Stun

Card effect
Prevent the enemy from acting on its next turn.

Stun only works on monsters; players cannot be stunned.

  • Effect: the target's planned move swaps for a Stunned move that does nothing, and its intent icon changes at once.
  • No stacking: that empty turn must be played out, so a second Stun landing before then adds nothing.
  • After: the monster's next move defaults to the last move it logged, the very move it was showing when stunned, so Stun delays that attack by one turn rather than cancelling it, unless the stunning effect names a different follow-up.
  • Immune: a monster whose current move is flagged as one it must perform shrugs the Stun off, and a dead enemy is never stunned.
