Waters Taste of Ruin (Wounded Waters Bleeding)

Frequently Asked Questions

Elements and Elemental Thresholds

• Can you use the threshold effects of Innate Powers, even if you can't use the effects above them?
  Yes, each line is evaluated independently, depending on the Elements you activate the power with.

  (You are allowed to pretend you have fewer Elements than you actually have, but need to be consistent for the whole power.)

Power Cards

• How do Badlands / Flame's Fury work with "Veil the Night's Hunt"? How about Trickster's innate "Why Don't You and Them Fight"? Or (other Power that specifies unusual conditions on what can be damaged)?
  For "Veil the Night's Hunt," deal 1 bonus Damage to an Invader that's already taking Damage. (You can't use it to deal damage to more Invaders than there are Dahan in the land.) For Let's You and Them Fight, damage boosts can only apply to the Dahan and Invader taking damage from each other.

  Badlands and "Flame's Fury" respect limits on "What could this Power have damaged?" This may include caps on the number of Invaders being Damaged, or specification of exactly which Invader(s) are to be damaged.

  (For a few more examples of the same basic principle, you can take a look at the Horizons FAQ on boosting damage.)

• When Invaders deal Damage to each other, is that damage dealt simultaneously?
  Yes, Invaders can destroy each other this way.

  Damage from a single effect is done simultaneously. For instance, with the threshold effect of Dissolve the Bonds of Kinship, a City, a Town, and 5 Explorers can wipe each other out.

  For the special case involving Invaders with Strife, see here.

• For the base effect of "Instruments of Their Own Ruin," if there are multiple Invaders with Strife, do they deal Damage simultaneously? Can they deal Damage to each other?
  Yes and yes.

  So if you had a City, a Town, and an Explorer all with Strife, the Town + Explorer could destroy the City while the City destroyed the Town + Explorer.

  The same applies to the Terror Level III effects of the Fear cards "Discord" and "Theological Strife," and to the "Afflict with Bloodthirst" Innate Power of Wounded Waters Taste of Ruin.

Spirits and Innate Powers

• How many Healing Cards can Wounded Waters Bleeding claim?
  At most two.

  Both Serene Waters and Roiling Waters can only be claimed as a first Healing Card, and both Waters Renew and Waters Taste of Ruin can only be claimed as a final Healing Card.

  Though it’s not advantageous to do so, you can skip both Serene Waters and Roiling Waters to fully heal with only one Healing Card, or even never gain a Healing Card at all!
