Q&A

Even without a power cost 0 character card in your hand, you set up the game by placing a character card with a power cost of 1 or more, an enchant card or an area enchant card face down in the battle zone.
If you set an enchant or area enchant card, it goes to the power charger or abyss "immediately" when the game starts, and its effect can't be used even if its power cost is 0. Your attack this turn (turn 1) counts as 0, so you take your opponent's attack as it is.

Effects without a specified timing take effect at the "Character/enchant/area enchant effects" step.
Effects are resolved starting with the priority player (the player whose side the medal on the Chronos is on), and players may choose the order their own effects take effect in.

Generally, no.
If you set a new area enchant card while one is already out, they're swapped at the area enchant swap step after the turn starts. After that, only the newly set area enchant card's effect takes effect, if it can be used.
If an effect's timing is before the card swap, the area enchant card that was already out has its effect resolved, then the cards are swapped, and then the newly set area enchant card's effect is resolved.

No, you must always set at least 1 card from your hand.

A player who lost the previous turn may play up to 2 cards from their hand the next turn, but if you don't want to play 2, you can put just 1 card in the set zone. (You must always set at least 1.)
In this case you played 1 card from your hand, so you also draw 1 card from your deck at the end of the turn.

No. Using a card that needs power doesn't mean discarding cards from your power charger.
Cards in the power charger aren't moved unless a specific effect moves them, and their power (SEND TO POWER) keeps adding up.

No. The total SEND TO POWER of every card in the power charger, whatever its type, is the total power that player has.

Yes, both cards' effects take effect.
Even when you set 2 cards while preparing for the turn, power costs aren't added together. Each card is checked on its own.

No, it doesn't.
However, its clock still counts when the Chronos is moved, and it's still swapped into set zone C at the area enchant swap.
While its power cost isn't met, it isn't put in the power charger or abyss even when the conditions for that are met, and it stays in set zone C unless it's swapped out.
Once enough power has built up, its effect can take effect.

If it says it's put in the power charger or abyss "at the end of the turn", its effect can be used that turn.
If it says "immediately", or doesn't give a timing, it's put in the power charger or abyss as soon as the conditions are met, even before its effect takes effect.

Both cards' clocks count, so time moves forward by both at the start of the turn.
Then, if an area enchant card is already in set zone C, it's put in the power charger or abyss, and the area enchant card set in set zone A moves to set zone C and has its effect resolved, if it can be used.
The other area enchant card, set in set zone B, doesn't have its effect resolved and is put in the power charger or abyss at the end of the turn.

If it says "immediately", as soon as its end condition is met. If it says "at the end of the turn", at the end of the turn its end condition was met in. If it says neither, as a rule, as soon as its end condition is met.
However, if its power cost isn't met, it stays in set zone C even when its end condition is met.

No, it doesn't.
When you set 2 character cards, the one in set zone A is swapped in, and only the clock of the one in set zone B counts that turn. Its effect doesn't take effect even if its power cost is met, and it's put in the power charger or abyss at the end of the turn.

No, it can't.

Yes. Whether or not you have character cards in your hand, you can set a card that isn't a character, but your attack on turn 1 counts as 0.
Cards that aren't characters are still set in the battle zone on turn 1.

Yes, if their power costs are met.
However, effects that need a character card, such as raising attack, can't take effect as there's no card for them to apply to.
Your attack that turn is 0.

No. A character card without its power cost met can't use its effect or attack.

No. When it's put in the abyss by meeting its effect's condition, it doesn't count as power.
When it leaves the set zone other than by a card's effect, such as being swapped out when you set a different area enchant card, or at the start of the turn when it was set as your turn 1 card during game setup, it's put in the power charger, so its power counts.

You lose.
A player loses the moment their HP becomes 0, while with a deck of 0 cards, a player only loses if they can't draw at the end of the turn.

Yes, the priority player can change at each step.
At each step, the priority player is worked out from where the Chronos medal is, then effects are resolved.

Yes. Players can look at the cards in their own hand whenever they like, and can change the order of the cards however they like.
