Channel is a Variable Edict in Hexarion Conquest that rewards restraint with power — allowing a Hexmaster to gain bonus Core Energy (CE) if they avoid damage for a turn. It’s a smart, delayed-payoff Edict often used for resource ramp and setup turns.
Channel – Edict Definition
Effect:
If this Hexmaster takes no damage during your opponent’s next turn,
gain +1 CE at the start of your next turn.
Key Properties:
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| Type | Variable Edict – Resource Generation |
| Target | Self |
| Effect | +1 CE if no damage is taken until your next turn |
| Activation Cost | ❌ None — free to use |
| Condition | Hexmaster must survive unscathed for one full enemy turn |
| CE Gained | ✅ Overflow CE possible (you can exceed 3 for that turn only) |
Tactical Uses:
- Use on safe or shielded Hexmasters to build CE over time
- Combine with Fortify, Clone Decoy, or Shield Pulse to help ensure success
- Great for control decks looking to build toward big revive or double-Attune turns
- Synergizes with drain decks — deprive the enemy while boosting yourself
Clarifications:
- The +1 CE is gained at the start of your next turn, not immediately
- If the Hexmaster is defeated or takes any damage, the effect fails
- You can still move or act on the turn you use Channel — it’s not a skip
- You may still gain CE normally — Channel adds an additional 1 CE (can overflow)
