Now that you know the basics of Terrene Odyssey, let’s take a look at the deeper systems of the game. You can refer to the Videos for a visual guide.
Supply
Each Character takes up Supply. Some take up more then others. You can never control more then 4 Supply of Characters. If you are forced over Supply, you must dismiss down to 4 Supply Immediately.
Trigger Abilities
A Trigger Ability is an Ability that needs to meet a requirement to trigger. Most Trigger abilities have a cost Actions to activate but others may require other conditions (example: Deal damage to a Player)
Trigger Abilities resolve independent of their source. Even if a Character or Assigned Card is Dismissed or Defeated while resolving their effects, the effect will still resolve.
Character Classes
Every Character has a Class they belong to. Every Class has their own unique strengths and weaknesses.
There are 12 Character Classes in Terrene Odyssey:
- Warrior - Low DEF and high ATK. When they deal damage to players, their abilities trigger.
- Guardian - High DEF and low ATK. They are great at taking damage and keeping your party alive. They have simple Trigger Abilities to support your party.
- Tactician - Average Stats. They are great at giving you resource advantages. They can also use Trap – Command cards. Traps are situational but have highly rewarding effects.
- Thief - High HP and low ATK. They can steal resources from your opponent when they deal damage to other Characters.
