2 AlterDefence Passive, Defensive [Factor] Incoming damage from [Faction] enemies -If negative, merc takes less damage, if positive, merc takes extra damage.
3 SelfHeal Emergent [Factor] Combat score granted from attacking [Faction] enemies -Factor is rerolled per attack sequence.
4 Bulwark Passive, Defensive [Chance] For dealt damage from [Faction] enemies to be diverted to this merc instead of initial target -On successful roll, mercs attack each other as if it were the one initially targeted.
-The actual initial target of the enemy, your targeted ally, is ignored, thus the ally deals no damage to them.
-If multiple of your allies have this perk, and multiple of them successfully trigger during a combat phase, you must pick which one of them becomes the new target for the enemy. You can pick a different ally each time their perks successfully roll during a combat sequence.
-This perk is only active when your opponent targets one of your mercs, not when an opponent retaliates damage onto a merc you attack with (only works when they attack you, not when you attack them)
5 SelfRespawn Passive, Defensive [Chance] For this merc to respawn after being killed by [Faction] -The merc's combat score is replenished and reshuffled when it respawns, as if it entered the field for the first time.
-The merc's land doesn't lose capacity upon it's death, is housed in the same land upon respawn.
-This perk can activate as many times as it successfully rolls, meaning the merc could be immortal if you're very lucky.
6 AntiRespawn Offensive, Supportive [Chance] For slain [Faction] enemies to be prevented from respawning -Does nothing to enemies that don't respawn
-This perk only works once per enemy slain, if the enemy has multiple chances to respawn they may do so.
7 LandHeal Supportive [Chance] For slain [Faction] enemies to replenish this merc’s land capacity -Adds only 1 point per successful roll
-Land cannot go beyond it's maximum capacity (3 for singles, 2 for splits, 4 for dice splits)
8 DrawACard Supportive [Chance] To draw a card for every slain [Faction] enemy -If your hand is already full, you must either discard a card from your hand or discard the one you picked from your deck.
-If this merc also has any perk like Explosion(12) and ExcessDamage(13), you might be able to draw more than one card per combat sequence.

Stuff
9 LandDamage Offensive [Chance] To destroy a [Faction] land's capacity after attacking enemy in it -You cannot target which land capacity to destory, the order goes as follows: Empty slots, Slots affected by LandOccupy(19), Slots with mercs in them.
-If a land is completely full, and a merc (of the opponent's choosing) cannot be relocated to a different land, no land capacity is diminished. if an opponent's merc CAN be relocated, they are forced to do so and must lose a land capacity.
10 StrikeFirst Offensive [Chance] To deal damage first to [Faction] enemy, before they attack back -Enemy's combat score is calculated after getting struck and before it attacks back.
-If the enemy dies before they would attack back, the attack sequence ends and the merc takes no damage.
11 StrikeLast Debuff [Chance] To deal damage last to [Faction] enemy, after they attack the merc -Merc's combat score is calculated after getting struck and before it attacks back.
-If the merc dies before they would attack back, the attack sequence ends and the enemy takes no damage.
12 Explosion Magic, Offensive [Factor] Damage dealt to all [Faction] enemies on field upon being killed -This and Respawning are mutually exclusive. If the opprtunity arises, it is up to you to decide if the merc will explode and deal damage or respawn. Mercs that respawn can still explode if they die again.
-If this perk uses a dice value (rather than a static number), the factor is rolled a new time for each of the opposing mercs which would get affected.
-The explosion damage isn't affected by other damage modifiers the merc may have, i.e. affected mercs cannot get Drain(22), AlterDamage(1), ExcessDamage(13), Butcher(14), etc. Damage done by explosion is flat damage which cannot be influenced by other perks the merc has.
-If the mercs on the recieving end of the explosion have perks that modify incoming damage, such as AlterDefence(2) or NegateDamage(18) etc.., Those still run as if recieving damage normally through a combat sequence.
-In games with more than two players, everyone must decide whether explosion damage is dealt to the mercs controlled by the player whose merc triggered the death (just one group of mercs), or if explosion damage is dealt to every single opposing merc on the field.
-In the unlikely circumstance an opponent has zero mercs on the field when this perk is triggered, that player will take one hit of damage.
13 ExcessDamage Magic, Offensive [Chance] To deal excess damage to next [Faction] enemy after killing an enemy -If the merc deals 10 damage and it only takes 4 to kill an enemy, you can divert that remaining 6 damage to another enemy of your choice. If it only took 5 damage to kill that one, you can divert that remaining 1 damage to a third enemy, etc...
-A typical combat sequence does not arise from this chain, so like none of the subsequent enemies affected attack the merc as well. the only damage the merc takes is from the primary interaction.
-This perk only needs to be rolled once to dump all remaining damage onto every other enemy until it's done. (not rolling every time you want to pass the damage on)
-During the combat sequence, both mercs still damage each other at the same time. The "chain" still follows through to the other potential mercs, but this card's potentially diminished combat score doesn't influence the damage from the "chain". (Example: This card has 20 combat score. the card it attacks has 10 combat score, but deals a flat +10 damage. SO they deal damage at the same time, resulting in both dying. even though this card has a combat score of 0, the remaining 10 damage can still be passed on to more enemies.
-If the "chain" of damage passes into a merc with NegateDamage(18), and it successfully rolls, that merc blocks all damage and essentially stops the chain, as if it had infinite combat score. Thus the chain cannot continue through them to more enemies afterwards. -Excess damage could be diverted to the player directly. The opponent could still intercept that attack with one of their mercs, if possible. If you choose for the excess damage to go to the player, it cannot then deal more damage to another merc again. If you choose to attack the player, it needs to be the final target of the 'chain'.
14 Butcher Offensive [Chance] To immediately kill [Faction] enemy -Enemy still damages the merc, even if the enemy gets instakilled at the exact same moment.
-If this perk is confronted with NegateDamage(18), the two players may set the game aside and brawl on the spot, where the victor's merc rules in favor. alternatively, Players could pick even or odds, and roll a dice to determine the outcome.
15 ChooseHeal Supportive [Factor] Combat score granted to [Faction] ally of your choice from attacking enemy -An enemy of any faction could be attacked to have this work.
-The merc itself cannot be targeted by the perk, it can only heal allies.
16 ChooseRespawn Supportive [Chance] To respawn any fallen [Faction] ally whenever they should’ve died instead -This perk can roll as long as the merc is alive.
-Whenever an ally on the field dies, roll this perk for a chance of them respawning (as long as they meet the faction requirement).
-Respawning is rolled by the merc's own perks first, then the perks of external mercs.
-This doesnt interfere with other respawn effects, and those can be rolled as well if this perk doesn't activate.
-This ability cannot target the merc itself, when it dies this ability cannot bring it back.
17 Noble Defensive For [Duration], merc cannot target [Faction] enemies -If theres no duration, the effect is perpetual.
-Enemies can still target this merc, in which case it will begin the attack sequence and this merc can retaliate damage.
-The merc is still able to target opponent players directly like any other merc.
18 NegateDamage Passive, Defensive [Chance] To negate all incoming damage from [Faction] enemies -During a combat sequence, if this perk successfully rolls, this merc will take zero damage, but will still retaliate damage to the opposing merc.
-This perk can be rolled at any time the merc may take damage, such as from Explosion(12), ExcessDamage(13).
-This perk is futile against debuffs like Drain(22), Freeze(27), etc.. The merc could block the initial damage but the status effect will persist past that.
-With ExtraDamage(30), The merc will block the first hit but not the second.
-If this perk is confronted with NegateDamage(18), the two players may set the game aside and brawl on the spot, where the victor's merc rules in favor. alternatively, Players could pick even or odds, and roll a dice to determine the outcome.
19 LandOccupy Passive, Supportive For [Duration]/On [Chance], merc inhabits one of enemy's [Faction] lands -This is one of the only perks that uses either chance OR duration. If there's a chance, roll it when the merc enters the field. if it successfully rolls, the effect lasts until the merc is dead.
-If the effect has a null value, it lasts until the merc is destroyed, just like the chance values. -You pick the land the merc occupies, as long as it follows the faction condition. If gold, the merc can occupy any opponent's land.
-The merc still inhabits one land of your own.
-When the merc dies, the enemy's land capacity becomes available again, but your own land still loses a capacity.
-This perk has no effect if all enemy's lands are full.
-If this merc respawns, they continue to occupy the land capacity they previously did.
-If the merc has multiple of these perks, they can inhabit multiple enemy lands at once, either in the same land or different ones.
20 AllHeal Emergent [Factor] Combat score granted to all [Faction] allies on the field upon being deployed -The factor is rerolled for each ally.
-The perk does not activate a second time upon respawn.
21 SpellImmunity Passive, Defensive [Chance] to ignore all negative status perks inflicted from [Faction] enemies -This perk is rolled whenever the merc may take damage from these sources.
-The negative status perks include: Drain(22), where this perk has no effect on them, ExcessDamage(13), where the merc cannot be targeted by the perk's effect, Explosion(12), where they won't be damaged from the perk's effect, Freeze(27), where they cannot be affected, Lifelink(28), where they cannot be targeted, ViewHand(23), where this card will not be revealed despite meeting all other requirements, Snipe(42), Where this merc cannot be targeted, Deny(43), Where this merc can bypass the restriction and be deployed, and Reroll(44), Where it will not be affected.
-For Drain(22), If the merc is damaged by an enemy with Drain(22), and this merc successfully negates it, it will never take damage from the ability, unless directly attacked again where it might not negate the ability. At the beginning of the new turn, whether the merc negated the effect or not on the round it was initially damaged will determine if it will continue taking damage or not.
22 Drain Magic, Timed, Offensive For [Duration], [Faction] enemies that are attacked will take 2 damage per turn -Respawning removes the debuff from the merc.
-The timer starts on the turn that follows the one which the combat sequence occurred in.
-The effect persists even after the merc with which inflicted the ability dies
-Explosion(12) does not activate this perk, only direct attacks do.
-This ability synergizes with perks that alter how damage is dealt, such as ExcessDamage(13), where all concurrently damaged mercs will be affected with Drain as well.
-This perk does not stack, i.e. if the merc is recieves this debuff and already had it, it does not take 4 damage instead of 2. the durations are not added onto each other either, and instead the previous duration (however much time is left), is overwritten by the most recent duration added (only if the most recent duration is longer than the previous)
23 ViewHand Magic, Supportive [Chance] for opponent to reveal all [Faction] cards in their hand upon being deployed -If gold, the opponent reveals their entire hand.

-The opponent cannot shuffle their hand before this perk activates.
25 AntiHeal Supportive [Chance] for attacked [Faction] enemy to not be granted any combat score for one turn -This perk prevents the merc from being granted any combat score for one turn, meaning after this effect successfully triggers during a combat sequence, in the prior and following turn perks like SelfHeal(3), ChooseHeal(15), AllHeal(20), Bestow(29), PassiveHealing(33), and Adaption(38) will not work. If the affected card has one of these abilities, it can still use them and grant combat score to another ally.
26 Sacrifice Instant, Offensive Instead of being deployed, instantly destroy this merc and deal [Factor] damage to [Faction] enemy -this perk can only be activated when the card is in your hand, at at your own discretion.

-NO EXTERNAL ABILITY CAN EVER INFLUENCE HOW THIS PERK OPERATES!!!!! NOTHING!!!!!!!
-This instant perk can only be activated if you have a deployed land corresponding to the merc of this instant perk. It does not matter if it's full, and it does not destroy a capacity. As long as theres a land the same faction as the merc, the instant perk can be activated.

30 ExtraDamage Offensive [Chance] to attack [Faction] enemy a second time, after inital combat sequence - If this perk successfully rolls, a combat sequence is carried out like normal. After the two mercs exchange damage, take your merc's Dice Value from their combat score (the second value) and roll it. this value is then dealt to the enemy, with no consequence to your merc.
-This extra damage is not influenced by any other perks your merc may have. If the enemy merc has a perk that may reduce or negate damage, those effects still apply to the additional damage.
-If this merc dies during the initial combat sequence, the extra damage can still be applied, given it's rolled successfully.
31 MercCapacity Passive, Supportive For [Duration], Merc can house 1 subsequent [Faction] ally, as if this merc has a land capacity -This perk is active as long as the merc is alive. If this merc dies, the subsequent merc is is carrying assumes it's place in the land the merc was occupying.

If this merc itself is respawned, the subsequent merc stays in this merc.

-If an enemy has LandOccupy(19), that merc is able to inhabit this merc's land capacity.
-If an ally has EmptyMerc(34), it can inhabit this merc's land capacity at no cost to the perk, meaning the merc can still hold another ally.
32 DeathTimer Timed, Passive, Debuff Merc is alive for [Duration] before it is automatically destroyed, unless it damages [Faction] enemies -If this merc attacks the highlighted faction, it stays alive for 1 additional turn (+1 added to the remaining duration).

-If this merc runs out of time and dies, it could be respawned, where the duration is reset.

-Unless this merc has a perk like ExtraDamage(30), ExcessDamage(13), or Drain(22), The merc will be incapable of actually gaining duration, because it could only attack once and gain 1 duration, which is then lost at the beginning of the next turn.

-The timer starts on the turn that follows the one which the combat sequence occurred in.
-Unlike other perks, this one does not have a faction constraint.
34 EmptyMerc Passive, Supportive [Chance] for deployed merc to take up no capacity in [Faction] land -This merc still needs to be bound to a land, thus it cannot be deployed without a proper land to accomidate it (even if it does not inhabit the capacity within).
-The faction constraint may seem like a no-brainer, as the merc needs to be in the same land as it's own faction, but in the cases where the perk is a different faction than the merc itself, the ability can only work if the merc is placed in a land split comprised of the two aforementioned factions.
-If the merc's land is destroyed, this merc is still destroyed (along with the others that may inhabit the land as well).
-If successfully rolled, this merc can be deployed into a land that is at full capacity.
35 NoRespawn Passive, Debuff [Chance] for this merc to ignore [Faction] ally respawn abilities -This merc cannot be targeted by the respawn abilites that allies may provide. (only if the ally meets the faction and chance requirement)

-This instant perk can only be activated if you have a deployed land corresponding to the merc of this instant perk. It does not matter if it's full, and it does not destroy a capacity. As long as theres a land the same faction as the merc, the instant perk can be activated.
37 Retreat Passive, Defensive Instead of being killed by [Faction] enemy, [Chance] to relocate this merc into a new land -When the merc enters a new viable land, their combat score is set to only their dice value. e.g. If a card has 10 + D12, and dies; relocate it to a new land, roll a D12, and set that factor as the merc's new combat score. The fixed value is fully ignored.
-The land capacity the merc was previously in is still destroyed.
-This action still counts as a respawn, thus it can be countered with AntiRespawn(6).
-If there's no viable/available land for the merc to relocate into, it must be destroyed.
-If this merc also has a respawn ability trigger, you can choose whether to keep it in the land it already occupies, or place it in a new one. If you place it in a new one, you can roll for the full combat score (you're not limitied to just the dice value anymore)
38 Adaption Emergent When merc enters a [Faction] land, they are granted [Factor] combat score -This happens not only when the merc is placed, but also every time it's relocated to a different land.
39 Unadaptive Debuff Merc takes [Factor] damage whenever relocated -If this merc needs to move lands for any reason, it is penalized.
40 Blunder Debuff [Chance] for this merc to deal no damage to [Faction] enemy -The opposite of Butcher(14).
-Works as if the enemy merc has NegateDamage(18).
-On-hit perks like AntiRespawn(6), ChooseHeal(15), ChooseRespawn(16), Drain(22), etc.. Still work like normal, it's just the merc does 0 damage.
41 Challenge Debuff Merc can only target [Faction] enemies with a combat score of [Factor] -Aside from Sacrifice(26), There is no other way this merc can affect enemies that don't meet the perk criteria. Not even perks like Explosion(12) or ExcessDamage(13).
-Usually this factor is accompanied by by a 'greater than or equal to' (≥) or 'less than or equal to' (≤) symbol, meaning they won't be able to target weak enemies, or very strong ones, respectively.
-This merc can still retaliate damage to a merc of any combat score if it's attacked. This perk only affects what mercs can be targeted.
-If no enemy mercs qualify for being targeted, this merc cannot target at all, much similarly to Noble(17).
42 Snipe Magic, Offensive When ally is attacking [Faction] enemy, [Chance] for this merc also attack that enemy, simultaneously. -This damage can be affected by other perks this same merc might have, such as AlterDamage(1), Butcher(14), Drain22), etc..
-The enemy merc does not retaliate to both attacking mercs, only the one that initially targeted it, meaning the merc with this perk remains unaffected at the end of the combat sequence.
43 Deny Magic, Passive, Supportive [Chance] to deny opponent deployment of [Faction] mercs -As long as a merc with this perk is on the field, mercs of the corresponding faction cannot be deployed and are prevented from entering the field (if the chance is rolled).

44 Reroll Magic, Supportive [Chance] to reroll [Faction] merc's combat score -Only works if the target merc's current combat score is between it's minimum and maximum possible score. (if a target has 8+D20, it's CS would have to be 9-28)
-"Rerolling" is effectively treating the merc like it was deployed for the first time again. Sometimes it's CS will raise, sometimes it will lower.
-Only works if the merc deals damage to it's target.
-Rerolling takes effect after both parties exchange damage, unless StrikeFirst(10) or StrikeLast(11) is relevant, for example.
