Character Card
Victor, subtitled "Master of Terror". The character card carries no rules text of its own. His rules are on the Styles and Bases board, the Finishers board, his Suggestion cards, his Transgression card, his Base card and the Disruptor / Advanced card.
Styles and Bases Board
The Styles side of the board shows five Style rows. Each row's stat bands give the Style's Range, Power, Priority and Guard as printed on the board: blue is Range, red is Power, yellow is Priority and green is Guard. The Bases side shows two Base rows, the top one being Victor's own "?" Base (see the Base card section below) and the bottom one an unnamed Base.
Styles (top to bottom):
- Row 1, Stun Immunity. Range +0~1, Power -1, Priority +0, Guard shield icon (no number printed). When you are hit, +3 Power.
