Card Icons
These are the icons that appear in the transcribed text. Only the first three rows are defined by the base game or by a word printed on the card. The rest are shown as their printed icons.
- Red figure (the villain icon): printed as the word "Villain" on the Turn bar. In the text it is written as "villain".
- Blue figure (the ally icon): printed as the word "Ally" on the Turn bar. In the text it is written as "ally".
- Hourglass icon: a Temporary effect, which lasts until the start of the next turn of the combatant that applied it (base rulebook, 5.2 Duration). In the text it is written as "Temporary effect".
- Cube icons (three on each Attack card, and one or two in some hero text): not defined on the card or in the base rulebook. They are written as "cube" in the text.
- Hero card stat row (four values, left to right): a weapon icon, a handshake icon, an eye icon and a book icon. The source does not name these stats, so they are listed by icon only.
- Roman numeral III in a circle (on each Attack card): the value printed in the circle. Its meaning is not defined in this source.
Heroes
Each hero has an Attack card and a Hero card. The Attack card is shown first, then the Hero card. The stat row on each Hero card lists the four values in the order of the Card Icons section.
