Trivia
- If Immune effects cause a character that is capable of attack to have no valid targets to attack, clicking on them will produce a "You cannot play that without a target" message across the battlefield, and the "I can`t play that" emote from the hero. The character will also not be highlighted green, despite their ability to attack.
