Is Azuki’s Carapace like Tough in Runeterra?
MostlyMostly. Tough means a unit takes 1 less damage from all sources, the same as Carapace 1. Carapace carries a number and stacks; Tough is a single keyword.
Carapace in the Azuki TCG
Carapace N means the card takes N less damage from each damage source, combat or card effect. It never runs out, and it stacks: Carapace 1 plus Oathstone’s Carapace 1 is Carapace 2.
The same
- Both cut each instance of damage, from combat or spells, by a fixed amount.
Different
- Tough is always 1. Carapace has a number and stacks, so an entity can reach Carapace 2 or more.
- Runeterra damage on units stays between rounds. Azuki entity damage resets at the end of the turn.
Legends of Runeterra: checked against the Riot: Legends of Runeterra keywords. Azuki TCG: printed card text and the rules.
