FFTCG FAQ

Hi everyone! Matt here from Six Sages Gaming. I wanted to take the time and address some of the Frequently Asked Questions that I’ve noticed between multiple social outlets. This list is a work in progress and I hope you will let us know if you have any more questions that you would like to see added. Check back in the future for updates and additional questions being asked!

Answers from this guide are found from either the starter deck guide or from the game creator himself via twitter.

General

Q: When spell or ability says to Search, what does that mean?

A: Search means you look through your deck for a card, reveal it, and shuffle your deck afterwards. The deck is the only zone where you search for cards.

Q: What is a character card?

A: Forward and Backups.

Q: If a unique character (i.e. Yuna) has a backup and forward, can I play them both in the field at the same time?

A: No. Unique characters must follow the “one in play at a time rule” regardless of which zone they’re in. You can only have one in play or the other at a time.

Q: I have 5 backups. Can I play a 6th?

A: No. The limits to backups is 5. You cannot play the 6th from your hand unless you destroy one of your backups by a spell or effect (Archer, Delita, etc.)

Combat

Q: What happens when my opponent blocks my forward and then I use a spell or ability to remove it?

A: The attack is still considered blocked and your opponent will not take any damage

Q: When my forward takes damage from a spell or ability, does it deal less damage?

A: No – Power references both attack and health and these numbers are independent of one another.

Q: When my forward gains +2000 power, does that change his attack or health?

A: Both! When a forward gains power by a spell or ability, it increases the overall stats of the card.

Q: When my forward loses 5000 power does this shrink his damage and health?

A: Yes. Applying negative power to a forward will both decrease health and attack for the duration of that spell or ability.

Q: If I attack with a forward, and activate it with a spell or ability, can it attack again?

A: No. Forward can only attack once per turn unless otherwise stated on the card.

Spells and Abilities

Q: If I target my opponents forward with a spell or ability, and they use a spell or ability to make it untargetable, what happens?

A: The spell or ability will lose the target and be discarded to the break zone. The spell or ability will not resolve.

Q: My oppoenent Froze one of my forward, but it was never dulled. Can I attack with it on my next turn?

A: Yes. Freezing a forward only prevents it going from dull to active during the active phase. They will be able to attack on the next turn.
