Tool Durability and activations

This rule is part of the Comprehensive Rules, where every cross-reference resolves in one page.

Question
When does a Tool spend Durability?
Answer
Whenever an adjacent ally activates. Passive reactions do not spend Durability.
  1. 900.34aA Tool loses 1 Durability when an adjacent ally activates, and is destroyed at 0.
  2. 900.34bPassive reactions (such as ally-damaged triggers) and tool auras never spend Durability on their own. The adjacent activation spend is the only way Durability is consumed.
  3. 900.34cDestruction triggers Leverage (Break) on adjacent Giants with that keyword, while every Durability spend triggers Leverage (Momentum).
  4. 900.34dRepair effects restore Durability directly and can revive a Tool already worn to 0. Tool repair bypasses the living-only recovery gate.
  5. 900.34eLosing a Tool immediately refreshes adjacency-derived keywords and stats such as Brute and Braced.
