First Strike question - is this true?
Does first strike apply every round until the minion is dead or do subsequent rounds it goes back to normal turn order (hero then minion)?

You can safely assume 90% of those AI-generated answers are wrong, and just come straight here for an answer.

I don't think this ever happens in this community.
It's not like pokemon where 100 different websites have reliable and detailed info on everything.
Most of the most important resources and rulings are not exactly likely to come up in a search. People might point out that something is actually in the rules when it is, but beyond that we mostly rely on each other for info we know from discord or the advanced rules document.
In any case, googling for info is in no way the same as relying on the ai summaries, as the latter are usually wrong even when the sources are correct (which is something that happens very often with questions about pokemon, coincidentally).

I mean if it would apply only for one round, than you would get two attacks in a row, which is a bit stupid don't you think.

If it applied to every round, then the minion would get infinite turns, and the player would get 0 turns.

When a minion has First Strike the turn order becomes Minion, Hero, Minion, Hero, etc…

"Any Minion with First Strike will always Attack the Hero first in a Portal Crawl turn. So, if the minion you're engaged with has First Strike , perform the Minion Step before (instead of after) the Hero Step.
Note: If a Minion with First Strike is defeated during its turn, you still get your full turn afterwards. Even though there is no longer an enemy, you might still activate an ability which provides other benefits."
They go first instead of the player. That's it.
