[When Attacking]

A timing header for effects that trigger when the character attacks. First confirmed as [When Attacking] on the English demo card Jugo (N-019) distributed at Gen Con 2026, where it headlines an effect that reveals the top card of your deck and summons it if it meets the condition — developing your board while attacking. Jugo is the only one of the 38 revealed entries to carry this header, which makes it the only card so far on which attacking itself produces a reward; the other eleven cards whose text mentions attacking either enable an attack or are played by the defender. Whether the trigger fires on declaration or after resolution, and whether the effect survives an interrupted attack, has not been announced.

This notation has only been confirmed on English-version demo cards. The Japanese wording shown here is our provisional rendering based on previously revealed cards; the official Japanese version is unannounced.

The rulebook and comprehensive rules are not yet public, so the official definition and handling of this notation are unannounced. The above records what can be confirmed from card faces and official announcements, and may change once the rules are published.
