Is Azuki’s Carapace like Resistance in Pokémon?
PartlyPartly. Resistance takes a fixed amount off damage from attacks of one type. Carapace takes it off all damage, from any source.
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 are a flat reduction, not a pool.
Different
- Pokémon attacks only apply Resistance against the listed type, and don’t apply Resistance to Benched Pokémon unless a card says otherwise. Carapace works in any zone against every source, card effects included.
- Carapace stacks from several cards. Resistance is printed once.
Pokémon TCG: checked against the Pokémon TCG rulebook. Azuki TCG: printed card text and the rules.
