Cards that affect the Venture total for a specific Battle add or subtract a given number of points to a player's total sum of successful "hits from the current Battle" done during that specific Battle and are added during the "determine Venture winner" phase. (See also: AF Specials.)

Meta Rules
Meta #5 An attack is something which directly affects either the opponent or one of the opponent's Characters. It does not include offensive actions that do not affect the opposing side.

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

Meta #95 Specials which affect how things occur in the next battle prior to the Battle phase (e.g., before placing begins in the next battle) can be negated in the battle in which they are played. Once the next battle begins (and the effect has already taken place) the Special is no longer in play (it is discarded to the Dead Pile) and cannot be negated. Specials which last longer than the placing phase can still be negated.

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.
