Icon Ability is an ability that has a specific icon to represent it.

Details[]

It first appeared in DM-05 with the Survivor keyword.

5 Gigaling Q

Darkness Darkness / Creature
Survivor + Chimera

■ Survivor (Each of your Survivors has this creature's ​Survivor ability.)
Survivor Slayer (Whenever this creature battles, destroy the other creature after the battle.)


Cards such as Lockdown Lizard (which mentions the ​Tap Ability Tap Ability) are able to reference these abilities in their effect text by just their icons.

Rulings[]

There are 2 types of icon abilities, ones with "icon ability -> reference ability" and the rest with "reference ability -> icon ability".

  • In the former case, the card is treated as having the icon ability already, with the ability either sharing or reusing the ability. This is only seen on Survivor and Knight Magic.
  • In the latter case, the referenced abilities describes the conditions you must satisfy in order to use the icon ability.

When the ability to resolve an icon ability triggers, the abilities are processed at the same time. Even if a creature with the ability leaves the battle zone, used for evolution or is sealed before it would resolve, the ability continues to resolve without issue.

For Space Charge abilities where multiple icon abilities would trigger at the same time, they must be resolved in the written order.

Other[]

  • Some keyword abilities such as Blocker and Shield Trigger use icons on the beginning of their ability, but as no part of the ability refers to the icon itself, it isn't considered as an "icon ability".
  • Before the usage of "icon" in the General Game Rules (12/12/2019), this ability was formerly referred to as a "mark ability" and "symbol ability".
