How does Pekiro redirect damage when both players have one?
Each Pekiro can redirect damage from a spell or ability once per turn. The active player resolves their Pekiro first, then the opponent, so damage can bounce back to a Pekiro that has already used its redirect.
Step by step
- Both players have a Pekiro in their Garden. Player A casts Collateral Burst: 1 damage to their own Pekiro, then 2 damage to player B’s.
- Both Pekiro trigger. Player A is the active player, so their Pekiro goes first and redirects its 1 damage to player B’s Pekiro.
- Player B’s Pekiro now has two hits waiting. It redirects the 2 from Collateral Burst back to player A’s Pekiro, which has already used its redirect and is destroyed.
- Player B’s Pekiro has no redirect left for the 1 damage from player A’s Pekiro, so it is destroyed too.
Good to know
Cards that are hit by the same effect without a trigger take their damage straight away. Only the cards that trigger wait in line.
