Is Azuki’s Defender like Taunt in Hearthstone?
PartlyPartly. Taunt forces the attacker to pick it before attacking. Defender lets the defending player move an attack onto it after it’s declared. The Azuki TCG has a separate Taunt too.
Defender in the Azuki TCG
When an opposing attack is declared and Responses are done, you may tap one untapped Defender in your Garden to make it the attack’s new target. It’s your choice, made after you see the attack. Cooldown doesn’t stop it; Infiltrate does.
The same
- Both protect the leader or hero and your weaker units by putting a sturdy card in the way.
Different
- Taunt is decided by the attacker’s legal targets. Defender is the defender’s choice, after the attack and its responses.
- Using Defender taps it, so a Defender takes one attack each time it is untapped and is then attackable itself. Taunt works against every attack.
