Attack<\/strong> is one of the three Basic Edicts<\/strong> included on every Glyphex<\/strong> in Hexarion Conquest<\/em>. It\u2019s the most fundamental offensive action in the game \u2014 simple, direct, and lethal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tactical Use:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Finish off weakened Hexmasters<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Apply pressure to zone control<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Combo with Mark<\/strong>, Push<\/strong>, or Backstab<\/strong> for value turns<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Costless, so ideal when conserving CE or holding Glyphex abilities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Limitations:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • One activation per turn<\/strong> \u2014 your selected Hexmaster can move or act<\/strong>, not both<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • A Hexmaster cannot use the same Edict two turns in a row<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Must be Attuned<\/strong> to a Glyphex to use Attack<\/strong> (Basic Edicts are Glyphex-granted)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Attack appears on every<\/em> Glyphex.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n

      All 15 base Glyphexes in Hexarion Conquest<\/strong> include the 3 Basic Edicts<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Attack<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Dash<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Fortify<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        These three universal abilities<\/strong> are built into every Glyphex, regardless of its Variable Edicts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Why?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        Because Glyphexes serve as the core ability interface<\/strong> in the game. Attuning a Hexmaster with a Glyphex grants them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • The 3 Basic Edicts<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • The 3 Variable Edicts<\/strong> unique to that Glyphex<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          So once attuned, a Hexmaster always has access to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          • Attack<\/strong> (adjacent 1 damage)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Dash<\/strong> (2-hex move in a line)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Fortify<\/strong> (gain Shielded)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            The only exception is Unattuned Hexmasters<\/strong>, who can only use their Class Edict<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
