Breaking ice with clicks

[gavinwatson 14]

Hi Guys,

 

Really quick question..

 

Some ICE cards say you can use clicks to break subroutines... do you have to first match the power of the ice with a suitable ice breaker first before you can use the clicks? If no, that technically means that Hemdall can be sailed passed if you willing to use your full turn to do so... 1st click to make a run then 3 clicks to break the subroutines... not taking into account cards that give you additional clicks or free runs of course.

 

Thanks for the help,

You don't need a breaker at all, since the option to break subroutines by paying clicks is right on the ICE. So you can absolutely use your entire turn to run past a Heimdall for "free". It might not always be your best option but it's possible.

Protip, don't put Wotan on a remote. You never know when a Runner will pay the Iron Price to get an agenda.

Wotan must be one of the top picks for a sub boost.
