Battle Rules

• If the Bakugan rolls on a gate card that an enemy’s Bakugan is on, a battle will start

• Both players can activate ability cards simultaneously

• This is the time to play ability cards that state

  • “Before a battle starts” or “before the gate card is revealed” etc. This includes “Play during a battle” cards

• You can play as many of those ability cards as you want until the Gate card is opened (Play during battle can be played throughout entire battle).

• Gate cards do not have to be open!

• Reference cards are now wild cards, and can count towards any red, blue, or green ability, and will be considered “use during a battle“, and go into used pile after the ability on the card is played.

• If the Gear is attached to a Bakugan of a listed Attribute, the corresponding effect happens.

• If the Gear's Color Attribute matches the Gate color, the Gear's owner chooses which effect takes place.

• If the battle is on a gate card that the is not owned by any battler, (if there are no teams) it will automatically open after the first turn of ability cards are played by each player. (each player plays 1, or have agreement after 1 player plays or none play cards, that the round is up, and is ok to open Gate Card), (team player with Gate Card that the battle is on can chose to open Gate card at ant point)

• If the battle starts on one of the owners gate cards, the owner of it will choose when the gate Card opens, if at all.

• During battle, Traps and Battle Gear can only be played if a gate card is opened

• A battle is playing ability cards, traps, and gear to best your opponent

• The power level of the battle is determined by the amount of gate cards won by battle

• If there is a draw then both player’s Bakugan go to their used pile, Gate Card stays open on the field, no change in Life Points, or Power Level

• If you win a Gate Card, the Power Level of the game goes up by +1, losing player loses Life points/ gets Bakugan Knocked out

• Once all of your Bakugan are in your used pile, move them, Traps, and Battle gear in the used pile, back into your unused pile, all cards remain in the used pile

• Gate cards and ability cards overrule game rules

• All Bakugan and Cards must be legal! All bakugan have specific G-Powers in which they were created with. Example here: Aranaut. As you can see, as per Aranaut and its G-Powers are

  • Pyrus- 730G, 750G, 760G

  • Aquos- 650G, 780G

  • Subterra- 640G, 740G

  • Haos- 540G (Japan), 680G, 760G, 770G, 800G

  • Darkus- 720G, 760G, 810G

  • Ventus- 620G, 700G, 780G

• If your Bakugan does not have one of the Base G-Powers for is type/attribute, it is not legal and cannot be played, this goes for cards as well.

• All games are 2-4 player battles in any arrangement

  • 1 vs 1

  • 1 vs 2 1 vs 1 vs 1
