19:00 After revealing the two cards from the encounter deck, would it be possible in an action window to use Denethor's ability? Thank you for your videos, I'm learning a lot.
@CoptermanАй бұрын
So there is not an action window during the staging step. That's why Test of Will is a "response." The only exception is if a card is revealed that leads to an immediate attack. Then there are action windows like in any combat situation. Make sense?

@@brunomecca3306 hi there! Yes normal questing is when you add up your willpower to determine questing. Battle is adding up your attack value. Siege questing is adding up your defensive value. Certain quest stages force a player into one of the three as demonstrated in this quest. There are also player cards that may change the questing type like Trained for War.

At 18:00 the Dunland Prowler attacks for 2+1 from the Shadow effect, so he should dealt two points of damage to Beorn. Thus at 22:45 the Dunland Berserker attacks for 2+1 with his Shadow effect and kills Beorn. But this damage could have been taken undefended on Glorfindel.

Interesting, it seems like more controlling verison of a trap deck I created. I made mono-lore deck with the most obvious trap cards, but it was almost unplayable due to low will-power.

Hi there. Gollum raises our threat by 3 at the end of the round. And yes, you're right that before the action window in the refresh phase we have to raise our threat by 1. That is automated in dragncards. Look at 7:39 for instance. You'll see the threat raise in the command log bottom right. End of round is different than refresh phase. It is after refresh phase and before beginning of the round.
