Hello all, I just picked up the CCG last night and I had a question on multiplayer battle action turn orders.
Mantis, Spider and Scorpion are all playing, Spider attacks Mantis. Mantis offers an ally to the Scorpion who accept. The rules state that the defender takes the first Battle Action, but when do the Scorpion take theirs? Three possibilities we thought of last night were:
- All Defenders take actions, then all Attackers - Defender, Attacker, Defender Ally, Attacker Ally, repeat - Defender, then to the left person
We weren't sure which was the correct way, and I haven't been able to search up an answer either. Thank you for the assistance.

Defender starts, then clockwise around the table.
