Ruling · 900.34
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.
- 900.34aA Tool loses 1 Durability when an adjacent ally activates, and is destroyed at 0.
- 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.
- 900.34cDestruction triggers Leverage (Break) on adjacent Giants with that keyword, while every Durability spend triggers Leverage (Momentum).
- 900.34dRepair effects restore Durability directly and can revive a Tool already worn to 0. Tool repair bypasses the living-only recovery gate.
- 900.34eLosing a Tool immediately refreshes adjacency-derived keywords and stats such as Brute and Braced.
