Dark champions plot card

By krimmst, in Descent: Journeys in the Dark

Each master monster gets +2 health, and adds 1 brown die to defense rolls. That part is clear, but what I'm not sure about is the "Each of its attacks gains: surge +2 damage". Does that mean they still have to roll a surge to get that +2 damage? Or does that mean they always get +2 damage?

They have to roll a surge.

The card is adding a new surge ability to all master monster attack rolls.

Also like any other surge ability, this one can only be used once per attack.

it's clear tough !

1 surge = +2 damage.

No surge, no bonus. Is it too weak for you ?
