How 【Activate】 works

【Activate･Main】 and 【Activate･Action】 effects are abilities you choose to use at the stated timing, paying whatever cost comes before the effect. Usually that means resting the card; sometimes it means discarding or paying resources. The cost-colon-effect structure in the card text tells you what you spend and what you get.

Unlike triggered effects such as 【Deploy】, 【Attack】 and 【Destroyed】, an Activate effect never fires on its own. And unless it says 【Once per Turn】, you can use it as many times as you can pay for it.
