Character Card
Merjoram Alexian, Crown Princess of Jeffreys. The character card carries no stats or rules text of its own; it shows only her art and name. Her rules are on the Styles and Bases board, the Finishers and Bases board, the attack cards and the Tactics cards.
Styles and Bases Board
The Styles and Bases board has a Styles column of five rows and a Bases column beside it. In the Styles column each row's stat bands give the modifier to the Style's Range, Power, Priority and Guard: blue is Range, red is Power, yellow is Priority and green is Guard. The board prints no names for its Styles. Two Base cards sit in the Bases column: one beside the top Style row and one beside the bottom Style row.
Styles (top to bottom):
- Row 1. Range +0, Power +0, Priority +0, Guard +2.

Attacks
Merjoram's attack cards shown in the scans are Foehammer and Blitzhammer. Both are also listed on the Finishers and Bases board (see below), which repeats their printed stats. Each card's footer reads "MERJORAM" and a small "SLO" mark at the lower right; the "SLO" mark is not explained on the cards.
Foehammer

- Priority: 3 with a ▲ symbol printed after it. The card does not explain the symbol.

- Hit: Push as far as possible.
- After: Close as far as possible.
The card also prints a flavour line, "My quest is not yet over...", and a boxed α icon in its lower-right corner. The card does not explain the α icon, so it is transcribed here as printed.
Blitzhammer
- Range: 1.
- Power: 3.
- Priority: 9 with a ▲ symbol printed after it. The card does not explain the symbol.

The card also prints a flavour line, "You call this a challenge?", and a boxed β icon in its lower-right corner. The card does not explain the β icon, so it is transcribed here as printed. The Finishers and Bases board words the Hit text as "Hit: You have +4 Priority next beat." The card text is transcribed as printed on the card.
Finishers and Bases Board
The Finishers and Bases board has a Finishers column on the left and a Bases column on the right, each with rows read top to bottom. In the Finishers column the stat bands give Range, Power, Priority and Guard as on the Styles board. In the Bases column they give the Base's Range, Power, Priority and Guard.

The Bases column's rows 3 and 4 print a stat block and an illustration with no text, so no rules are transcribed for them.
Tactics Cards
Merjoram has two Tactics cards. Each card's footer reads "MERJORAM (TACTICS CARD)" and a small "SLO" mark at the lower right; the "SLO" mark is not explained on the cards. Each card's flavour line is printed above its rules text and is not transcribed.
