At what point do combat modifiers take effect?
At step 5: RESOLVE COMBAT. No matter what cards are played, they all take effect after they are all played. Because timing rules are built in (since players take turns modifying the combat) cards played are still”last in, first out” (see above). However, questions can come up with cards that are already there. For instance, suppose a warrior with TICKER is in combat with a warrior with a PERSONAL ANTI-PERSONNEL MINE. If both are used during the combat, the TICKER will cancel out the effects of the PA-PM, no matter who”engaged” their equipment first, becasue nothing takes effect until Step 5: RESOLVE COMBAT.
