Can an entity attack on the turn it comes through the Gate?
No. Every entity has cooldown on the turn it enters the Garden, even if it waited in the Alley for several turns. Only Charge lets it attack that turn.
Step by step
- You play an entity into the Alley. It can stay there as long as you like.
- On a later turn you tap your Gate and bring it into the Garden. Your Gate’s effect scales with that entity’s Gate Power.
- It entered the Garden this turn, so it has cooldown: it cannot attack or tap for an ability.
- Scarlett has Charge, so she can attack right away. Penny cannot attack, but Defender still works during cooldown, so she can protect you on your opponent’s turn.
Good to know
You can play an entity into the Alley and bring it through the Gate on the same turn. The Gate works once per turn, for one entity.
