Ink

Ink is a debuff applied by some Clunkmaster cards. It disables all of a card's abilities, and it counts down by 1 at the end of each turn.

Information and Strategy

Ink is an effect exclusive to the Clunkmaster tribe. A card with Ink has all its ability text crossed out, effectively treating its text box as though it were blank. However, an Inked card can still gain abilities from other sources, although they will not do anything. The card also cannot gain any ability that it already possesses; for instance, the Magma Booster cannot be used on an Inked card if it already has Aimless.

Note that although Ink negates a card's effects, it will not affect the card's stats in any way. The card's Counter, attack, and Frenzy will all stay the same, it keeps all buffs and debuffs it has, and it will not lose Resist Snow.

Reactions are always in the form of an ability (the most common being Smackback), so Inking a card will negate any and all Reactions it has. If such a card doesn't have a Counter, such as Mimik, it will never trigger while Inked. If a card has an effect or Reaction that activates when hit, such as Gobling or Maw Jaw, the card's effects will be negated before they can activate. For instance, using the Flask of Ink on a Gobling will count as hitting it, but because it Inks the Gobling it will not drop any Blings. Likewise, using the Flask of Ink on Maw Jaw will negate its effects before its Reaction can trigger, and it will not counterattack.

The Wild ability is shut down on both fronts by Ink. The Inked card is treated as though it did not have Wild, so it will not gain Frenzy if a Wild card is destroyed, and other Wild cards will not gain Frenzy if the Inked card is destroyed.
