Ink.png 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 Clunkmasters Tribe. A card with Ink has all its ability text crossed out, effectively treating its text box as though it were blank. Although an Inked card can still gain abilities from other sources (e.g. Gachapomper and Magma Booster), these additional abilities will also be negated. The card also cannot gain any keyword ability that it already possesses, even if that ability is negated by Ink. For instance, if an Inked card has Aimless, it cannot have the Magma Booster used on it, as this would add a redundant keyword.

Ink Interactions

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 all stay the same, it keeps all buffs and debuffs it has, and it will not lose   Resist Snow.

All   Reactions are in the form of an ability (the most common being Smackback), so Inking a card will negate any and all Reactions it has. If a card only has a Reaction and has no Counter, such as Mimik, it will never trigger while Inked unless triggered by an external source, such as the Sunglass Chime. 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, since the Flask of Ink has an attack icon, 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.

Ink negates Shades' Summoned ability, which allows them to be recalled to the discard pocket and redeployed like other Companions.
