Set-specific rules

The Scientific Method

Nikola Tesla has two coils represented by two separate tokens. Each can be charged or discharged. At the start of the game, Tesla starts with one coil charged. At the end of each of your turns, you may charge one coil, flipping it from its discharged side to its charged side.

At the start of your turn, if both coils are charged, deal 1 damage to each opposing fighter adjacent to Tesla, then you may move each of those fighters 1 space. Using this ability does not discharge the coils.

Many of Tesla's cards let you discharge one or two coils to trigger effects. Discharging coils is always optional. If you discharge two coils, read the effect for one coil and then the effect for two coils; you may not resolve the one-coil effect twice.
