Is Azuki’s Frozen like Paralyzed in Pokémon?
PartlyPartly. A Paralyzed Pokémon can’t attack or retreat until its owner’s next turn ends. Frozen also stops attacks, but it also switches off abilities and stops all damage to the entity.
Frozen in the Azuki TCG
A Frozen entity cannot attack, cannot be damaged, and its abilities are disabled, for as long as the card that froze it says. Chilling Water freezes an opposing entity with cost 2 or less until the start of your next turn.
The same
- Both cost the card its next attack.
Different
- A Paralyzed Pokémon still takes damage and keeps its Abilities. A Frozen entity takes no damage and has no abilities.
- Paralysis also stops retreating. The Azuki TCG has no retreat; the closest loss is Defender, which Frozen also switches off.
- Paralysis is a Special Condition that comes off when the Pokémon moves to the Bench or evolves. Frozen ends when its card says.
