Muhammad Ali: Float Like a Butterfly...
Sting like a bee. Perhaps his most famous quote, it truly defines what made Ali the world's greatest boxer — his unmatched ability to dodge and weave, followed by a devastating punch.
Ali has a butterfly/bee token to indicate his current stance. At the start of the game, place the butterfly side face up. After each time Ali attacks, if he wins the combat, flip the token to switch stances. Remember, Ali wins combat if he deals any amount of combat damage to the opposing fighter (effect damage does not count). He does not switch stances if he loses the combat or if he was the defender.
Stances
Sting Like a Bee: While in this stance, Ali adds +2 to the value of his attacks. This bonus gets added when you apply combat damage after all DURING COMBAT effects are resolved.
Float Like a Butterfly: While in this stance, Ali can attack from up to two spaces away, ignoring the space in between. He does not need to be in the same zone as the defender. In this stance, he can attack any adjacent fighter as normal or one space farther.
Blue 'Butterfly' Effects
Additionally, some of Ali's cards have effects that only resolve if he is in the "Float Like a Butterfly" stance. Those effects have the butterfly icon and are in blue text. If Ali is in this stance, resolve all effects on the card. If he is not in this stance, only resolve the other effects, if any.
Example, the Ali card Stick and Move (cost 1):
- During combat (blue butterfly effect): The value of your opponent's card becomes its printed value and cannot change.
- After combat: Deal 1 damage to an adjacent fighter.
Character Card: Muhammad Ali
Ali's character card (Heroes, Attack: Melee, Start Health 16, Move 3) has the special ability A Beautiful Swing: Begin the game with your stance on Float Like a Butterfly. After you attack, if you won the combat, change stances.
- Float Like a Butterfly: You can attack from 2 spaces away.
- Sting Like a Bee: Add +2 to your attacks.
