DQ

This Special gives the Character playing it an extra 2 hits to KO. It does not affect the Character's ability to be Spectrum KO'd. A Special of this type must be played before a Character has exceeded 20 total points, or has been a victim of a Spectrum KO. This card may not be played in defense in order to avoid being knocked out of the game (see BF Special). The effects of this Special are cumulative, so a Character may have a number of this Special in effect simultaneously for example, with 5 of these Specials in effect the Character playing this Special would have a "hits to KO" value of 30. This Special must be played, not placed, for the bonus to apply.

Meta Rules
Meta #63 Specials which affect a Character's ability to be K.O.'d or how they can perform after they have been K.O.'d cannot be played defensively unless another part of the Special grants a defensive bonus/ability.

Meta #64 Specials which define someone's Hits to K.O. to be a certain amount (e.g., 'Increase to 30') actually give a bonus of the number of points that are granted to the Hits to K.O. (in the above example, an extra 10 points). Therefore if one had both an 'Increase to 30' Special in play and a 'Hits to K.O. are +2' in play, the hits to K.O. would be 32.

Meta #73 Specials which have a lasting duration remain in play and on the table. The Special card should be positioned next to the Character in a manner in which it is obvious that it is not Placed.

Meta #90 Specials which alter a Character's abilities/skills that have a lasting duration are discarded when the Character is K.O.'d. Should the Character be resurrected or brought back into play later in the game, the discarded Special would not be in effect. Specials with a lasting duration that do not alter a Character (but affect the opponent or a teammate(s), etc.) remain in play after the Character playing the Special has been K.O.'d.

Meta #150 Specials which target a Character must be played against a character - they may not be played against a Special or a Battlesite.
