  • Frequently Asked Questions

    • Does "followers that cost at least 5 play points destroyed this match" count followers that originally cost at least 5 play points?

      Followers that originally cost at least 5 play points will be counted.

       

      Example:

      If an Absolute Tolerance has been destroyed, since it originally costs 30 play points, it will count towards “followers that cost at least 5 play points destroyed this match.”

    • About Stack

      When played, Earth Sigil amulets with Stack will banish all other allied Earth Sigil amulets in play, adding the total Stack count of those amulets to their own Stack.

       

      When you perform “Earth Rite,” 1 will be subtracted from your area’s total Stack. When you perform “Earth Rite (2),” 2 will be subtracted instead. Once a card’s Stack reaches 0, the card is destroyed.

       

      Earth Sigils without the Stack keyword will be treated as having a Stack of 1, but are unaffected by effects that add to your Stack.

    • When I evolved one of the Prophetic Dragons summoned by Prophetic Dragon's Fanfare effect, its defense did not change.

      Prophetic Dragon’s Fanfare effect is as follows:

      “Summon 2 Prophetic Dragons and change their defense to X. X equals this follower’s defense.”

       

      Effects that change a follower’s attack or defense remain in effect even after the follower evolves. Prophetic Dragons summoned by the Fanfare effect will have the “change their defense to X” effect applied to both the pre-evolve and evolved forms.

    • I didn't get the leader even though I got the leader card.

      To receive a leader, you must get the leader card version of the card. In the card sets listed below, cards with both a regular version and a leader card version can be drawn. Please check whether or not the card you drew is the leader card version.

    • I added Lucifer, Fallen Angel to my hand through the effect of Fruits of Wisdom, but its cost was reduced more than the number of times my followers have evolved.

      Newly activated effects cannot be resolved while there is a sequence of effects that are still being resolved. Due to this, there may be cases where the amount that Lucifer, Fallen Angel’s cost is reduced does not match up with the number of times that allied followers have evolved this match.

       

      The following is an example of how the effects would be resolved if Lucifer, Fallen Angel were drawn from the effect of a fused Fruits of Wisdom:

      *Two cards are fused to Fruits of Wisdom in this example.

      *The number of times that allied followers have evolved this match is 1 at the start of this example.

       

      1. You play Fruits of Wisdom. The following effects are set to be resolved:

      (a) Draw 2 cards. (Fruits of Wisdom)

      (b) If this card is fused with at least 2 cards, summon an Assembly Droid and evolve it. (Fruits of Wisdom)

       

      2. Fruits of Wisdom’s “Draw 2 cards.” effect activates, and Lucifer, Fallen Angel is drawn as one of the two drawn cards. Then, due to the condition being met, Lucifer, Fallen Angel’s “if X is greater than 0, reveal it and subtract X from its cost.” effect is added to the sequence of resolution:

      (b) If this card is fused with at least 2 cards, summon an Assembly Droid and evolve it. (Fruits of Wisdom)

      (c) If X is greater than 0, reveal it and subtract X from its cost. (Lucifer, Fallen Angel)

       

      3. The next effect in the sequence activates, so an Assembly Droid is summoned and is evolved. This then meets the conditions for Lucifer, Fallen Angel’s second effect, which gets added to the resolution sequence:

      (c) If X is greater than 0, reveal it and subtract X from its cost. (Lucifer, Fallen Angel)

      (d) Subtract 1 from the cost of this card. (Lucifer, Fallen Angel)

       

      4. The next effect in the sequence activates, and since X (the number of times that allied followers have evolved this match) is equal to 2 (X=1 at the start of the example, and X=2 with the resolution of Step 3), Lucifer, Fallen Angel’s cost is reduced by 2 to become a cost of 8.

      At this point, the following effect is still awaiting resolution:

      (d) Subtract 1 from the cost of this card. (Lucifer, Fallen Angel)

       

      5. The last effect in the sequence activates and reduces Lucifer, Fallen Angel’s cost by 1 more, resulting in a final cost of 7.

    • Ladica, Verdant Claw's effect did not activate.

      Ladica, Verdant Claw’s effect activates when a card you play is the fourth, eighth, or twelfth card you’ve played that turn.

       

      When played together with cards that increase the number of cards played that turn, such as Heroic Resolve, there may be cases where Ladica, Verdant Claw’s effect doesn’t activate.

       

      Example:

      Assuming Ladica, Verdant Claw is already in play,

      1. You play a Fairy. The number of cards played this turn is now 1.

      2. You play another Fairy. The number of cards played this turn is now 2.

      3. You play Heroic Resolve. The number of cards played this turn is now 3.

      4. Heroic Resolve’s effect activates. The number of cards played this turn is now 4.

      5. You play another Fairy. The number of cards played this turn is now 5.

      6. Since the Fairy you just played was not the fourth card played this turn, you will not recover 3 play points through Ladica, Verdant Claw’s effect.

    • Wicked Rebirth did not summon 2 followers.

      Wicked Rebirth’s skill is as shown below:

      ——

      Destroy an allied follower.

      Summon a copy of an allied follower that costs 2 play points or less and had Last Words when it was destroyed this match. Give it +3/+0 and Rush.

      If at least 5 allied cards had Last Words when they were destroyed this match, draw 2 cards.

      If at least 10 allied cards had Last Words, summon copies of 2 allied followers instead of 1.

      ——

      Even if the condition to summon 2 allied followers that cost 2 play points or less and had Last Words is met, if only one follower that meets this condition has been destroyed, then only one follower will be summoned. Only when two or more followers that meet this condition have been destroyed will two copies be summoned.

    • Alberta, the Autumnblade isn’t coming into play after I play four cards.

      When Alberta, the Autumnblade gives your leader the effect “summon an Alberta, the Autumnblade, then remove this effect,” it will only activate upon playing your fourth card during your turn.

       

      Effects that increase the number of cards you have played during a turn only activate after the card is played. As such, when trying to use Alberta, the Autumnblade’s effect with other cards, such as Primordial Colossus, there are some cases where the effect will not activate.

       

      Example 1

      Primordial Colossus has already been played and your leader has the effect “once on each of your turns, when you play a card, recover 2 play points and add 2 to the number of cards played this turn.”

      1. You play a Fairy.

      The number of cards played this turn is now 1.

      2. The effect “add 2 to the number of cards played this turn” activates.

      The number of cards played this turn is now 3.

      3. You play another Fairy.

      The number of cards played this turn is now 4.

      4. As this Fairy is considered as the fourth card you have played this turn, the effect “summon an Alberta, the Autumnblade, then remove this effect” will activate.

       

      Example 2

      Primordial Colossus has yet to be played, and your leader does not have the effect “once on each of your turns, when you play a card, recover 2 play points and add 2 to the number of cards played this turn.”

      1. You play Primordial Colossus.

      The number of cards played this turn is now 1.

      2. You play a Fairy.

      The number of cards played this turn is now 2.

      3. As you have played a card, 2 is added to the number of cards played this turn.

      The number of cards played this turn is now 4.

      4. You play another Fairy.

      The number of cards played this turn is now 5.

      5. As this Fairy now counts as your fifth card, the effect “whenever you play a card, if it is the fourth card you have played this turn, summon an Alberta, the Autumnblade, then remove this effect” will not activate.

       

    • How many card pack points will I earn from purchasing a Purchase Bonus Included! Eternal Awakening 10 card pack bundle?

      You will earn 10 card pack points for each bundle purchased.

    • Will Granblue Fantasy Leader Pack 2 be discounted if I've already purchased one or more of the leader sets individually?

      If you’ve already purchased one or more leader sets included in Granblue Fantasy Leader Pack 2 individually, the cost of the pack will be reduced by 400 crystals for each leader set you’ve already purchased.

      However, if you’ve already purchased 9 out of the 10 leader sets available, the Leader Pack will cost the full price of the remaining set, 500 crystals.

    • How long will I be able to use temporary cards obtained from Eternal Awakening temporary decks?

      Temporary cards obtained from Eternal Awakening Temporary Decks were available for use until the release of Darkness Over Vellsar.

    • Cards with Maneuver

      Q: If followers that meet Maneuver conditions come into play via an effect, will they be able to Maneuver other followers?

      A: Yes. When followers that meet Maneuver conditions come into play, even via card effects, Maneuver can be used.

       

      Q: If a follower that meets Maneuver conditions comes into play while a follower with Maneuver is already in play, will the Fanfare or Enhance effects of the follower that has just come into play activate?

      A: Yes, they will.

       

      Q: If a follower that meets Maneuver conditions comes into play and then leaves play to control a follower with Maneuver, will effects that activate when a card leaves play trigger?

      A: No, they won’t.

       

      Q: If a follower that meets Maneuver conditions comes into play and leaves play to control a follower with Maneuver, will you gain shadows?

      A: No, you won’t.

       

      Q: Can followers that come into play via Invocation effects Maneuver followers?

      A: Yes, they can.

       

      Q: Can followers with Maneuver control other followers with Maneuver?

      A: Yes, they can.

    • Maneuvering and Alighting

      Q: When a follower alights from the follower it’s Maneuvering, will effects that activate on coming into play trigger?

      A: No, they won’t.

       

      Q: If a follower gains effects from their Fanfare before Maneuvering another follower, will those effects remain after it  alights from the follower it’s Maneuvering?

      B: No, they won’t.

       

      Q: If a follower was evolved before Maneuvering another follower, will it come back into play evolved after it  alights from the follower it’s Maneuvering?

      A: No, it won’t.

       

      Q: When a follower with Maneuver is transformed or banished while it is being controlled, what will happen to the controlling follower?

      A: If the follower with Maneuver was transformed, the controlling follower will not come back into play.

      If it was banished, the controlling follower will come back into play.

       

      Q: When a follower with Maneuver loses its effects while being controlled, will the controlling follower come back into play? Also, if the follower with Maneuver leaves play after it loses its effects, will the controlling follower come back into play?

      A: In both cases, the answer is no.

       

      Q: When a follower with Maneuver is returned to hand while being controlled, will the controlling follower come back into play?

      A: Yes, it will.

    • If a Regal Wildcat stops Maneuvering a Val, Trusty Getaway Car, will the Regal Wildcat's Storm effect activate?

      Yes, it will.

    • Following the August 19 update, does Loki's effect apply to Enhance Fanfare effects?

      Loki’s effect will not repeat Enhance Fanfare effects.

       

      If the next follower you play has any non-Enhance Fanfare effects (excluding Choose and targeted effects), Loki’s effect will repeat them once.

       

      However, even if that follower only has Enhance Fanfare effects, it counts as a “follower with Fanfare effects (excluding Choose and targeted effects)”, so Loki’s effect will still be used up.

    • If 9 allied followers have came into play when I play Ernesta, Weapons Hawker will her Rally effect activate?

      No. If only 9 allied followers have come into play when you play Ernesta, Weapons Hawker, her Rally effect will not activate.

       

      Rally effects count the number of allied followers that have come into play at the time the card is played. Followers that have Rally as a Fanfare effect will not count themselves for their Rally effect.

    • If I have 3 other cards with both Machina and Natura traits when I play Changewing Cherub, will both Fanfare effects activate?

      1 card with both Machina and Natura traits will count as 1 Machina card and 1 Natura card.
      So even if you have only 3 other cards, if they have both traits then both of Changewing Cherub’s Fanfare effects will activate.

    • If Natur Al'machinus is fused with only 1 card that has both Machina and Natura traits will it still subtract 3 from the cost of the card put into my hand?

      Yes! If Natur Al’machinus is fused with a card with both traits it will satisfy the requirements of being fused with a Machina card and being fused with a Natura card.

    • I can't update the app on iOS.

  • Known Bugs

    • Bug List

      WHIRLWIND RHINOCEROACH DISPLAY ISSUE

      When you have played Whirlwind Rhinoceroach for the fifth time during the match and return the Whirlwind Rhinoceroach in play back into your hand, the card’s frame won’t glow in yellow.

      Please note that the card’s effect itself is working properly; only the display issue is present.

       

      GIFT FOR BLOODKIN BATTLE LOG DISPLAY ISSUE

      When you play Gift for Bloodkin, it shows on the battle log that both Forest Bats have been summoned for the leader that played the card.

      Please note that the card’s effect itself is working properly; only the display issue is present.

       

      LEADER EFFECTS DISPLAY ISSUE

      When a leader without any active effect gains an effect while you have the leader selected, the active effect may not be properly reflected on the leader effects display.

       

      OPEN 6 DISPLAY ISSUE

      Effects on the class selection screen may not display correctly on some devices. This is a display issue only and the actual feature itself is working as intended.

       

      ISSUE WITH BEING UNABLE TO MOVE PAST THE REDRAW SCREEN

      The game won’t move past the card redraw screen if players have been using another app to make a call at the same time. We recommend that players avoid making calls while playing matches. This issue can be resolved by restarting Shadowverse and reentering the match within the allotted time.

       

      ISSUES WITH MUSIC AND CUTSCENES

      There may be instances where the music has static, or cutscenes experience blips or get cut off. This is caused by heavy load on your device’s memory and can be resolved by shutting down other apps to free up space.

       

      ISSUES WITH THE WINNER PREDICTION EVENT

      When you jump to an external webpage through the link within the event banner more than twice and then try to place your vote, you will get a message asking you to try again shortly.

       

      This issue can be resolved by closing the message and voting again.

       

      You can see if your vote was counted successfully by tapping on the banner again after voting—you will see an image of the player you voted for.

       

      CARDS PLAYED FREEZING IN PLACE

      When you play a card immediately after attacking with a follower in play, and then open the Battle Menu while the card you played is at the upper left side of the screen, the card may freeze in place and become unplayable.

       

      Example:

      Assume you already have a Water Fairy in play.

      1. Attack with Water Fairy.
      2. Play a Fairy right after you’ve attacked with Water Fairy.
      3. Open the Battle Menu while the Fairy is at the upper left of the screen.
      4. The Fairy becomes frozen in place and is rendered unplayable.

       

      GAME FREEZING

      When you play a card that returns a follower to your hand right after you play another follower, and the second card moves to the upper left corner of the screen, the game freezes and you are unable to continue the match.

       

      Example:

      1. Play two or more Fairies.
      2. While the played Fairy is moving to the upper-left corner of the screen, you play Ancient Elf.
      3. The game freezes.

       

      Affected Cards:

      – Ancient Elf

      – King Elephant

      – Cinderella

      – Homecoming

      – Fairy Torrent

       

      You can resolve the issue by closing and restarting the app within the time limit. This will be resolved in a future update.

       

      UNABLE TO RETURN TO SUSPENDED MATCHES

      Under some conditions, you may not be able to return to suspended matches. This issue was partially resolved in the June 28, 2017 update, but there is a possibility that similar issues might occur.

  • Card Effects

    • Does "followers that cost at least 5 play points destroyed this match" count followers that originally cost at least 5 play points?

      Followers that originally cost at least 5 play points will be counted.

       

      Example:

      If an Absolute Tolerance has been destroyed, since it originally costs 30 play points, it will count towards “followers that cost at least 5 play points destroyed this match.”

    • When I evolved one of the Prophetic Dragons summoned by Prophetic Dragon's Fanfare effect, its defense did not change.

      Prophetic Dragon’s Fanfare effect is as follows:

      “Summon 2 Prophetic Dragons and change their defense to X. X equals this follower’s defense.”

       

      Effects that change a follower’s attack or defense remain in effect even after the follower evolves. Prophetic Dragons summoned by the Fanfare effect will have the “change their defense to X” effect applied to both the pre-evolve and evolved forms.

    • When your leader is given the effect "When you reach the Reaper at the bottom of your deck, reduce your leader's maximum defense by 5 instead of losing the match" and your deck is at 0 cards, how much will your leader's maximum defense be reduced by if a card's effect causes you to draw two or more cards at the same time?

      It will be reduced by 5.

    • I added Lucifer, Fallen Angel to my hand through the effect of Fruits of Wisdom, but its cost was reduced more than the number of times my followers have evolved.

      Newly activated effects cannot be resolved while there is a sequence of effects that are still being resolved. Due to this, there may be cases where the amount that Lucifer, Fallen Angel’s cost is reduced does not match up with the number of times that allied followers have evolved this match.

       

      The following is an example of how the effects would be resolved if Lucifer, Fallen Angel were drawn from the effect of a fused Fruits of Wisdom:

      *Two cards are fused to Fruits of Wisdom in this example.

      *The number of times that allied followers have evolved this match is 1 at the start of this example.

       

      1. You play Fruits of Wisdom. The following effects are set to be resolved:

      (a) Draw 2 cards. (Fruits of Wisdom)

      (b) If this card is fused with at least 2 cards, summon an Assembly Droid and evolve it. (Fruits of Wisdom)

       

      2. Fruits of Wisdom’s “Draw 2 cards.” effect activates, and Lucifer, Fallen Angel is drawn as one of the two drawn cards. Then, due to the condition being met, Lucifer, Fallen Angel’s “if X is greater than 0, reveal it and subtract X from its cost.” effect is added to the sequence of resolution:

      (b) If this card is fused with at least 2 cards, summon an Assembly Droid and evolve it. (Fruits of Wisdom)

      (c) If X is greater than 0, reveal it and subtract X from its cost. (Lucifer, Fallen Angel)

       

      3. The next effect in the sequence activates, so an Assembly Droid is summoned and is evolved. This then meets the conditions for Lucifer, Fallen Angel’s second effect, which gets added to the resolution sequence:

      (c) If X is greater than 0, reveal it and subtract X from its cost. (Lucifer, Fallen Angel)

      (d) Subtract 1 from the cost of this card. (Lucifer, Fallen Angel)

       

      4. The next effect in the sequence activates, and since X (the number of times that allied followers have evolved this match) is equal to 2 (X=1 at the start of the example, and X=2 with the resolution of Step 3), Lucifer, Fallen Angel’s cost is reduced by 2 to become a cost of 8.

      At this point, the following effect is still awaiting resolution:

      (d) Subtract 1 from the cost of this card. (Lucifer, Fallen Angel)

       

      5. The last effect in the sequence activates and reduces Lucifer, Fallen Angel’s cost by 1 more, resulting in a final cost of 7.

    • Ladica, Verdant Claw's effect did not activate.

      Ladica, Verdant Claw’s effect activates when a card you play is the fourth, eighth, or twelfth card you’ve played that turn.

       

      When played together with cards that increase the number of cards played that turn, such as Heroic Resolve, there may be cases where Ladica, Verdant Claw’s effect doesn’t activate.

       

      Example:

      Assuming Ladica, Verdant Claw is already in play,

      1. You play a Fairy. The number of cards played this turn is now 1.

      2. You play another Fairy. The number of cards played this turn is now 2.

      3. You play Heroic Resolve. The number of cards played this turn is now 3.

      4. Heroic Resolve’s effect activates. The number of cards played this turn is now 4.

      5. You play another Fairy. The number of cards played this turn is now 5.

      6. Since the Fairy you just played was not the fourth card played this turn, you will not recover 3 play points through Ladica, Verdant Claw’s effect.

    • Leod, Moonlit Executioner lost Ambush without attacking.

      When the effect “At the start of your turn, deal 1 damage to all enemies” activates, Leod, Moonlit Executioner will lose Ambush.

    • Wicked Rebirth did not summon 2 followers.

      Wicked Rebirth’s skill is as shown below:

      ——

      Destroy an allied follower.

      Summon a copy of an allied follower that costs 2 play points or less and had Last Words when it was destroyed this match. Give it +3/+0 and Rush.

      If at least 5 allied cards had Last Words when they were destroyed this match, draw 2 cards.

      If at least 10 allied cards had Last Words, summon copies of 2 allied followers instead of 1.

      ——

      Even if the condition to summon 2 allied followers that cost 2 play points or less and had Last Words is met, if only one follower that meets this condition has been destroyed, then only one follower will be summoned. Only when two or more followers that meet this condition have been destroyed will two copies be summoned.

    • What counts as a follower with Last Words for Otherworld Gatekeeper?

      For cards like Forlorn Necromancer, a “follower with Last Words” is a card in play that currently has a Last Words effect.

       

      For Otherworld Gatekeeper, the follower from your deck can have a Last Words effect either while it’s unevolved or evolved.

       

      For example, Otherworld Gatekeeper could put a Master Sleuth from your deck into play.

    • How do Whims of Chaos and Rite of the Ignorant interact with each other?

      The two leader effects will interact differently depending on the order they are played.

       

      If you play Rite of the Ignorant then Whims of Chaos, the following example could happen.

       

      1. Rite of the Ignorant activates, putting a Dimension Shift into your hand.

      Rite of the Ignorant then queues up Spellboosting it 5 times.

      Dimension Shift at this point still costs 20.

       

      2. Whims of Chaos randomly changes the cost of Dimension Shift to 8.

       

      3. Rite of the Ignorant’s queued up Spellboost effect now activates, Spellboosting Dimension Shift 5 times.

      Dimension Shift now costs 3.

       

      If you play Whims of Chaos then Rite of the Ignorant, the following would happen.

       

      1. Whims of Chaos’s effect activates.

       

      2. Rite of the Ignorant activates, putting a Dimension Shift into your hand.

      Rite of the Ignorant then queues up Spellboosting it 5 times.

      Dimension Shift at this point still costs 20.

       

      3. Rite of the Ignorant’s queued up Spellboost effect activates, Spellboosting Dimension Shift 5 times.

      Dimension Shift now costs 15.

    • Alberta, the Autumnblade isn’t coming into play after I play four cards.

      When Alberta, the Autumnblade gives your leader the effect “summon an Alberta, the Autumnblade, then remove this effect,” it will only activate upon playing your fourth card during your turn.

       

      Effects that increase the number of cards you have played during a turn only activate after the card is played. As such, when trying to use Alberta, the Autumnblade’s effect with other cards, such as Primordial Colossus, there are some cases where the effect will not activate.

       

      Example 1

      Primordial Colossus has already been played and your leader has the effect “once on each of your turns, when you play a card, recover 2 play points and add 2 to the number of cards played this turn.”

      1. You play a Fairy.

      The number of cards played this turn is now 1.

      2. The effect “add 2 to the number of cards played this turn” activates.

      The number of cards played this turn is now 3.

      3. You play another Fairy.

      The number of cards played this turn is now 4.

      4. As this Fairy is considered as the fourth card you have played this turn, the effect “summon an Alberta, the Autumnblade, then remove this effect” will activate.

       

      Example 2

      Primordial Colossus has yet to be played, and your leader does not have the effect “once on each of your turns, when you play a card, recover 2 play points and add 2 to the number of cards played this turn.”

      1. You play Primordial Colossus.

      The number of cards played this turn is now 1.

      2. You play a Fairy.

      The number of cards played this turn is now 2.

      3. As you have played a card, 2 is added to the number of cards played this turn.

      The number of cards played this turn is now 4.

      4. You play another Fairy.

      The number of cards played this turn is now 5.

      5. As this Fairy now counts as your fifth card, the effect “whenever you play a card, if it is the fourth card you have played this turn, summon an Alberta, the Autumnblade, then remove this effect” will not activate.

       

    • What happens when an allied Artifact follower comes into play while an allied crystallized Mobilized Factory is in play?

      In addition to the Artifact follower gaining Rush, you will recover 1 play point and draw a card.

    • Can my follower with both Ambush and Ward be attacked by an enemy follower?

      If a follower has both Ambush and Ward, Ward will be inactive as long as Ambush is active.
      After the follower loses Ambush (such as by attacking), Ward will become active.

    • Why did Bahamut, Primeval Dragon's Fanfare effect only deal 6 damage to the enemy leader after dealing 3 damage to VIII. Sofina, Strength?

      If VIII. Sofina, Strength is the only enemy follower in play, the pool of 12 damage will be divided before being dealt to it and the enemy leader. Therefore, 6 damage will be dealt to the enemy leader even though VIII. Sofina, Strength can’t take more than 3 damage at a time.

       

    • If Eahta, God of the Blade's Super Skybound Art reduces the cost of another Eahta, God of the Blade in my deck to 3, can it be put into play with Courtly Dance's Enhance effect?

      Yes.

    • Why didn't my Walder, Forest Ranger get invoked?

      Walder, Forest Ranger’s Invocation effect activates the second time you play a card using its Accelerate effect within the same turn. If you have a full play area when initially playing your second Accelerate effect, even if that Accelerate would open up space, Walder will not be invoked and won’t be invoked upon subsequent Accelerate effects.

    • If the conditions for a Super Skybound Art are met, will both the Skybound Art and Super Skybound Art effects activate?

      Yes. The Super Skybound Art effect will activate after the Skybound Art effect.

    • Cards with Maneuver

      Q: If followers that meet Maneuver conditions come into play via an effect, will they be able to Maneuver other followers?

      A: Yes. When followers that meet Maneuver conditions come into play, even via card effects, Maneuver can be used.

       

      Q: If a follower that meets Maneuver conditions comes into play while a follower with Maneuver is already in play, will the Fanfare or Enhance effects of the follower that has just come into play activate?

      A: Yes, they will.

       

      Q: If a follower that meets Maneuver conditions comes into play and then leaves play to control a follower with Maneuver, will effects that activate when a card leaves play trigger?

      A: No, they won’t.

       

      Q: If a follower that meets Maneuver conditions comes into play and leaves play to control a follower with Maneuver, will you gain shadows?

      A: No, you won’t.

       

      Q: Can followers that come into play via Invocation effects Maneuver followers?

      A: Yes, they can.

       

      Q: Can followers with Maneuver control other followers with Maneuver?

      A: Yes, they can.

    • Maneuvering and Alighting

      Q: When a follower alights from the follower it’s Maneuvering, will effects that activate on coming into play trigger?

      A: No, they won’t.

       

      Q: If a follower gains effects from their Fanfare before Maneuvering another follower, will those effects remain after it  alights from the follower it’s Maneuvering?

      B: No, they won’t.

       

      Q: If a follower was evolved before Maneuvering another follower, will it come back into play evolved after it  alights from the follower it’s Maneuvering?

      A: No, it won’t.

       

      Q: When a follower with Maneuver is transformed or banished while it is being controlled, what will happen to the controlling follower?

      A: If the follower with Maneuver was transformed, the controlling follower will not come back into play.

      If it was banished, the controlling follower will come back into play.

       

      Q: When a follower with Maneuver loses its effects while being controlled, will the controlling follower come back into play? Also, if the follower with Maneuver leaves play after it loses its effects, will the controlling follower come back into play?

      A: In both cases, the answer is no.

       

      Q: When a follower with Maneuver is returned to hand while being controlled, will the controlling follower come back into play?

      A: Yes, it will.

    • If a Regal Wildcat stops Maneuvering a Val, Trusty Getaway Car, will the Regal Wildcat's Storm effect activate?

      Yes, it will.

    • Bone Fanatic was played for its Enhance cost while a Dutiful Steed was in play. The Dutiful Steed was banished without giving the Bone Fanatic +1/+1.

      Dutiful Steed’s effect activates when an allied follower comes into play. That is why when a follower transforms on coming into play, the following things happen, and it appears as though the +1/+1 effect hasn’t activated.

       

      1. Bone Fanatic is played for its Enhance cost. The following actions are pending:
      -Bone Fanatic’s Fanfare Enhance effect.
      -Dutiful Steed’s effect.

       

      2. Bone Fanatic’s Enhance effect activates, transforming it into a Giant Skull.

       

      3. Dutiful Steed’s effect activates for Bone Fanatic, but since the card is no longer there, it looks as though the effect has not activated.

       

      4. Since an allied follower has come into play, Dutiful Steed is banished.

    • If Gold Rush Ghost's evolve effects have activated all 4 times, and another Gold Rush Ghost is evolved afterward, will the same leader effects reactivate?

      No, it won’t.

    • Following the August 19 update, does Loki's effect apply to Enhance Fanfare effects?

      Loki’s effect will not repeat Enhance Fanfare effects.

       

      If the next follower you play has any non-Enhance Fanfare effects (excluding Choose and targeted effects), Loki’s effect will repeat them once.

       

      However, even if that follower only has Enhance Fanfare effects, it counts as a “follower with Fanfare effects (excluding Choose and targeted effects)”, so Loki’s effect will still be used up.

    • If 9 allied followers have came into play when I play Ernesta, Weapons Hawker will her Rally effect activate?

      No. If only 9 allied followers have come into play when you play Ernesta, Weapons Hawker, her Rally effect will not activate.

       

      Rally effects count the number of allied followers that have come into play at the time the card is played. Followers that have Rally as a Fanfare effect will not count themselves for their Rally effect.

    • Why was only one follower reanimated when I played VI. Milteo, The Lovers?

      When the fanfare effect of VI. Milteo, The Lovers activates, it first decides the values of X and Y at random between 0 and 6. It then checks and reanimates followers that can be reanimated with the given values. This may result in only one follower being reanimated.

       

      Example: A 2-play point Follower and a 4-play point follower have been destroyed this match. At random Milteo’s Reanimate (X) is set to 1 and Reanimate (Y) is set to 5. In this case only one follower will be reanimated since Reanimate (X) will not have a follower that costs 1 or less play points to reanimate.

    • Why did Alchemical Confectioner put a Wildfire Tyrannosaur follower and a Wildfire Tyrannosaur spell into my hand?

      When Wildfire Tyrannosaur is accelerated, it is played as a spell card called Wildfire Tyrannosaur. Although they have the same name, the follower Wildfire Tyrannosaur and spell Wildfire Tyrannosaur are considered 2 different cards.

       

      If you play Treacherous Reversal, it will be possible for Alchemical Confectioner to put both versions of Wildfire Tyrannosaur into your hand.
