Thorn's Battle Instinct
Offensive Yes
Defensive No
Duration Instant

This Special may be used as an attack without the additional part of the Special being used. It always allows a Universe card (not Power card) to be used in conjunction with the Special card. If this is done and the attack is successful, some Specials indicate that the Universe card's bonus is added to the Venture total at the end of the Battle (others specify that it cannot be added in). In either case, the Universe card bonus does not affect the damage to the Character. The Universe card must be usable by the Character and must match the Power type of the Special card being used in conjunction with it. This Special may not be used or linked in any way with a Teamwork card.

Meta Rules

Meta #34 Bonuses/penalties granted by Special cards are never counted towards damage or Venture Total unless specifically stated otherwise on the Special.

Meta #79 When a Special indicates that it may "combine" with a universe card, it is referring only to Basic Universe cards and Training card (unless it states otherwise).

Meta #80 When a Special indicates specifically that it may not be combined with a Universe card, this includes Universe cards such as Captain Universe (which normally can be used with Special cards).

Meta #132 When a Special affects the usability/effectiveness of Universe cards, it can only be played with a Universe card if the Special specifically says so.

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.
