"Automatically defeated" question in Harry Potter Munchkin
At level 9 I fought a monster that is "automatically defeated by Cedric Diggory" (who I already had as my Ally).
Is the game over at that point if nobody plays a Wandering Monster on me or can they play Finite! (the card that says "your turn is over, skip to charity phase") ? Similar question when fighting Griphook, because you can defeat him by just paying him 500 coins instead (and you get the level, not the treasures). Thanks! |

Re: "Automatically defeated" question in Harry Potter Munchkin
To go from Level 9 to Level 10 (win condition), a player must kill a Monster, unless the card says otherwise. Kill means total strength/power of the player(s) in Combat, and defeat means anything other than a player(s) combine strength/power basically.
If the card had stated, "automatically killed by Cedric Diggory" then yes, you would go to Level 10 (win). However, defeat means you cannot gain the winning Level. |

Re: "Automatically defeated" question in Harry Potter Munchkin
Important Note #1 in the FAQ states that cards that say they "Defeat" a monster are "killing" the monster, therefore can give you the winning level.

"If a card says a monster is automatically defeated, this counts as a kill unless the card says otherwise." My question is: can anyone play a card once that monster has been killed (other than a wandering monster) or not? For example, the "Steal a level" card could be played after the monster is killed/defeated/etc. because it waits for you to go up to level 10. |

Re: "Automatically defeated" question in Harry Potter Munchkin
When the player kills the monster, they instantly become level-10 and win. You cannot prevent that unless the card you play specifically says it can prevent someone from winning. The July 2018 update says that combat ends when the last monster is killed. This would prevent you from playing a Wandering Monster to prevent the win.

So it seems like "Steal a level" is the only card that could prevent such a win... because even strong cards like Annihilation would no longer have any effect at that point. |
