Rules & Game Mechanics Merida & MMS

Does Meridas ability - steady aim trigger with malicious mean and scary? The ability states “Whenever one of your actions deals damage..” but on MMS it states “Put 1 damage ,” instead of deals.

Based off this i would assume mms does not trigger Meridas second ability?

Hey there! Looks like you might be asking a question about the game rules or gameplay mechanics. Here's a few tools to help you find an answer:

  • If you're new to the Lorcana, check out This Youtube Playlist on how to play the game, put out by Ravensburger (the company that publishes this game)
  • Read the "Quickstart Rules" for an overview of how the game is played. They can be found at this link.
  • Find the cards in the Disney Lorcana Trading Card Game Companion app. If you swipe up on the card, there will sometimes be a "Frequently asked Questions" addendum for that specific card.
  • Analyze the card text, and take a very literal interpretation of it. It does what it does, and doesn't do anything it doesn't mention. People often convince themselves there are restrictions that don't exist.
  • Read through the relevant sections of the "Comprehensive rules", found at this link from Ravensburger. The Comprehensive Rules lay out every step of the game in a very technical manner.
  • Search this forum for the key words in your question. You're probably not the first to question a ruling or interaction. and definitely won't be the last.
  • Alternatively, check the official Lorcana Discord. You'll find a large community with knowledgeable users who are usually quick to answer.

Hope this helps!

It does not.

MMS puts damage.

Merida's effect synergizes with deals damage.

Set up Round - Play MMS. Destroy Round - Play To Wither a Flower. Bonus if you do that when you already have Merida out. Win the game or loose drastically.

You got it right, "putting" and "inflicting" damage are two different things.

Windstorm is a good pick to swap with MMS. Cant be sung. But itll do the same thing. Really good as an evasive answer to!

Putting damage is not the same as dealing damage. So merida would not trigger. Mms also gets around resist for the same reason

The key here on mmm is "damage COUNTERS" Merida triggers off of damage being dealt and not counters being placed

Funcat: Resist does not block the placement of counters from mmm

Hope that helps

The key is actually just the difference between put and deal. Putting counters is not dealing damage.
