Unrezz'ing ICE And Purging Virus Counters

By fbarrocal, in Android: Netrunner The Card Game

Hi there

I think I lost something. In the FAQ it is mentioned that the Parasite can't destroy unrezzed ICE. So, if the Parasite was installed I am assuming the ICE was rezzed. In which occasions Corp can unrez ICE ?

When purging virus counters, as I understand, 3 clicks purge ALL counter on a card. Is it true regarding any virus of any card (Parasite, Medium, Datasucker, or Crypsis) ?

Thanks in advance!

Ice like Cell portal can become derezzed.

The corp removes all Virus counters that are in play, only the counters that are specifically virus counters and it is from every card not just one card.

I believe it is purge all counters from all cards not just one.

That's correct.

Just to be 100% clear here, if I am playing an Anarch (for example), that would also purge all counters on his side?

Great,

But this raise a few more questions. As an example. Medium don't have the HOSTED tag on it. Are it's tokens Purged as result of a Purge Virus Counters ?

And about Medium again. When the Runner use Medium to reveal R&D cards does he reveal cards up to the tokens amount and expend those tokens or they stay in the card for a next incursion on R&D? How should be the behavior since the HOSTED tag is not present ?

You are confusing two separate things. Medium directs you to place a virus counter on it after doing something. That is all that matters right there, that the counter is a virus counter. If you purge they all go away. They are not commented on as hosted virus counters because you are not spending them for its effect, you simply count up the number and then do what the card says with that number.

It purges ALL virus counters in play.
