===Game Effect===
<onlyinclude>Linear creates an area of effect that looks like a line drawn from the center of the character's square to the center of the target square: the area includes every passable square that line crosses, and any characters in those squares, except the character's own square. The area of effect is shown by a yellow overlay at the time the linear card is played. The character must have [[Line of Sight|line of sight]] with the target square, but not necessarily all the intervening squares, so the area may include squares a character could not normally target. Within the area of effect, the card's instructions are performed on every character and/or tile as if a number of identical copies were played to each one individually. The exact order in which the copies take effect is determined by the game engine; effects that target characters are processed before effects that target terrain if both are present on the same card.</onlyinclude>

===General Strategy===


*Use linear effects to target multiple characters at one time. Try to find a placement with several targets in order to increase the power of your card. You may want to save your card until the enemy has moved into a suitable configuration.

*By default, the line includes all characters, including yours. Avoid collateral damage unless you're sure the payoff is worth the pain.

*Linear effects tend to be most effective in situations where terrain or other circumstance pressures enemies into moving through a section of adjacent tiles.

====Against opponents who use Linear:====
*Try to avoid moving your characters in a line to be targeted together. All tiles along the line will be laterally or diagonally adjacent; the exact configuration depends on the angle chosen.
**Mousing over a character to check its lines of sight can give an approximate idea but, as discussed, not a true guide. If you must know exactly, you may find holding a straight edge against the screen helps to visualize possibilities.
