Answer

Ruling: Players cannot play reactions during the end step unless something triggers that creates a chain. Phase changes do not grant priority on their own.

Sequence:

  • During your turn, you can play actions/reactions when you have priority
  • When you pass turn, phase changes (including to end step) do not grant priority to either player
  • Priority is only granted off-turn during chains (passing priority) or showdowns (passing focus/priority)
  • If a triggered ability occurs in the end step, it goes on the chain and creates reaction windows

Nuances:

  • Playing units or gear does not create a priority window for the opponent
  • Some cards like Annie legend or Jinx legend always go on the chain at their respective phases, which would create reaction windows
  • You must have priority to play cards, and off-turn you only get priority during chains or showdowns
