Unit Dashboards
Each monster has a front card (name and star rating), a dashboard with a stat table and a dashboard tag line, and one or more talent panels. The dashboard table is shown with its columns numbered, because the column headings are not legible in the photograph.
Teumessian Fox
- Front card: 5 stars.
- Dashboard tags (as printed, one per line): Mobility; Torment; Climb.
- Dashboard name banner: TEUMESSIAN FOX, with a circled 3 beside it.
| Row | Col. 1 | Col. 2 | Col. 3 | Col. 4 | Col. 5 | Col. 6 (coloured track) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 6 | 8 | ◊ | 2 | [icon] X | 6 |
| 2 | 6 | 8 | ◊ | 2 | [icon] X | 5 |
| 3 | 6 | 8 | ◊ | 2 | [icon] X | 4 |
| 4 | 6 | 7 |
The track in column 6 is coloured green (high) to red (low) and is numbered 6 to 1 on the dashboard. The dashboard does not print a name for any column.
Talents
Uncatchable (talent symbol: an hourglass-style icon)
If an enemy unit walks or runs into the same area as the Teumession Fox, its must end its action, as normal.
The Teumession Fox may then immediately move 1 area for free.
The Teumession Fox is not affected by Block.
Chimera
- Front card: 4 stars. The front card is labelled CHIMERE; the dashboard is labelled CHIMERA. Both are transcribed as printed.
- Dashboard tags (as printed): Mighty Throw Block.
- Dashboard name banner: CHIMERA, with a circled glyph beside it (not identified; see Gaps) and a circled emblem at its right end (not identified).
| Row | Col. 1 | Col. 2 | Col. 3 | Col. 4 | Col. 5 | Col. 6 (coloured track) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 8 | 8 | ◊ | 2 | [icon] [icon] | 8 |
| 2 | 8 | 8 | ◊ | 2 | [icon] [icon] | 7 |
| 3 | 7 | 8 | ◊ | 2 | [icon] [icon] | 6 |
| 4 | 7 | 7 |
The track in column 6 is coloured green (high) to red (low) and is numbered 8 to 1 on the dashboard. Column 5 is a pair of unidentified icons on each row except the last, which shows one icon and a dash.
Talents
Chimera's Bite (header: a hand icon and a single ∧ mark; a sword icon with 5 and a bow icon with 0)
At the end of the Chimera's activation, make a 5 dice, range 0 attack.
Fiery Breath (header: a hand icon and two ∧ marks; a sword icon with 6 and a bow icon with 1)
At the end of the Chimera's activation, make a 6 dice, range 1 area attack.
Basilisk
- Front card: 4 stars.
- Dashboard tags (as printed): Torment Block Climb.
- Dashboard name banner: BASILISK, with a circled 3 beside it.
| Row | Col. 1 | Col. 2 | Col. 3 | Col. 4 | Col. 5 | Col. 6 (coloured track) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 6 | 7 | ◊ | 2 | [icon] [icon] | 7 |
| 2 | 6 | 7 | ◊ | 2 | [icon] [icon] | 6 |
| 3 | 6 | 7 | ◊ | 2 | [icon] [icon] | 5 |
| 4 | 5 | 6 |
The track in column 6 is coloured green (high) to red (low) and is numbered 7 to 1 on the dashboard. Column 5 is a pair of unidentified icons on each row except the last, which shows one icon and a dash.
Talents
Petrify (header: a hand icon and two ∧ marks; a circled 4 at the right end of the header)
In the Basilisk's area, all troops are destroyed. Other units drop any claimed omphalos and get 1 Petrify token each. Basilisk is not affected. The Basilisk's owner chooses if there are not enough tokens to go around.
A unit with a Petrify token cannot activate normally. If the unit is activated, its only option is to discard 1 act of war card to remove 1 Petrify token. This counts as a complex action.
A unit with a Petrify token cannot retaliate, recall, or use any talents or powers.
Poison Bite (header: a boxed icon, not identified)
If the Basilisk's attack causes any wounds, make an additional 5 dice attack against the same target.
Gaps
The photograph is the only source. It is a single 768 × 1024 image; no higher-resolution original was available from BGG. The following could not be transcribed, or could only be partly read. Nothing in these sections has been filled in from memory or from the base game.
- Activation cards (5 per BGG's description): not in the photograph. No activation card text is transcribed.
- Scenario (1 per BGG's description): not in the photograph. No scenario setup, objectives or rules are transcribed.
- Leaflet and epilogue sheets: not in the photograph. The narrative sheets are not rules and are not transcribed.
- Expansion setup and placement rules: not in the photograph.
- Column headings for the stat tables: the names of columns 1 to 5 and the track are not legible, so the tables use numbered columns.
- Column 5 icons, and the icons in the stat columns: not identified. They are shown as [icon] placeholders.
- Talent and name-banner symbols: the hand, hourglass, boxed and circled icons, and the ∧ marks, are not identified. Only their position and the printed names and text are transcribed.
- Circled values: the circled 3 on the Teumessian Fox and Basilisk banners, the circled 4 on the Petrify header, and the circled glyph and emblem on the Chimera banner are read or partly read. The Chimera's left glyph in particular is not confirmed.
- Petrify, second paragraph: the word after "discard 1" is blurred. It is read here as "act of war card", the term the base game uses for its activation cards. This is a reading, not a verified print.
- Poison Bite, damage number: the number is read as 5 at the photograph's resolution.
Rules for the base Mythic Battles: Pantheon game (turns, dice, unit activation, attack and defence, and the terms "offence", "defence", "range", "retaliate", "block", "torment", "climb", "mighty throw" and "omphalos") are not reproduced here. They belong to the base game's rulebook.
