When do weapons go to the discard pile?
At the end of every turn, including weapons played as responses on your opponent’s turn. A weapon also goes to the discard pile if the entity holding it leaves the field.
Step by step
- You equip Ikazuchi to your leader. Your leader now has attack and can swing this turn, since leaders never have cooldown.
- If your leader attacks an entity, the damage your leader takes back is permanent. Damage on the entity clears at the end of the turn if it survives.
- At the end of the turn, Ikazuchi goes to your discard pile.
- On your opponent’s turn, a weapon you bring back with Raizan’s Riposte also leaves at the end of that turn.
Good to know
One card can hold several weapons. Moving a weapon to another holder does not trigger its On Play again.
