2. Check the criteria
Different skills have different requirements if you want to use them. After you select a skill, you need to check its requirement if you want to use it.
This part on the card gives information about the skill. The first line always is the criteria to use the skill. The rest is the instructions and limitations of how the skill should be used.
3. Check player status
After you know the criteria, you have to know your player status first so you can check the result. However, when you check the player status for skills, please note that there are limitations to use the skill.
4. Check the result
Once you know the criteria, you have to do the same routine as you did when doing other actions.

5. Match or do not match the criteria
If the result does match the criteria, what you have to do next is follow the instructions on the card. Most of the skills are traps. Only some of them are not. Either way, if the result doesn’t match the criteria, it means you fail to use the skill. You need to recover the card whether you successfully use the skill or not, and you can sill try to use the same skill by spending another action.
6. Set a trap
When the result matches the criteria on the skill card and the skill is a trap, it means you can set a trap on your current location. To do that, you have to put a shard on the area to represent there is a trap in that area. Please note that only 1 trap is allowed in an area at a time.
Once you successfully use a skill for traps, you need to cover the sign on the area with a shard( not the shard from your element or resource stack). It shows you there is a trap in that area, you can try to lure creatures to that area. Only 1 trap is allowed in an area.
7. Trigger the trap
If there are creatures in(or moves in) the same area, all the creatures that are in the trap’s shooting distance will be affected.
