Chording

Chording is the act of playing multiple cards from your hand simultaneously. To begin a chord, hold down the button to play a card, then press the buttons for each card to add to the chord. You can only chord together red cards, which make up the majority of the cards in the game. Green cards and black cards cannot be chorded and will be played immediately when they are selected.

Cards can be chorded in 2 ways:

• Duplicate Cards: When multiple of the same card are chorded together, certain values of the card's ability are multiplied by the number of cards played. For example, chording 2 slashes will result in a 2x damage slash with a 240 degree attack arc. Some cards have different duplicate chording behaviors than others, so look for notes on how those work or ask if there aren't any (because there should be).
• Different Cards: When different cards are chorded together, the first card in the chord forms a root of the chord (which defines the resulting behavior) and all other cards apply their Chording Effect (outlined in the Card Numbers Spreadsheet).
