Is Azuki’s Defender like blocking in Runeterra?
PartlyPartly. Any Runeterra unit can block an attacker in front of it. Only Azuki entities with Defender can take an attack, and doing so taps them.
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
- The defending player decides who takes the hit.
Different
- In Runeterra every unit can block. In the Azuki TCG blocking is a keyword.
- A Runeterra attacker with Elusive can only be blocked by Elusive units. An Azuki attacker with Infiltrate can’t be redirected by any Defender.
Legends of Runeterra: checked against the Riot: Legends of Runeterra keywords. Azuki TCG: printed card text and the rules.
