Armor I had gave me dodge and said I can Cancel a attack if I spend a surge.
Does that mean I can spend a surge in the same way I spend a shield on my opponents turn?
Cancel says
A player can only use an ability that cancels or prevents something from occurring immediately before that ability resolves. ̉
So if it can only be used immediately before that attack happens it would have to be on my opponents turn.
It says in surge Abilities that they have to be use as a combat action.
I can only use combat actions on my turn
Any help would be welcome
The Rogues Gear says
1 surge dodge: Cancel the next attack made against you this combat round.
Cancel Rule Says:
Something that is canceled or prevented does not resolve. ̉
Cancel and prevent are synonyms. ̉
A player can only use an ability that cancels or prevents something from occurring immediately before that ability resolves. ̉
If a cost is paid and the effect is canceled or prevented, the cost is not refunded; e.g., if a player spent a surge to trigger an ability and the ability is canceled, the surge is still spent.
Surge Abilities
Abilities that are preceded by a surge symbol are surge abilities.
Surge abilities can be used as a combat action by spending the number of surges listed before the surge from the player’s combat pool.
Each surge ability cannot be triggered more than once per combat round. ̉
A player can spend more surges for an ability than required.
Any overspent surges have no effect. ̉
The cost of the surge ability is paid before the effect is resolved.
This means that if a surge ability allows a hero to recast spent tokens, the surge tokens spent to trigger the ability are eligible to be recast. ̉If an X surge ability is triggered by another ability, X is considered to be 1 unless otherwise noted.
Surge symbols
As a combat action, a player can spend surge symbols from his or her combat pool to trigger a surge ability.
