pre:

- Players each choose and play a move pair face-down.
(In play-by-post, you PM me your pairs.)

- Players ante, if they can.
(Adjenna is the only character this match who can ante, as per Alexian's UA.
ActingPower can just include their ante in their PM.)

- Move pairs are revealed.
--- Any Reveal effects take place now.

-Priorities are compared.
------ The character with the higher priority is the Active Character for the beat, and moves first.
------ The character with the lower priority is the Reactive Character.
------ If the players played moves of equal priority, they Clash.
(This can be used to prevent your opponent from making a move you really don't like.)
--------- If this happens, the players must submit new Bases.
--------- At the end of the beat, the new Base is the one discarded with the Style.
--------- The old Base simply returns to its player's hand at the end of the beat.
--------- If the first Base a player played has a Reveal effect, that effect still takes place.
--------- Reveal effects from subsequent Bases do not take place.
--------- Multiple clashes can (and probably will) occur consecutively.
--------- If players clash until somebody has no Bases left, they immediately recycle and start the next beat.

-Start of Beat effects take place, if the players have any.
--- If both characters have SoB effects, the active character resolves their effects first.

- The Active Character makes their move.
--- Before Activating effects take place.
--- The player checks range, to see if they hit their opponent. Range 1 is the spaces adjacent to you, etc.
------ On Hit effects take place.
------ Damage is calculated. Damage = attacking character's Power - defending character's Soak.
(Other effects may also influence Damage.)
--------- If Damage is greater than the defending character's Stun Guard, that player is stunned.
--------- If Damage is greater than zero, On Damage effects take place.
--- After Activating effects take place.

- The Reactive Character makes their move.
--- See Active Character's move structure.

- End of Beat effects take place.

- Players discard their move pairs, cycling their discards and returning their second discard to their hand.
--- Recycle effects take place. (These are really rare.)

- The timer ticks forward and the next beat begins.
