Is an Azuki Response like a Secret in Hearthstone?
PartlyPartly. Secrets are cast on your own turn and trigger automatically later. Responses are chosen on the spot, when you see the attack.
Response in the Azuki TCG
Response cards and [Response] abilities are played by the defending player after an attack is declared, before Defender. You can play several during one attack, usually paying with IKZ you left untapped. The attacker never gets a response window, and spells never open one.
The same
- Both are how you interact on your opponent’s turn.
Different
- A Secret is paid for in advance and reveals itself when its condition happens. A Response is played and paid for when you’re attacked.
- You pick which Response to play after seeing the attacker and target. A Secret fires on whatever trips it first.
