End
Resolve end-of-turn effects, pass priority, and hand the turn to your opponent.
The language of Triune
Five ways to
shape the battle.
Exact card text always controls. These are the roles each card type normally plays.
Avatars
Your combatants. Manifest them in Offense or Defense and use PWR or GRD to control battle.
Elite Avatars
Special champions that begin in the Elite Deck and enter play through printed Manifestation requirements.
Veins
Spell-like cards. Normal Veins are Speed 1; R-Effect Veins can answer legal actions at Speed 2.
Relics
Persistent cards that remain in an Action Zone to provide repeatable, triggered, or continuous value.
Mysts & Glyphs
Mysts are limited, powerful spells. Glyphs remain face-up until their visible trigger is consumed.
Respond in the moment
The R-Link
When a legal Speed 2 card or effect responds to an action, it becomes the next R-Link. After both players decline to respond, resolve the sequence backward—highest number first, then continue to R-Link 1.
