can activate up to X times during a GM move so long as there are enough action tokens.

The Relentless move is useful if you want an adversary you can activate more than once during a single GM move. This is often best for exceedingly fast or dangerous foes, or adversaries likely to be battling the party independently.

costs X action tokens to activate.

The Slow move is useful if you want an adversary who narratively takes longer to act than others, like a slug creature or a massive ogre. This is usually most effective when that creature is very powerful when it does act, but eats up lots of action tokens to do it.

For every X damage received, deal 1 HP to an additional minion within their attack’s range.

The Minion move is useful when you want to drop lots of small enemies into the battlefield, knowing the party can swing through them very easily. This move means that if a PC hits one minion and does enough damage, it also hits some others that are in range for them. Because of this, it’s often best to have minions crowd a PC–it will feel overwhelming and dangerous until they’re able to attack them. If you want that cinematic feeling of the PCs taking out waves of enemies with a single attack roll, minions are a great tool to make that happen.

deal less damage as they’re injured ( ½ or more of their Hit Points).

Creatures Per Hit Point: (X) denotes the number of creatures in this horde represented by each Hit Point.

The Horde move is useful when you want to represent a group of enemies as a single adversary. This is one step beyond just having some minions on the battlefield–maybe you want to represent a mass of zombies or a swarm of deadly insects. Horde allows you to make large numbers of enemies without the overhead of running them all individually. For example, a Zombie Horde with 5 hit points and a Creatures Per Hit Point value of 4 would be described as 20 zombies moving in a group together. If a PC deals 2 hit points to this horde, you would describe 8 zombies being taken out as a result.

Spend a Fear to activate all adversaries with this name within a certain range of a target. This group can move and make an attack roll against that target. On a success, they deal X amount of damage per adversary.

The Group Attack is useful for making the action tokens more efficient in battle. Because it allows you to activate multiple adversaries at once, it can help to make a battlefield full of enemies come alive. As a note of clarification, you only make one attack roll for the entire group that is attacking, and then add their damage together before applying it to the target. Group Attack is often paired up with the Minion move because it allows some smaller foes to all have the chance to attack before they inevitably are taken out by the PCs
