@WayneWeibel Yeah. The later years get pretty brutal if you get a bad combination of villains.

<p>The scenario we had was:</p>

<ul>
<li>Dementor: reward is - gain 1 heart, remove 1 from location </li>
<li>Fenrik: heros can not gain hearts </li>
<li>Crouch: heros can not remove from location</li>
</ul>

<p>So, if we defeat the Dementor first, is the reward essentially wasted, due to the other villains, or does the reward still apply since it is not a 'hero' triggering the effect?</p>

In Hogwart's Battle, do villain cards negate rewards from defeating a villain?

The scenario we had was:

* Dementor: reward is - gain 1 heart, remove 1 from location
* Fenrik: heros can not gain hearts
* Crouch: heros can not remove from location

So, if we defeat the Dementor first, is the reward essentially wasted, due to the other villains, or does the reward still apply since it is not a 'hero' triggering the effect?
