Is Azuki’s Rooted like Stun in Runeterra?
PartlyPartly. Stun stops a unit attacking and blocking this round and pulls it out of combat. Rooted only stops attacking, and a Rooted entity can still use Defender.
Rooted in the Azuki TCG
A Rooted card cannot attack until the start of the rooting player’s next turn. Nothing else changes: it keeps its abilities, can still use Defender, and takes damage normally. Sandcoil Python roots every opposing entity with base attack 3 or less, and The Pale Lady roots whatever leader or entity attacks her.
The same
- Both stop the unit attacking.
Different
- Stun also stops blocking. Rooted leaves Defender working.
- Stun is often used mid-combat to remove an attacker. Rooted is usually played on your turn to stop attacks on the next one.
