Hack Phase

The Hack Phase is the actual fighting phase, where the active player may try to damage enemy punks, heroes and vehicles.

Once again, the player must choose the hack phase, then a specific faction with which he/she can perform attacks. Only the heroes and punks of that specific faction will then attack the enemies.

During this phase, the acrive player is also called attacking player. The passive player is also called defending player.

Punks and heroes that attack during the Hack Phase must choose a target first, then they roll a dice. They must roll a result equal or greater to the number they have in the precision mark in order to perform a success. They also apply any modification to the dice result as given by items and traps.

Each successful attack deals a damage equal to the number written in the attack mark of the punk or hero. This number is also known as damage.

The other player must then subtract the number of the armour mark of the target card to the number of the attack of the attacking punk or hero. If the result is less than 1, the attacking punk or hero still deals 1 damage. This calculation is also influenced by the attacker's and defender's special abilities, and by items and traps already played.

Note: if a target punk or hero is carried by a vehicle, the target punk or hero can't be hit until the vehicle is alive. The attacking player must therefore target the vehicle first.

Note: If a successful attack deals more damage than the health of a target, the target is killed. The attacking player can therefore pick a share marker.

Note: The share marked gained by killing enemy punks, heroes and vehicles aren't picked from the common bag. They are picked from another general reserve, than should never end before the end of the game.

Strategy
The Hack Phase is the most aggressive phase in the game. The interaction between players reaches its peak.

You must therefore carefully consider when hit the enemy. You will be tempted to deploy as many strong heroes and punks as you can, as well as some good items. However, it's somentime wise to attack before maxing out your mob, in order to kill specific enemies with surgical attacks, before the other player can take full advantage of their strenght.
