Meta Rules
Meta #40 Played defensively, negates cause Specials played by the opponent to be defended. Any actions described by the Special that should not be performed upon its success (discarding cards, being unable to attack, follow-up attacks, etc.) should not be performed.

Meta #53 Specials with lasting effects remain in play even if the Character who played the Special is K.O.'d.

Meta #58 Negates are considered a card being played defensively. If a Special indicates that it cannot be defended by a Special card, then a Negate cannot be used to defend the attack (although it may be used afterwards offensively to negate the effect). If a Special card indicates that it can only be defended by a specific type of card, then this excludes all other cards (including negates).

Meta #149 Cards that affect Venture Total affect the number of points that are calculated at the end of the battle to determine the winner of the battle. They do not affect the number of Mission cards Ventured.

Meta #157 If a Special indicates what to do if it is defended or otherwise not successful, then the second aspect of the Special only takes place in the event that the initial attack is defended. If the hit lands and is later negated, then the subsequent action does not come into effect.
