¶ Functions
Every card in CyberSiege has functions.
These special effects can be triggered to strengthen your team or weaken the opposing team. Here you will learn all the important content to master the functions.
¶ Function Types
There are different types of functions that need to be performed differently. Here you will find a list of all possible function types.
| Name | Representation | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Basic Function |
Function ()
|
A basic function that can be played without resitrictions or special effects. |
| Private Function |
-Function ()
|
A private function can't be combined with other functions. |
| Parameters |
Function ( ⦿ )
|
Protocols must be used in order to perform this function. In the representation column, you can see the position of the protocols with the ⦿ symbol. It's also possible that several protocols must be used at once to execute a function. |
| Array Parameter |
Function ([ ⦿ ])
|
A function with an array can be executed by using the protocol costs repeatedly. This means that the effect of the function is executed multiple times. |
| Nested Function |
Function1 ()
Function2 ()
|
You can recognize a nested function by the indentation. Function1 must be activated in order to be able to use Function2.
|
It is possible for these function types to be displayed in combination. For example, it is possible that there is a nested array function that is displayed as follows:
Function1 ( ) Function2 ( [ ⦿ ] )
¶ Return Types
In addition to the function types, there are also return types. These specify the conditions under which a function can be executed. You can find a list of return types here.
| Name | Icon | Description |
|---|---|---|
| onPlay |
|
This function may only be used in your own train. Several onPlay functions may be used at once and from different cards if they are not marked as “Private”. |
| onAttack |
|
An onAttack function may be used if the card attacks with the corresponding function. onAttack functions of different cards may not be combined. |
| onDefense |
|
An onDefense function may only be used if the card with the corresponding function is attacked. onDefense functions of different cards may not be combined. |
| onSupport |
|
The onSupport functions may only be played when a card is public (face up) on the playing field. Functions of this type may be combined as desired, e.g. when an attack or defense takes place. |
