Reading your roll

Every roll in Clash and Faultline opens with a short picture of how it scored. It builds up in about three and a half seconds. Tap anywhere to skip to the end. If your phone is set to reduce motion, the finished picture appears straight away.

Once the total is in, the picture stays so you can read it. Tap Continue or swipe down to close it.

The picture

• In the middle: the face that landed on top, in amber, with its widget and its power. This is your lead.
• Around it: the five faces that touch it on your Core, in the same places as on the Core.
• Lit faces add something. They glow in their widget’s colour with a small label on the edge they share with the top face: +2 for a Booster, +1 for a widget of the same type as your lead.
• Dim faces add nothing this time.

The sum

Under the picture the sum builds tile by tile:

lead × 2 + each lit face = your Crown

A Wildcard on top fades from purple to the type it becomes and reads, for example, Wildcard → Defender.

Then any bonuses are added underneath: the counter (+3) and In step (+2) in a Clash; in Faultline, what an attack would add (Surge +2 a teammate, +1 a capture point) and the defence it meets (+1 a token, +2 for a Defender lead). Tap any tile to see the rule behind it.

In each mode

• Faultline: your Crown is your strength. It opens when your roll comes in. It folds into the Your roll card by itself when it is your turn to give an order (so it never covers the map) or after 8 seconds without a touch. Tap the card to see it again. See A round.
• Clash: the result screen shows your Crown and the bonuses on top. Tap See …’s roll to check the other player’s. See How scoring works.
• My Core: after a roll, tap Test a roll to see how it would score with the widgets on your Core. It is practice: nothing counts.

The numbers always come from the game’s server, the same numbers that decided the result.

Other players’ rolls use the same picture. You can see theirs once the wave or battle is over. Until then their build stays hidden.
