Defeated Adventurers

• During Battle:

  • When an adventurer is defeated (loses their last HP chip or an effect states they are defeated), their chip is removed from the map and placed on their race sheet.
  • Any dice in the adventurer’s active slots are removed and exhausted.
  • Dice in the defeated adventurer’s cooldown track remain there.
  • While defeated, an adventurer:
    • Cannot take turns.
    • Cannot gain fatigue or overfatigue (including during fatigue rounds).
    • Item cards remain in their ready slots and pack but cannot be used.
    • Can only be affected by friendly abilities that specifically apply to a defeated adventurer.
  • Revival: If the adventurer’s HP is raised above 0 (by an ability), they are revived and no longer defeated. If this happens in battle, the revived adventurer is deployed to an unoccupied hex as described by the ability that revived them.

• After Battle:

  • The rulebook does not specify additional steps for defeated adventurers after battle beyond the above, but during end of battle cleanup, you should:
    • Remove and exhaust any remaining skill dice from active slots.
    • Recover any drained skill dice.
    • Leave skill, status, light fatigue, or overfatigue dice in the cooldown track.
    • Keep any tenacity and items gained during the battle.

Defeated Enemies

• During Battle:

  • When a defeated enemy is removed from the battle map, place it on top of the defeated enemy stack near the map.
  • If it is the first enemy defeated during the battle, use it to create the defeated enemy stack.
  • If the enemy is a quest unit or an objective unit, do not place it in the defeated enemy stack; set it aside.

• After Battle:

  • During end of battle cleanup, defeated enemy chips are discarded to form a defeated enemy stack (unless otherwise instructed).
  • For specific encounters (e.g., Jailbreak Introduction), all level 1/5 enemy chips are placed back into their enemy bag after the battle (page 93).
