “At the start of battle”), those abilities happen in succession (one after the other) with the owner choosing the order.
B. Players with the highest or tied for highest power total win the battle. Each other player loses the battle and loses a Life. Players that avoid a battle do not lose Life.
5. Check for survivors – After battle, any players that have 0 Life are eliminated. The last remaining player with any amount of Life is declared the game’s winner. If no winner is declared after battle, then move onto the next round by dealing Creation cards into the spawning pool until a Creature is dealt and returning to step 3 (taking turns).
A. If a player is eliminated, they discard their hand and place their Creation cards back into the spawning pool.
B. Upon being eliminated, a player may still use abilities that trigger after battle
