Can I skip the Combat Phase if there are no Intruder or Monster on the board?
Quick answer
Yes, if you have no attached Enemies, you skip the Combat Phase (unless a Scenario rule overrides this).
Details
The Combat Phase is skipped if a player has no attached Enemies. According to the rulebook:
- "If a player doesn't have any attached Enemies, they must skip the Combat phase (be aware of any potential special rules introduced by specific Scenarios though!)" [p.15 — Combat Phase].
Attached Enemies are those placed on the left side of your Player Board during the Trace Roll step or other game effects. Enemies on the map (e.g., Bosses or environmental threats) do not count as "attached" unless explicitly stated.
Watch out:
Some Scenarios may introduce special rules that force players to resolve the Combat Phase even without attached Enemies (e.g., environmental hazards or mandatory Boss encounters). Always check the active Scenario card or sheet for exceptions.
