HELP PHASE

STRIKE PHASE

Foe card equal to the DR of the SC played.
Some SC have the Ranged or Area Affect Trait.
Ranged Strikes do Damage to 2 Target Foes.

Defense rating it is destroyed (discarded).

Immediately draw an extra Aid card.

One target Vampire.

Shuffle any Foe cards in play back into the Foe deck.
