Clarifications
When attacking a target, if the defender spends a Brace defense token and also spends another defense token, the total damage that can be reduced by Brace cannot be more than “1”.
Upgrade Card Interactions
Effects such as Commander Kyrsta Agate or Admonition allow tokens to be discarded rather than spent. However this Upgrade Card states that a brace must be spent in order for the Brace effect to reduce damage by more than 1.
- If a Brace was spent and another token discarded via Agate, the full damage reduction from the Brace defense effect would apply – the defender spent a Brace defense token, and it was the only token spent during this attack.
- If another token was spent and the Brace was discarded via Agate, then the Brace effect would only reduce damage by 1. The defender spent a defense token other than Brace, and so the Brace defense effect would be limited by this Upgrade Card’s effect.
