Thank you! With those clarifications, I was able to finish out a game. I got a win as Berserker on Normal difficulty. It was quite close--my HP were never in great danger from round to round, but my ability draw piles were almost exhausted and I'd never had a good opportunity to refresh them. So if I'd needed to go one more round, I would have been starved for cards to play and probably gotten wiped out from full health.
A couple more questions came up that didn't halt my game:
- Is it possible to mark damage on a non-boss enemy and dodge it, for the purpose of taking less damage when you finish the fight? The rules seemed quite insistent that only boss monsters get cumulative damage, so I wasn't sure if that was a legal play.
- When the dungeon graveyard shuffles back at the end of Tier 4, I'm guessing the previous tiers' jokers should not be included, right? 😅
