History TabletopGame / Krosmaster

''Krosmaster'' is a series of tabletop miniature games from Creator/AnkamaGames, featuring chibi versions of various characters from the ''Videogame/{{Dofus}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Wakfu}}'' universes. They're currently sold in France, USA, Italy, Germany, Spain, Portugal and China.

* ''Krosmaster Junior'', a simplier game for 2-4 players.

** The second attack of the four Level 3 Knights (one of them is an healing attack, two are [[StatusBuff status buffs]] and one is a StatusEffect) gets more powerful if there are at least two allied Knights. The Darkness Knight also copies the extra powers of every other Knight in play.

** The second attack of Level 2 Bandits gets an extra StatusEffect (or a damage increase in Brakmar Riktus's case) if the target was already attacked by a Bandit in that turn... albeit it could be activated also by the same Bandit attacking twice. The Elite Riktus can also buff other Bandits in play.

* StatusAilment: The most common side effects in the whole game.

* CaptainErsatz / NoCelebritiesWereHarmed / ShoutOut: The list is amazingly huge. The various characters have names such as [[Comicbook/FantasticFour Viktor Don Voom]], [[Franchise/JamesBond Jems Blond]], [[Comicbook/LuckyLuke Luk Ylook]], [[WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo Srammy]], [[Series/AllyMcBeal Ally McZeal]], [[Film/OceanSEleven Dani O'Shun]]...

** If you have at least two Minotors on the field, all their attacks get Pierce Armour.

There are three games currently:

* ''Krosmaster Quest'', which will be released in 2015, a TabletopRPG.

* '''The game itself:''' Krosmasters move on the board and fight each other. Every attack has its particular range and side effects, and dice rolls and powers can affect the damage the Krosmasters will suffer. When a Krosmaster is KO'd, the winning player gets Gallon of Glory tokens (GGs) from the opponent equal to the defeated Krosmaster's level. When a player has control of all of the GGs, they win the game.

* '''Teambuilding:''' a team of Krosmasters's total level must be 12 (individual Krosmaster levels go from 1 to 6), and it haves to be composed from a minimum of 2 to a maximum of 8 Krosmasters. If the Krosmaster's name is written in gold on the card, you can play only one copy of him. If the name is white, maximum 2 copies. Black name, maximum 3 copies.
* '''Stats:''' on his statcard, each Krosmaster haves his initiative number (not only they dictate the order the various Krosmasters will move, but the sum of the whole team's initiative values is used to extabilish which player will go first), Hit Points, Movement Points (the maximum number of steps a Krosmaster can do in each turn), Action Points (You can spend them to attack, collect coins and buy Demonic Rewards), the various attacks the Krosmaster can do and the extra powers he haves.
* '''The game itself:''' Krosmasters move on the board and fight eachother. Every attack haves his particular range and side effects, and dice rolls and powers can affect the damage income the Krosmasters will suffer. When a Krosmaster is KOd, the winning player gets Glory Grade tokens from the opponent. When a player haves no more Glory Grades, the opponent wins.

* CaptainErsatz / NoCelebritiesWereHarmed / ShoutOut: The list is amazingly huge. The various characters have names such as [[Comicbook/FantasticFour Victor Von Doom]], [[Franchise/JamesBond Jems Blond]], [[Comicbook/LuckyLuke Luk Ylook]], [[WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo Srammy]], [[Series/AllyMcBeal Ally McZeal]], [[Film/OceanSEleven Dani O'Shun]]...

* TrueCompanions: Six out of the seven archetypes have this as their particular power.

*** Percedal/Sadlygrove gets the Critical and Lock powers.

** The second attack of Level 2 Bandits gets a StatusAilment extra effect (or a damage increase in Brakmar Riktus's case) if the target was already attacked by a Bandit in that turn... albeit it could be activated also by the same Bandit attacking twice. The Elite Riktus can also buff other Bandits in play.

* CherryTapping: A thing mentioned in the instruction book and forgotten by many people: In addition to the regular attacks found on the statcards, every Krosmaster know the Punch attack, it costs 5 Action Points and it deals a single neutral damage. It's the only way to deal with Krosmasters with the Immunised power.

* ElementalPowers: Attacks come in the four basic elements, but there are also element-less attacks. Also, there are Resistance powers that reduce by 1 the damage of attacks of the corrispondent element, and affiliation powers (Luck - Water, Intelligence - Fire, Agility - Air and Strength - Earth) that gives an extra dice on Critical/Armor rolls when an attack of the right element is involved in battle

* GradualRegeneration: Beelzebug's power gives him back an Hit Point as long as there are 4 or more Vigilantes on the field. And since all his attacks are CastFromHitPoints, ''he needs it''.

** ''Cross:'' the main target and the four adjacent spaces.
** ''Square:'' the main target and the 8 spaces around.
** ''Hammer:'' the main target, the space behind him and the spaces at his left and right (from the attacker's point of view).
** ''Staff:'' the main target and the spaces at his left and right (from the attacker's point of view).
** ''Shovel:'' the main target and the space behind him (from the attacker's point of view).
** ''Axe:'' the main target, either the space at the attacker's left or the one at the attacker's right and the one making the corner between the other two.
** ''Hand:'' the main target and the two spaces behind him (from the attacker's point of view).
** ''Breath:'' the main target, the space behind him and the two spaces at that space's left and right sides (from the attacker's point of view).
** ''Multiple targets'': Every Krosmaster that can be reached in the attack's radius must be attacked, even if it's an ally.
