When an Attacker destroys all Defending units and still has units remaining, they conquer the Battlefield and immediately score 1 point; additionally, every time a Battlefield is conquered without winning the game, the conquering player draws a card.

Each Battlefield can only award 1 point per turn; moving a unit away and replacing it with another unit in the same turn does not grant additional points.

“Moving away from a battlefield and back to it with another unit the same turn will not gain you a bonus point.”

Action Spells may be played during the controller's turn or during a Showdown; on an opponent's turn, a player may only play Action Spells during Showdowns.

“Most Spells are labeled Action, which means you can play them during your turn or during a Showdown. If it's not your turn, you can only play Action Spells during Showdowns.”
During the Beginning Phase, each player channels 2 Runes from the top of their Rune Deck; the second player channels 3 Runes on their very first turn to compensate for going second.

Gear cards enter play in the Ready state (not Exhausted), so they can be used immediately; Gear always enters at the controller's Base.

“Gear cannot hold or conquer battlefields, and can only exist in base. If a Gear card is played at a battlefield, it is immediately recalled to the base.”
HOT FEPR is recursive: the procedures that designate tasks as outstanding are themselves steps or substeps that wait until all outstanding tasks and all chain items are completed before moving on.

Cleanups work inversely to other HOT FEPR procedures: several tasks are queued at once, and all of them must be completed before the FEPR process will initiate.

Errata may impact the effective power level of cards, but Riot has no plans to issue errata strictly for power level reasons — only to make cards work within the rules and as intended.

Blood Rush was printed without 'this turn' in its effect. The Assault 2 bonus it grants a unit is temporary and lasts only this turn, matching design intent and the pattern of Convergent Mutation.

Reflexive triggers, identified by 'then do this:' language, create new chain items to handle effects that need to offer players a chance to react between two effects, or that must happen after the rest of a spell or ability resolves.

Target – 'must' be taken actions exclusion (Sigil of the Storm)
Units that use the 'must' wording (like Sigil of the Storm) are excluded from targeting. This category exists to allow cards to require something to happen and ensure it actually does, without making those objects targets.

Rumble, Hotheaded can choose a Mech token to recycle. Tokens inherit the recycle destination of their type—a token that is a unit or gear is recycled to the Main Deck. The token then vanishes (as tokens do whenever they leave the board), but it still counts as 'the unit you recycled,' so Rumble can check its Might.

Origins cards with the 'to a minimum of 1' clause (e.g., Stupefy) retain that floor and are not receiving errata. The removal of 'minimum of 1' is a design philosophy change beginning with Spiritforged; it does not retroactively change Origins cards.
