(iii) Tag Fight Ruling
1. Each fighters have 1 field but the damage zone will be shared by the team
- Fighter on the right can use the damage zone of the fighter on the left.
- In order for the heal trigger to activate total damages between the teams will be used as comparison instead of individual players.
- Limit Break activates by the total amount of damages of both players.

- Do NOT not discuss with each other on Tag Guard.

4. Counter Blast and Soul Blast cost are shared between the team members.
- Soul Saviour Dragon needs to Soul Blast (5) to activate it's skill. Hence a fighter may Soul Blast (3) from his/her own soul and Soul Blast 2 from his/her team mate's soul.

1. 4 players will play a game of scissors paper stone to decide the first fighter.

2. From a team like the one above Team A (Misaki / Kamui) and Team B (Aichi / Kai)  the sequence will be from Kamui > Kai > Misaki > Aichi > Kamui, in a figure 8.

(v) How to Read the Card's Text in a Tag Fight
1. Your will means the fighter who's using that unit, player can not select your team mate as a target.
e.g. Flash Shield, Isolde's skill " Auto: [Choose a 《Royal Paladin》 card from your hand, and discard it] When this unit is placed on [G], you may pay the cost. If you do, choose one of your 《Royal Paladin》 being attacked, and that unit cannot be hit until end of that battle."
- Fighter can not use this skill and target an unit on your team mate's field.
e.g. Silent Tom's skill "Continuous (V/R): During the battle where this unit attacks, if you have an 《Oracle Think Tank》 vanguard, your opponent can not normal call a grade 0 into the [G]"
- Your opponent's team mate CAN help to guard with G0a

2. All Players will be targetting all 4 Fighters.
e.g. Dark Cat's skill " Auto: When this unit is placed on [V] or [R], if you have an 《Oracle Think Tank》 vanguard, all players may draw a card."
- All 4 players may draw 1.
