Arsenal Cards

Anatomy

  1. Card Name
  2. Shield Cost:
    The the amount of shields needed to obtain the card.  Rangers will need to discard cards from their hand with a shield value greater than, or equal to, the cost of the card.  Cards with a cost of R is equal to the number or Rangers in the game.  When performing the Recover action, Rangers may opt to recover fewer than 6 shields worth of cards, and lower the cost of an Arsenal Card by the difference.
  3. Card Type:
    The three types of Arsenal Cards are Armor, Powerup and Team Powerup.
  4. The Effect Text:
    Details the effect of the card when it’s activated.
  5. Uses:
    Some Arsenal cards have hexagon shapes.  These hexagons represent how many times the card’s effect can be used.
  6. Ranger Team:
    This symbol indicates which Ranger team the Arsenal card comes from.  Please note that you DO NOT need to have a Ranger from the specified team in order to obtain any Arsenal Card.

Card Types

Armor

Armor:

  • Armor Arsenal cards can be used multiple times.  The number of uses is dependent on how many hexagons are located on the card.  Each hexagon represents one use.
  • Place an Energy Token in each hexagon.  When the card’s effect is used, remove one Energy Token.  When all Energy Tokens have been removed, the card cannot be used anymore, and is discarded.

Powerup

Powerup:

  • Powerup Arsenal Cards have effects that can only be used once before being discarded.
  • Rangers do not need to use the effect right away, and may save it for a future battle.

Team Powerup

Team Powerup:

  • Team Powerup Arsenal cards have effects that must be used in the next battle after being obtained.  It is therefore important to purchase the card at the most opportune time.
  • When activated, these cards remain in effect for the entire battle.
