__TOC__
 
== Combat & Attacks ==
 
'''Q:''' What's the resolution order for an Attack with Sweep?
 
'''A (Dockel):''' Attack roll(s) → if the Target is Hit, Sweep procs → damage roll(s) on all affected models → if at least one Wound is dealt to the Target, Finishing Strike can be used against the Target (with the possibility of another Sweep).
 
----
 
'''Q:''' Can a Flying model be hit by a melee Sweep, and do models hit by Sweep count as targets?
 
'''A (Dockel):''' A Flying model cannot be targeted by a melee attack (unless it chooses to melee attack itself), but it will take a Hit if it is within RCH of a Sweep attack that Hit another target. Per STK there is a single target; models hit by Sweep are not 'targets'. You can even Sweep Shrouded models if you can hit someone next to them.
 
----
 
'''Q:''' What's the difference between Sweep and Cleave?
 
'''A (Dockel):''' Sweep is a wide arc attack (roll damage separately for each affected model), while Cleave is a single attack so powerful it deals double damage (one extra Wound as long as at least 1 Wound was dealt).
 
----
 
'''Q:''' A model shows Knockdown X, but the rules have no X value for Knockdown. What's correct?
 
'''A (meksmaks):''' The description should simply read Knockdown — the X belongs to the Fencing IV combat art. Treat it as plain Knockdown.
 
----
 
'''Q:''' If I hit my Target (A1) and also hit A2/A3 with the same attack, do they all get Knockdown?
 
'''A (Dockel):''' They are Hit by the attack, but only the Target (A1) is Hit with Knockdown. With a Targetless weapon you can't apply Knockdown at all, since you'd be 'tripping' the point used for Targetless rather than a model.
 
----
 
'''Q:''' How does Burn deal its damage?
 
'''A (Dockel / meksmaks):''' Burn only triggers if the initial attack dealt at least 1 Wound. You then roll additional Burns based on the Burn (X) value, against the attack's PW and ignoring the target's ARM — these are extra rolls, not auto-wounds.
 
----
 
'''Q:''' Does Duelist stop everyone from using Combat Arts I–III, or only the targeted model?
 
'''A (Dockel):''' A model targeted by Duelist cannot use its I–III Combat Arts; if it declared such a Combat Art in reaction and is then targeted by Duelist, that Combat Art's effect is voided. Level IV is unaffected.
 
----
 
'''Q:''' How many times can Finishing Strike trigger per activation?
 
'''A (Dockel):''' Only once per activation sequence — a Wound happens only a single time.
 
----
 
'''Q:''' When does Chain Attack trigger?
 
'''A (Dockel):''' Chain Attack requires a successful Hit made by another friendly model, and it is rolled on the Hit, not on the Damage/Wound.
 
----
 
'''Q:''' If several models wound a Berserker in the same activation sequence, can it ignore all the wounds?
 
'''A (Dockel / meksmaks):''' Yes — Berserker can nullify all simultaneous damage rolls, even from different attackers. The Berserker roll happens when the model is to suffer a Wound (after the damage rolls); effects like Cleave, Burn and Finishing Strike occur on Wounding, so if Berserker negates the wounding damage, those effects don't apply either.
 
----
 
'''Q:''' How does Hit and Retreat interact with Impede?
 
'''A (Dockel):''' As soon as Engaged is dropped via Hit and Retreat, a model with Impede that is in melee RCH can declare an Attack of Opportunity, which — thanks to the Impede ruling — instantly re-applies the Engaged state and stops the model.
 
----
 
'''Q:''' Can Impede be triggered just by declaring intent to attack?
 
'''A (Dockel):''' No. For Impede, the point of Attack means the attack must actually be happening — Impede can't be procced by merely announcing intent.
 
----
 
'''Q:''' How do STK and Quantity interact for Consumables versus Throwing weapons?
 
'''A (Dockel):''' Consumables — X STK uses a single Quantity. Throwing — X STK uses X Quantity (e.g., throwing 2 daggers uses both).
 
----
 
'''Q:''' My model is attacked and attacks back, while other enemies also attack it. Who participates in the confrontation?
 
'''A (meksmaks / Dockel):''' Confrontation occurs only between two models that are targeting each other. Other attacks simply go through. A successful Attack Roll is one that has already passed (wasn't cancelled by) the confrontation.
 
----
 
'''Q:''' When is the Assassination IV effect (all crits) applied — before or after the confrontation roll?
 
'''A (Dockel):''' After confrontation, because attack rolls become confrontation rolls, which only count as successful if they meet the winning confrontation criteria.
 
----
 
== Reactions & Stealth ==
 
'''Q:''' Can you use Attack of Opportunity against a model with Stealth that begins its activation outside your Line of Sight?
 
'''A (meksmaks):''' To target it you need Line of Sight — Stealth I voids even Clairvoyance. With no LoS against an Active model with Stealth, there is no chance to react. If you gain LoS during its movement: Dodge is always possible; Attack of Opportunity is possible only if both LoS and RCH are met at the same time during the Active model's Movement Step.
 
----
 
'''Q:''' As a reactive player, does Fencing I (the −3 modifier) work even when I'm out of actions?
 
'''A (Dockel):''' To use Combat Arts you must target an enemy model, which cannot be done without spending an Activation Token.
 
----
 
'''Q:''' Is Attack of Opportunity available in the Active role?
 
'''A (meksmaks):''' No — Attack of Opportunity is a Reaction; it isn't used in the Active role.


----
----


'''Q:''' If several models are under an AoE attack and one declares Dodge, is the whole attack cancelled?
== [[Line of Sight|Line of Sight]] ==
 
'''A (Dockel):''' Dodge is not a confrontation, so it doesn't cancel the attack. A model that passes its Dodge simply ignores it; others under the template who didn't Dodge are still Hit if the attack succeeded.


----
<section begin="Line_of_Sight" />


'''Q:''' Can I use Protector and also declare an Attack or Dodge by spending a second AP in the same reaction?
'''Q:''' How many lines do you need to draw to establish Line of Sight?


'''A (meksmaks):''' Yes, but the order is reversed. First you declare Dodge or Attack in the Reaction step; then, in the Action step after the Active model declares its Attack, you use Protector.
'''A (meksmaks, Jun 24, 2026):''' You only need to draw 1 line to be considered as having LoS. The player commanding the attacking model chooses which line to draw. If you can also draw a line that passes through terrain/obstruction, apply its Cover effect accordingly.


----
----


'''Q:''' Does Protector work against a Finishing Strike, and does the Protector need LoS to the attack's target?
'''Q:''' Can a model use another model (friend or foe) as Cover?


'''A (Dockel):''' Finishing Strike can only be used against the Targets of an Attack. If Protector became the new Target, only Protector is a valid model for Finishing Strike. The Protector does not need LoS to the original target.
'''A (meksmaks, Jun 24, 2026):''' Models can block off LoS to one another, but they do not provide Cover per se. The Cover section begins with 'a piece of scenery' — Cover requires terrain, not models.


----
----


'''Q:''' Can I declare an Attack against a Shrouded enemy?
'''Q:''' If a model's Hitbox is only partially visible, does it have Cover?


'''A (Dockel):''' No. The Shrouded state restricts targeting the model with any action other than Perceive. You can't declare an Attack on it. If you declared Dodge or Perceive against a Shrouded model and it reveals itself, you may switch your Reaction.
'''A (meksmaks, Jun 24, 2026):''' If any player can draw a line between attacker and target that passes through terrain (wider and taller than the target) and the target is within 1" of that terrain, the target has Heavy Cover.


----
----


'''Q:''' Can you affect a Shrouded model with a Targetless AoE spell?
'''Q:''' Which models cannot benefit from Cover at all?


'''A (Dockel):''' You're not targeting the model, but you can target a visible point nearby thanks to the Targetless rule, and a Shrouded model under the template will be affected.
'''A (meksmaks, Jun 24, 2026):''' Models larger than Size: Large cannot get Cover.


----
----


'''Q:''' Does a Sentinel with Vigilance see in all directions and resist Surprise Attack?
'''Q:''' Does Cover apply if some LoS lines are clear and others pass through terrain?


'''A (meksmaks):''' Yes — Vigilance grants 360° awareness and immunity to Surprise Attack, and it keeps STK 2 on reactive shots. To shut it down, engage it in melee first.
'''A (deokel, Jun 24, 2026):''' You only need one unobstructed line to establish LoS. But if any player can simultaneously draw a line through terrain, Cover applies — even if another line is unobstructed. The attacking player chooses the LoS line; Cover is assessed separately from any line that passes through relevant terrain.


----
----
<section end="Line_of_Sight" />


== Spells & Magic ==
== [[Cover|Cover]] ==


'''Q:''' Does Regeneration work while a model is Incapacitated, even if it was granted by an Enchantment?
<section begin="Cover" />
 
'''A (meksmaks / Dockel):''' Skills and Classes don't work while Incapacitated — you must pass the Recovery Roll first. An Enchantment that grants Regeneration only gives the Skill; the model still can't use it while Incapacitated.
 
----


'''Q:''' In reaction, can I cast a spell to heal myself or an ally instead of acting against the opponent?
'''Q:''' Do Cover and Haze Bombs stack?


'''A (Dockel):''' If the spell is not an Enchantment or Healing type, you can perform a reactive Assist on an allied model with it. Ward is a valid Assist in reaction, while Enchantments can't be cast in reaction.
'''A (meksmaks, May 17, 2026):''' Yes — Cover and Haze Bombs stack.


----
----


'''Q:''' How do you remove a summoned creature with Dispel?
'''Q:''' If the Protector steps in front of an attack, do Cover modifiers use the Protector's position or the original target's?


'''A (meksmaks):''' Dispel must be cast as an Attack to remove a Summon, so it must target the creature (you can't use Targetless). Just as it can be Dodged, it can also be avoided with a Ward.
'''A (deokel, May 10, 2026):''' All modifiers — including Cover — apply based on the Protector's actual position. Smart positioning of the Protector is rewarded by the rules.


----
----
<section end="Cover" />


'''Q:''' Does the Sorcerer/Wizard reroll let you reroll a failed damage roll?
== [[Haze Bombs|Haze Bombs]] ==
 
'''A (meksmaks):''' No. The reroll applies only to the casting roll — Mage, Sorcerer and Wizard do not allow rerolling damage rolls.


----
<section begin="Haze_Bombs" />


'''Q:''' Does placing a Targetless template require a successful ACC roll?
'''Q:''' Do the modifiers from Haze and Cover stack with each other?


'''A (meksmaks):''' Yes — in the Active role it's a Targetless action, but it's still an attack/assist that requires an ACC roll.
'''A (meksmaks, May 17, 2026):''' Yes, they stack.


----
----


'''Q:''' Can the Targetless trait be used in reaction?
'''Q:''' Can Haze Bombs be used in Reaction to target friendly models?


'''A (Dockel):''' No — Targetless applies only during the Active role. AoE templates can still be positioned in reaction, but without the Targetless benefit.
'''A (meksmaks, Mar 15, 2026):''' Yes — in Reaction it becomes an Assist. You can target your own models within range, but they must end up fully under the template.


----
----


'''Q:''' How does Charm interact with a model's reaction?
'''Q:''' Does placing a Haze Bomb template require a successful ACC roll?


'''A (meksmaks):''' The first part of Charm happens during the Reaction step. If you target a Charm II model with an Attack as a reaction and fail the INT roll, your reaction changes to Nothing. Targetless reactions like Dodge don't trigger Charm.
'''A (meksmaks, Mar 15, 2026):''' Yes. In the Active Role it is a Targetless action, but it is still an Attack/Assist requiring an ACC roll (plus any Reroll).


----
----


== Movement & Deployment ==
<section end="Haze_Bombs" />


'''Q:''' How does Hit and Retreat work when a model is engaged by two enemies?
== [[Modifiers|Modifiers]] ==


'''A (Dockel):''' Activate with Hit and Retreat → declare the skill to break Engaged and move freely (enemies can still declare Attacks of Opportunity) → Movement → Reactions → Action → if your Action was an Attack, you may then perform a Normal Movement → if you end outside the enemies' melee reach, Engaged is not applied.
<section begin="Modifiers" />


----
'''Q:''' What does 'unmodified STK 1' mean — can it be boosted by other effects?


'''Q:''' Can an Engaged model use Protector to move out of engagement?
'''A (meksmaks, May 06–17, 2026):''' To perform an unmodified STK 1 means you cannot modify the STK value at all. In the 1.6 ruleset, hard caps on STK — such as those from Crouched, Dash, or Flying — are intended to be unmodifiable.
 
'''A (Dockel):''' Yes. Being Engaged only affects the Declaration of Movement. With Protector you don't Declare Movement, so you can break the Engaged state that way.


----
----


'''Q:''' How does Dash enable Hit and Retreat?
<section end="Modifiers" />


'''A (meksmaks / Dockel):''' Dash lets a model declare a special, limited (unmodified, 1 STK) melee Attack Action on top of declaring the Special Movement Run — which is normally not allowed. That declared Attack is what Hit and Retreat needs to function.
== [[Stealth|Stealth]] ==


----
<section begin="Stealth" />


== States & Recovery ==
'''Q:''' Can you use Attack of Opportunity against a Stealth model that begins its activation outside your LoS?


'''Q:''' Can a model enter the Flying state at the start of its movement and cancel it at the end of the same movement?
'''A (meksmaks, Feb 02, 2026):''' You need LoS to target — Stealth I voids even Clairvoyance. With no LoS, no Reaction is possible. If you gain LoS during movement: Dodge is always possible; Attack of Opportunity requires both LoS and RCH met simultaneously during the Movement Step; a normal reactive Attack requires LoS to declare and RCH + LoS met during Resolution.
 
'''A (meksmaks / Dockel):''' No — the model may either enter OR cancel the Flying state during the Movement Step, not both.


----
----


'''Q:''' What does being Crouched do?
'''Q:''' Does a Shrouded model immediately reveal when it declares an Attack?


'''A (meksmaks):''' Crouched halves ARM, caps STK at 1, disables Engaging the enemy, dismounts Riders, cancels Flying, halves SPD, and grants Light Cover.
'''A (meksmaks / Dockel, Mar 19, 2026):''' Yes — when a Shrouded model declares an Attack, it reveals itself instantly. Exception: if the target has Vigilance, the Vigilant model can still declare a Reaction.


----
----


'''Q:''' How do Panicked and Engaged interact for forced movement?
'''Q:''' Does Perceive only work within Awareness range?


'''A (Dockel):''' Engaged takes priority — while Engaged you may only move directly toward the engaging model. That's why a Panicked model that fails its Morale check while Engaged has to Dodge instead.
'''A (meksmaks, Mar 19, 2026):''' Yes — Perceive only works within the model's Awareness.


----
----


== General Rules ==
'''Q:''' When a Shrouded model is Perceived, does it reveal at Declaration or only at Resolution?


'''Q:''' Can Interact be declared as a Reaction?
'''A (deokel, Mar 19, 2026):''' Perceive resolves at the Resolution Step — the Shrouded model doesn't reveal at Declaration. If the Shrouded model then declares an Attack before Resolution, it reveals itself at that point. Perceive only works within the Perceiving model's Awareness.
 
'''A (Dockel):''' Yes. Reaction only limits targeting enemies to the Activated model; otherwise you can Interact, Trade, or Perceive an Intrigue, as long as the scenario allows it.


----
----
<section end="Stealth" />


== Units & Specific Rules ==
== [[Crouched|Crouched]] ==


'''Q:''' Can a model raised by Chiyohime's Deathweaving Fan summon a tier 3+ creature even after she becomes Incapacitated or Dead?
<section begin="Crouched" />


'''A (bubalosoldier):''' The Fan grants the ability; it still functions as a conjuration spell, so all conjuration restrictions still apply — it is simply a different source of the spell.
'''Q:''' How can a model willingly enter the Crouched state other than by declaring Dodge?


----
'''A (meksmaks, Mar 07, 2026):''' A model may also enter or cancel the Crouched state at the start or end of its Movement Step during its own Activation (Rulebook 1.6, p.41).
 
=== Combat & Attacks — new entries (Feb–Jun 2026) ===
 
'''Q:''' If the successes would result in damage roll, a all new instance of missfortune triggers. Wait... Misfortune do proc on damage to ?
 
'''A (meksmaks, Feb 01, 2026):''' If you reroll a failed die into a success with another ability, then misfortune proccs and you have to reroll that success


----
----


'''Q:''' How does Sweep work on range weapons attacks? So If I hit my enemy with my range attack I only sweep the other targets next to me? Be cause my melee Reach is lower than my reach on my range weapon Kogetsu has this range weapon with Reach 4 and Sweep 2 I would assume its intention is to hit everyone within Range 4 but the rules contradict that a bit. One question: is this ability a free attack with no reaction from the opponent, or can it be responded to?
<section end="Crouched" />


'''A (meksmaks, Feb 08, 2026):''' You only confront/dodge initial attack (coming from Action/Reaction) never following additional attacks such as Finishing Strike or Chain Attack
== [[Vigilance I|Vigilance I]] ==


----
<section begin="Vigilance_I" />


'''Q:''' After confrontation because attack rolls become confrontation rolls which are only successful if they meet winning confrontation criteria Catastrophic fall of Nightshade 😅 come on - it's still nearly completely negating Dodge; winning confrontations 'just cause I said so', when defender is usually risking much more deciding to attack instead of Dodge would make me quit instantly
'''Q:''' Does Vigilance let a Sentinel use full STK on reactive ranged shots?


'''A (meksmaks, Feb 10, 2026):''' it used to be a no-brainer Combat Art but now there's good decision making involved when using Nightshade 😛
'''A (meksmaks, Mar 07, 2026):''' Yes. Vigilance grants 360° Front arc and immunity to Surprise Attack, and the model keeps its full STK on reactive shots. The best counter is to Engage it in melee first, preventing ranged attacks and limiting LoS to Awareness.


----

'''Q:''' I’m sorry for the use of Infinity terms. I’m just used to use then. So the engage is basically broken, but because of the combat distance the recovery roll can’t be done. Does this means then also, that the situation accrue, when a model with spear or lance is in potential hit range? I‘m asking because basically we played it right, except the range stack part. Just a question. Can a model change orientation at the end of a combat ? We had blue Yashka who attacked a model from behind. As he has stealth and flicker, impossible to react. So we were thinking if the model could change orientation sometimes. Okay blue can still change position with hit and retreat.
<section end="Vigilance_I" />


'''A (meksmaks, Feb 14, 2026):''' As per rules on Hits, models can change their facing at the end of activation sequence when they got hit (damaged if Constructs or Undead), same timing as Dodge move
== [[Engaged|Engaged]] ==

<section begin="Engaged" />


'''Q:''' But is a damage roll with +6 PW and Armor Piercing Next question, backstab skill: If in my active turn i run behind someone while they see me and then attack from behind their vision arc, do i get backstab? Two questions regarding incapacitated and dead: 1) In the rules it says that a model becomes incapacitated when it has 0 hp at the end of the current action phase, and a model only dies if it is dealt damage while incapacitated; if a model with 1 hp is dealt 2 damage in one action, it does therefore not die immediately, correct? 2) Quest 2, unexpected encounter, gives you points when you render the tier3 hostiles incapacitated or dead. However, both tier3 hostiles are elementals, which just disappear when they are reduced to 0 hp, not entering incapacitated or dead. What am i missing, because i am obviously missing something? Thanks in advance!
'''Q:''' Does an Unarmed attack or a Melee-type Spell (e.g. Flare) create an Engagement zone?


'''A (meksmaks, Feb 17, 2026):''' 1. Indeed, there's almost no way to get from Alive to Dead in one Activation sequence 2. It's the same, there are other Tier IIIs as well (Oni, Troll) so it's written mostly from perspective of 'alive' hostiles
'''A (meksmaks, Apr 28, 2026):''' No. You need a Melee Weapon to Engage — even a Dagger qualifies. Unarmed is a specific attack, not a Weapon. Similarly, Flare (a Melee Attack Spell) is not a Weapon and cannot create an Engagement zone.


----
----


'''Q:''' Two questions regarding incapacitated and dead: 1) In the rules it says that a model becomes incapacitated when it has 0 hp at the end of the current action phase, and a model only dies if it is dealt damage while incapacitated; if a model with 1 hp is dealt 2 damage in one action, it does therefore not die immediately, correct? 2) Quest 2, unexpected encounter, gives you points when you render the tier3 hostiles incapacitated or dead. However, both tier3 hostiles are elementals, which just disappear when they are reduced to 0 hp, not entering incapacitated or dead. What am i missing, because i am obviously missing something? Thanks in advance! Ah forgot about the troll! Is the Oni Pariah also a tier3 hostile? In the guild hall in creatures it has no tier, hence the question. So if we play with water elementals (because we have two of them and they seem to be intended) we should probably just ignore the elemental rule?
'''Q:''' Can an Incapacitated model still be Engaged?


'''A (meksmaks, Feb 17, 2026):''' Nah you don't ignore elemental rule, the player who does the final wound scores 3 VPs Marauders and Yakshas are Tier III, Pariah is Tier IV
'''A (meksmaks, Feb 14, 2026):''' Yes — an Incapacitated model can still be Engaged. It just cannot act itself. The Reroll of the Recovery Roll is prohibited if either the Incapacitated model or another allied model in Base-to-Base contact is Engaged.


----
----


'''Q:''' If model a attacks model b and model b uses ward on itself, is it a confrontation? Its odd because model b targets itself 🤔 How do void lance (Spelldanxer Voidcaster) and Sweep (e.g. from burning touch) interact? Do i draw a line between every model and the caster, potentially hitting closer models multiple times?
'''Q:''' Does holding a Ranged Weapon in hand remove your Engagement zone even if you also carry a sword?


'''A (meksmaks, Feb 22, 2026):''' One Sweep across whole 180° radius and within LoS, but you need to choose one target first
'''A (deokel, Mar 2026):''' Yes — when you declare a Ranged Attack, you're holding the Ranged Weapon and have no passive Engagement zone, even if you also own a Melee Weapon. Engagement requires a Melee Weapon to be in hand.


----
----


'''Q:''' Deugen in NW has knockdown. It says knockdown X but if I look up in the rules there is no X. And it looks like it should be knockback (X). What is the right explanation?
'''Q:''' Do two casters in Base-to-Base contact Engage each other if neither has a Melee Weapon?


'''A (meksmaks, Feb 25, 2026):''' hi, could you show where you see the knockdown rule on Seigen? in general Knockdown doesn't have levels, while Knockback does have arabic value for the number of inches (or spaces in NW) it pushes
'''A (deokel, Apr 28, 2026):''' No. Only models with a Melee Weapon equipped can Engage. Two models with only spells and accessories (no melee weapons) in Base-to-Base contact are not Engaged — unless their accessory explicitly states it can Engage (like Chanra's staff).


----
----
<section end="Engaged" />


'''Q:''' Weakened can be very powerful if used in a model's active turn. It's reactive turn will have 1 less AP and if it's a physical prowess model, it's damage output will be most likely halved
== [[Protector|Protector]] ==


'''A (meksmaks, Mar 02, 2026):''' yeah seeing an archer move from around the corner is not a reason to bonk someone next to you 😛
<section begin="Protector" />


----
'''Q:''' Can Protector void an attack by placing itself behind a wall with no LoS?


'''Q:''' Hostiles work differently to player controlled models - they react after player's action, to match it accordingly with their behavior scripts huh, ok. I'll have to look a little bit closer at the book, make sure we play this right next time. Does Additional Protection affect a model's Awareness radius?
'''A (meksmaks, May 10, 2026):''' No — Protector cannot void an attack. If the attack was viable against the initial target, treat it as viable against the Protector regardless of its position. All modifiers (Cover, RCH, etc.) are calculated from the Protector's actual position.
 
'''A (meksmaks, Mar 05, 2026):''' It affects Agility and Agility IS Awareness so yes Fun fact how it can work the other way: in Helian glyphscribe: reduce weight on Armor increases AG and so awareness too, which is great for the Hierophant Or just flat +2 AG from Evasive Tactics on Soga's Clan Champion


----

'''Q:''' Disspel magic is a healing spell. Not an attack and therefore Ward cant help. It’s either an attack or an assist, and given it’s cast on an enemy model, I’d argue it’s an attack If it was successful , will remove Ward or remove summon?
'''Q:''' Does the Protector's movement count toward triggering Engagement zones, and can it move through walls?


'''A (meksmaks, Mar 16, 2026):''' Ward should be understood as magical Dodge, if Ward is successful then all non-critical hits from an attack are ignored
'''A (meksmaks, May 10, 2026):''' Protector doesn't Declare Movement — it appears in a legal spot next to the protected model. The ½ SPD limit includes vertical distance. We intend to clarify in a future FAQ that Protector cannot teleport through walls.


----
----


'''Q:''' If it was successful , will remove Ward or remove summon? Divine healing vs profane?
'''Q:''' Does Cover benefit the Protector after it steps in front of an attack?


'''A (bubalosoldier, Mar 16, 2026):''' You declare the weapon/spell, all relevant skills (like combat arts and STK distribution in Action/Reaction step when declaring an attack. No, this wording will probably get updated to make it a bit more clear. Dodge for example does not target. And you can only Target the activated model.
'''A (meksmaks, May 10, 2026):''' Yes — all modifiers (including Cover) apply based on the Protector's actual position, to reward smart positioning.


----
----


'''Q:''' Yes, but the question was related to when you decide how many dice you roll, not when you distribute STK. I'm not for either side here, I just want to play the game correctly 😁 So if I understand correctly - for the amount of STK you assign to a model you MUST then roll that many dice in the resolution step? The note in the Strikes & Hits is a bit missleading then, incinuating that number of STK and the number of dice you decide to roll is not the same and they are not decided at the same time (if they are it should just say that you must roll the amount of dice equal to the STK assigned to a target but you can cummulatively assign less strikes than the STK value). The same goes for the example of the Activation sequence, where it says STK allows the opponent to roll X dice equal to his STK. Could he roll less if he wants? I'm asking this because if you decide how many dice you're going to roll in the resolution step there is nothing stoping you to say I roll 0 against a Redirect damage cast, since you already know your opponent is casting it (even if its not succesful yet). However if your have to say how many STK and with that how many dice you are going to roll, it makes Redirect damage an actual threat since you know dice are going to be rolled. All choices are made on the action reaction step. The resolution step just plays it out. (Unless it says otherwise like hit and retreat )
<section end="Protector" />


'''A (bubalosoldier, Mar 16, 2026):''' Nero is right, if you want to roll less dice than your STK, you must chose so in the Action/Reaction step.
== [[Dodge|Dodge]] ==


----
<section begin="Dodge" />


'''Q:''' I'm not sure of the translation, but no matter of STK, model is Attacked by model 'once', just like rolling single Dodge die is rolled for any amount of STK coming from single model then that S at the end of Wounds would suggest that at least two Wounds have to be dealt initially I thought the same, but as previously said, Wounds are applied all together, so that a Wound is applied only once as well
'''Q:''' Is the movement after a successful Dodge mandatory?


'''A (bubalosoldier, Mar 23, 2026):''' 1.6 rulebook has clearer language regarding this and says "when a model suffers at least 1 wound with this trait...", Guildhall texts in certain cases are out of date and will be updated in due course.
'''A (meksmaks, Feb 2026):''' No — Rulebook 1.6, p.57 states the model 'can' move at the end of the Resolution Step. The movement is optional.

'''Q:''' but need to use normal action mean you will lose shrounded state and AP either someone can give it to Tharos after he reveals himself, as he cannot be targetted with many Actions in this state even by his companions, or he has to declare this Action himself Question! If I am using the a spray attack, ant shoot the spray attack into a combat clipping the enemy model but completely avoiding the allied one, would I still risk hitting the ally on a 18-20?
'''Q:''' If I Dodge a Sweep attack, am I protected from the Sweep's other Hits too?


'''A (meksmaks, Mar 30, 2026):''' on the other hand if you were to target that said enemy model, you need to cover it fully under the template, and if they are in base to base contact then there is always at least 1 contact point where the template would overlap over your model so you need to target another enemy model that happens to be nearby, and cover tha another model fully in such a way that you'd only clip the enemy model from the contact situation
'''A (deokel, Feb 2026):''' Dodge is per-model. If you Dodge successfully, only your model ignores the Hit — other models in range of the Sweep are still affected if the Attack succeeds.

'''Q:''' Does Chain Attack trigger on Ranged Attacks and Spells?


'''Q:''' More of a confirmation regarding Missfortune for the Goblin Shaman/Chanra. When a friendly model has a confrontation with a Missfortuned model and rolls a higher success than the Missfortunded model, the Missfortuned model doesn't have to re-roll the their own attack/s, correct? It was fail roll to missfortuned model? Because we've been re-rolling any rolls bellow the Missfortuned model's offense and more than once it turned a failed confrontation for the Missfortuned model into a successful one either by becoming a crit or rolling into one above the friendly model rolled.
'''A (meksmaks, Jun 17, 2026):''' Yes. Spells are not a separate attack category — they are a tool that can be Melee or Ranged, just like Weapons. Chain Attack triggers on any successful Hit by another friendly model, regardless of attack type.
 
'''A (meksmaks, Mar 31, 2026):''' Succesful Attack Roll is the one that passed Confrontation already Or rather, wasn't cancelled out by opponent's rolls

'''Q:''' Is a „Death Blow“ the only way to put a model from incapacitated into the dead state? Was reading over the rules and was wondering, what would happen if a model with „cleave“ successfully wounds a 1 HP Model. I assume the extra damage from the cleave would just vanish, correct? Yes, but that would cost me a precious activation. 😄
'''Q:''' As the Reactive player, does Fencing I (−3 modifier) apply even with no Activation Tokens left?


'''A (meksmaks, Apr 01, 2026):''' at the moment there is no way to move a living model (not construct/undead/elemental) from +1HP to Dead in one activation sequence (except for a very strong roll on Ethereal Blades)
'''A (Dockel, Feb 2026):''' No — to use a Combat Art you must target an enemy model, which requires spending an Activation Token.


----
----


'''Q:''' Yes, but that would cost me a precious activation. 😄 But say I would play a Red Rasetsu and I manage to engage two models. Expend one activation to put one of them into incapacitated, then attack the other model and finish off the first one with the sweep as collateral damage, so to speak? Or I attack the first one, the second one also goes down as a result of the sweep and then use a second activation and finish both of them off with a sweep, thus only expending two activations to put two models into the dead state?

'''Q:''' I'm sure there's an activation out there where it's worth sacrificing one of the super powerful fencing effects to try and knock a model down on your turn, I just can't really think of one. Ah, so you can declare an attack while the model is still crouching although they can declare theirs once they get up, thus getting around the stk=1 thing?
'''Q:''' If Nightshade uses Mastery of Poisons then Cunning Precaution (Assassination II), does she gain Poison I or Poison II?


'''A (meksmaks, Apr 02, 2026):''' Their attack will be calculated after they stood up indeed In reaction it gets trickier, you kinda force the model to do Dodge if it's a target of another attack Which is quite strong against models which want to attack in reactions like Citadel Guard or Blue Rasetsu
'''A (meksmaks, Feb 2026):''' She gains Poison II. Mastery of Poisons upgrades any Poison I to Poison II, even if gained during that same turn.

'''Q:''' also I just realised stagger is also on hit Random Thenion example, giving someone with fencing 4 (like GS knight) commaradarie and BBE's strategem, he can knockdown his opponent and then get +6 power, cleave, and reroll for his next attack :) Add dismounting Riders to the list

'''A (meksmaks, Apr 02, 2026):''' it's useful for confronting a Flyer attacking in Melee or if you can catch a Flyer in a Sweeping attack with Knockdown yeah but you pay extra points for that and a lot of the time there's an overlap between Fencing IV and Armsmaster so you pay 3 points to upgrade for something that maybe can be done in a 'good enough' matter already if need be

'''A (meksmaks, Apr 02, 2026):''' Can be used as an Assist on allies but can be cast as an Attack on Undead
'''A (meksmaks, Feb 01, 2026):''' Misfortune rerolls every successful die once.

'''Q:''' Does the Warrior class provide any bonus on the model's own Active turn attacks?


'''A (meksmaks, Apr 02, 2026):''' Unless it cannot damage friendly model (like Blinding Light) Or Citadel Guard in general
'''A (meksmaks, May 17, 2026):''' No — Warrior has no positive effect on Active turn attacks. In Active Role, the Great Guard (for example) can have STK 2 on Polearm and STK 3 on other weapons via Second Wind (Fencing III).

'''Q:''' When casting a Targetless AoE in Reaction, does the template need to be centred on the target?


'''A (meksmaks, Apr 06, 2026):''' yeah but since then I reckon there was a ruling that if initial Attack hits with a critical hit against a succesful Dodge, the following Finishing Strike also needs to be a critical hit
'''A (meksmaks, Apr 01, 2026):''' You cannot use Targetless in Reaction. However, AoEs can still be positioned in Reaction — the template needs to fully cover the target (or as much as possible).

'''Q:''' Skill Dual-wield This model may replace a Shield with a second (Melee) Weapon, provided both Weapons have RCH 1 or less and lack the Two-Handed Trait. - May reroll one Melee Attack roll - Must choose which Weapon's PW and STK values apply during an Attack Action can i apply the effect of both waepons? Also I'd it's something like daggers you can stack the stk bonus if triggered So if you get + 1 strike From Mastercrafted Piercing Dagger you get +2 Strike
'''Q:''' Do AoE attacks apply the standard −4 Friendly Fire modifier and the 17–20 target-switch?


'''A (meksmaks, Apr 09, 2026):''' Because each weapon applies the bonus separately No, only the Effect can be used from both weapons But you can get additional +2 STK by dual wielding Daggers when you attack a Crouched target
'''A (meksmaks, Apr 02, 2026):''' AoEs are exempt from the stackable −4 modifier and the 17–20 Friendly Fire rule. However, all Hits that can deal damage (including melee Sweeps) still trigger Friendly Fire rolls. Exception: spells that cannot damage friendly models (e.g. Blinding Light) are fully exempt.


----

'''Q:''' So if you get + 1 strike From Mastercrafted Piercing Dagger you get +2 Strike So if Nightshade attacks a crouched model. They would get sta+1 for the base value of the primary weapon. Then +1 stk for the effect of the first weapon, then +1 stk for the effect of the second weapon.
'''Q:''' If a healing spell with STK 2 (e.g. A Second Chance, Hastened Recovery) targets the same model twice, does it apply the effect twice?


'''A (meksmaks, Apr 09, 2026):''' and can take +1 STK for overwhelming assault Assassination III 😄 6 dice
'''A (meksmaks, Apr 28, 2026):''' No. You cannot apply Attack Roll logic to an Assist-type spell. Splitting STK on different targets is fine, but targeting the same model twice does not double the healing.

'''A (meksmaks, Apr 24, 2026):''' It can very much be an attack of opportunity Vs attack as a confrontation

'''Q:''' Is the same spell an Attack or an Assist depending on the target?


'''A (meksmaks, Apr 24, 2026):''' You can run into melee with a shooter and confront their shooting AoO with own melee attack
'''A (deokel, Jun 2026):''' Yes — actions targeting friendly models = Assist; actions targeting enemies = Attack. The same spell can function as either depending on its target. Casting a healing spell on an enemy (if it has a harmful effect) would be an Attack.

Do you know where the deployment stuff is specified I could not find it I have more debuts...this time with flare spell (Helian Flameshaper) and about sweep keeyword.

'''Q:''' Which is the most accurate source — Guildhall or the online rulebook?


'''A (meksmaks, Apr 28, 2026):''' It's considered a Spell type, not specifically Enchantment type And Citadel Guard is immune to Sorcery and Enchantment type attacks, not Spell type attacks generally

Because someone told me the healing spell, "a second chance", can only heal 1hp and give 1ap, when both STK are aimed at one friendly model.. Unless that is not correct? It has STK2, so using the same logic 2 succesful rolls should give 2hp?
'''Q:''' Do Hostiles in Skirmish perform Recovery Rolls? Can you pick up an Intrigue while Engaged?


'''A (meksmaks, Apr 28, 2026):''' you're transferring Attack Rolls logic onto an Assist type spell

'''Q:''' During a Ceasefire scenario rule, can VP still be scored?


'''A (meksmaks, Apr 28, 2026):''' You need a Melee Weapon to engage, even if it would be only a Dagger - Unarmed is a specific attack you can perform but it's not a Weapon per se (same way Flare spell can be a Melee Attack but is not a Weapon)

'''Q:''' As i play it (i may have missundertood it) the dodge / h&r moves occurs « at the same time » than the attack but the opponent managed to hit « during » the move. If the wound(s) kill or alterate the moving model, it doesnt break the move but the reception, so he/she is incapacited at the end point of the move initiated early and fall. Only with impede, the model is pinned to the ground where it was when attacked. Correct ? So i believe that « starting » the Resolution step with all relevant movements would be a thing for simplification.
== [[Sweep I/II|Sweep I/II]] ==

'''Q:''' How exactly does Sweep resolve — does the initial target get hit first, then others?


'''Q:''' So i believe that « starting » the Resolution step with all relevant movements would be a thing for simplification. If you are on Inmobiliced State and being targeted by multiple attacks, when you declare dodge, are you able to perform each dodge roll either with AG or T? ooh, adding to that question, when doing the Dodge with T, does one still get to move? It's a little odd for me so I'm wondering how to get around it :D
'''A (deokel, Feb 2026):''' Decomposing Sweep: first you roll for an Attack, and if successful, prior to it becoming a Hit on the Target, you check the Sweep condition. All models within LoS and Melee RCH suffer a Hit simultaneously. It's a broad swing that lands before the initial Hit is even processed.
 
'''A (meksmaks, May 07, 2026):''' Immobilized adds one more Dodge roll against it, using AG/T, and is not intended to allow Dodging other incoming attacks using T, and this one is needed to succeed in order to move Hey so double checked and timing in the Mounted Rules section is off for that - the Dismounting procced by Dodge happens at the end of the Resolution Step and it's the only thing possible to do if you Dodge while Mounted - no double dipping by moving extra half speed

'''Q:''' Does Attack of opportunity require the Active model to move actually, as is stated in the rule description? Idle is still considered a movement during Movement Phase Idle is a Movement but the model doesnt move. so i m asking if the description is wrong and to move a model is the same as a model declaring a Movement or not
'''Q:''' Can Sweep apply effects like Cleave and Knockdown to all models in range?


'''A (meksmaks, May 12, 2026):''' yes while it is written here 'is moving' it's more for conceptualization purpose, for all purposes you can substitute that here with 'is in Movement step'
'''A (deokel, Feb 2026):''' Yes — Sweep is a broad attack. Effects like Cleave and Knockdown apply to all models that suffer a Wound from it, not just the original target.

'''Q:''' like, allowing to pre mesure during the opportunity attack does not invalidate the limitation on pre mesuring well impede had to be changed due to ranged attacks of opportunity Attack of opportunity can be a spell or weapon including natural weapons.

'''Q:''' then the rule book is wrong. Thanks for clarify that. So what about the note 1 ? is it also wrong or is it right? so you can pre-measure before attack of opportunity? then the note 1 is another errata? it clearly says on standard mode the reactive player can pre-measure the distance to the activated model to check if its on your RCH before declaring attack of opportunity
'''Q:''' What is the damage resolution order when Berserker, Finishing Strike, Cleave, and Burn all interact?


'''A (meksmaks, May 12, 2026):''' according to standard mode rules - within Awareness of the model after declaring Attack of Opportunity you make a proper measurement to mark the actual distance
'''A (deokel, Feb–Mar 2026):''' Resolution happens in simultaneous windows: (1) Initial Damage rolls — Berserker can negate here, which also prevents Cleave, Burn and Finishing Strike from triggering. (2) If a Wound is dealt: Finishing Strike, Cleave, and Burn all resolve simultaneously. Berserker can negate each in their own window. Once a Wound has been dealt and effects triggered, it cannot be retroactively negated.

'''Q:''' For unstoppable.. Does this mean all successful attacks land? And then wounds are rolled? -So an active model with unstoppable attacks -models that are able to react, can attack -rolls occur simultaneously, but do not cancel eachother out? correct. As long as they roll the correct number or below for offence or defense or accuracy, the attacks cannot fail as it does not go through a confrontation roll. All reacting models, are also by definition unstoppable as well and their rolls cannot be cancelled. Wounds are still rolled. 1 am i abel to kill my on team mate (whit sweep attack)? 2 if som how gets the point for that kill?
<section end="Finishing_Strike" />


'''A (meksmaks, May 14, 2026):''' 1. Yes, but you cannot target your teammates explicitly (Sweep and AoEs don't target with those additional hits thats why it's possible to kill own mods) 2.

'''Q:''' If Berserker negates the initial Wound, do Cleave, Burn, and Finishing Strike still apply?


'''A (meksmaks, May 14, 2026):''' There are weapons which cannot be used without weaving them around which is dangerous to anyone within range
'''A (deokel, Mar 2026):''' No — if Berserker negates the Wound from the initial Damage roll, Cleave, Burn and Finishing Strike never trigger because those effects are contingent on a model suffering a Wound. They exist in the next simultaneous window only if the Wound was dealt.

'''Q:''' I'm pretty sure any weapon heavy enough to be used that way can be used in overhead attacks which there is about no way to hit someone else with it I mean it's fine if it's just how the mechanics works, it's just weird, but I don't think there's any weapon that can only used that way
'''Q:''' Can Berserker negate Wounds from multiple simultaneous Damage rolls (Chain Attack, Sweep, etc.)?


'''A (meksmaks, May 14, 2026):''' If a fighter is forced to attack only from one direction due to allies constricting the range of motion that is very much telegraphing the attack Of course it is a bit simplified for the purpose of game But most of the team has actual experience using odachi and naginatas in combat arts so they probably designed it that way for a reason To be clear about targeting part: Model doesn't need to be a target to declare a Dodge Reactive models must declare Dodge before the active model decides what it does (for example an Attack) Sweep is only targeting one model so only that model can confront it and negate whole hits, all other models simply receive hits from the successful attack (even if target succeeded on Dodge)
'''A (deokel, Mar 2026):''' Yes — Berserker can negate all simultaneous Damage rolls in the same resolution window. Each Wound is rolled separately in T.

'''Q:''' it doesn't matter who you attack, each success if an aoe hit we were doing one only per attack instead of one per roll So basically you would have two separate targets. Each successful roll regardless of who was targeted would cause the hit to spread via sweep.
'''Q:''' Does Impede counter Hit and Retreat?


'''A (meksmaks, May 14, 2026):''' Every roll that is a hit will be a hit against all models within RCH and LoS
'''A (deokel, Feb 2026):''' Yes — Impede is a hard counter to Hit and Retreat. When a Hit and Retreat model tries to disengage, a model with Impede in Melee RCH can declare an Attack of Opportunity, which immediately re-Engages and stops the Moving model.

'''A (meksmaks, Jun 01, 2026):''' Watch out, Confrontation occurs only when models target each other in the same sequence Ah I just gotten down to see noticed it too
'''A (deokel, Feb 2026):''' No — a Flying model cannot be targeted by a Melee Attack. However, if the Flying model itself declares a Melee Attack, the opponent can switch their Reaction to an Attack. A Flying model within RCH of a Sweep targeting another model will still receive a Hit from that Sweep.

'''Q:''' I am curious on the wording on the attack of sprays and AOE. Do you roll once to see if the attack succeeds against the target, then all others are automatically hit? If a crit vs the initial target are all other hits also crits? Do you roll for each model hit? With targetless are you just checking to see if it's a successful attack then everyone under suffers an automatic hit? If it's a targetless aoe, are all resulting hits also crits as well? I'm assuming that we roll all strikes against all targets individually. If it's a template coming from a sorcery. What happens if the attack roll fails vs the initial target. Does the whole spell fail?
'''Q:''' Does Slowed from a Spell (like Anari's ability) last beyond the end of the turn?


'''A (meksmaks, Jun 10, 2026):''' Do you roll once to see if the attack succeeds against the target, then all others are automatically hit? -> Yes If a crit vs the initial target are all other hits also crits? -> Yes Do you roll for each model hit? -> No, you roll once for hit, but Damage is rolled separately against each model With targetless are you just checking to see if it's a successful attack then everyone under suffers an automatic hit? -> Yes If it's a targetless aoe, are all resulting hits also crits as well? -> Yes I'm assuming that we roll all strikes against all targets individually. -> No. There is always 1 target - the model you designate as the target (in terms of Targetless, it's the point on flat ground) If you have STK 2 or more, you can in active role 'split' Attacks and designate 2 or more targets tho - the templates can be placed in different spots or fully overlapping
'''A (deokel, Apr–May 2026):''' No — Slowed from Anari's spells ends at the end of the turn, similarly to Archery II's Slowed effect. This was confirmed after clarification — the duration got lost during rulebook reorganisation.

'''Q:''' Im not sure if my math is going well and finishing strike giving me headaches. Lets say i attack with GSK poleaxe, make 3 attacks, all 3 hit and wound. I deal 4 wounds becouse of cleave, then i use finishing strike and deal additional one with cleave to the total of 6 ? Am i thinking right ? With burn 1 for example it could be potential 8 ? If I break ceasefire in Awaiting Reinforcements, two questions: 1. 1.1 targeting with an attack: -4 1.2 causing wound: -4 Do I get -8 when I attack and cause wound? Do I get -12 if I cause 3 wounds with 1 attack? 1.3 so if I put Poison II on enemy, this is -4 and -4? 2. Can I score over 10 points to fight back the penalty for breaking ceasefire? So max 3 pts times 4 scoring rounds and 3 for a Scheme, minus say 8 for 2 attacks in r1 means 7 total?
<section end="Flying" />


'''A (meksmaks, Jun 15, 2026):''' 1. It's either Targeting OR causing a wound - fulfilling both conditions is the same as just one 1.3 Poison, Agony and other effects (like Environments) like this are interesting cause technically it's the State/Effect/Enchantment that deals the wound and not the model itself. But usually to apply the Poison you need to wound model which will always yield -4p 2, There's no cap on how many points you can score. The cap is on how many points you can have at most, which is 10. So you can in some cases recover from breaking Ceasefire a bit

'''Q:''' Ah ok, quick reading strikes again. Dies this mean I cannot cast assist enchantments/heals either that aren't melee, right? Oh, I thought only spells with Strike higher than one could distribute attack on active, but any model on active can? So an archer with a strike of 2 can shoot and gove 1 die to 2 objectives as well?
'''Q:''' How does Ice Shield interact with Burn — does the −3 PW reduction apply to Burn rolls too?


'''A (meksmaks, Jun 22, 2026):''' Pg. 27 "In the Active Role, when performing an Attack, if the Active model has a Strike value greater than 1, it may Attack a number of different targets up to its Strike value. "
'''A (deokel, Mar 2026):''' Yes — Ice Shield's −3 PW reduction applies to Burn damage rolls as well. The second damage roll still has −3 to PW.

'''Q:''' Can Berserker negate Wounds from Burn rolls?


'''A (meksmaks, Jun 22, 2026):''' It's also possible to split dice for an Assist Action, for example casting Protective Barrier on 2 models with 1 die each by Hierophant "If an assisting model would have Strike 1, it may only target one model. If it’s Strike is greater than 1, it may target a number of models up to its Strike value."
'''A (deokel, Mar 2026):''' Yes — Burn damage rolls happen in the same simultaneous window as Finishing Strike and Cleave (after the initial Wound). Berserker can roll T for each of these Wounds separately.

'''Q:''' normally you apply this on your enemy during your active (meaning their reactive turn) either via stratagem or during your tactical phase by beeing cast upon them. they then have it for the rest of their reactive turn and their whole active turn. Until your casters next strategic phase Last but not least could there be a confrontation roll against enchantment, targeting enemy unit? As it can't be dodged yes, confronting caster of Enchantment is only way aside Ward and surprisingly Redirect Damage to actively prevent success of Enchantment

Strategic phase(any) is it correct, that at ANY strategic phase you need T roll? 2. If you fail T, is it intended, that enchantment continues? 3. Spell doesn't have continuous, is it correct, that at next strategic phase of encanter, this encant will end independently of result of T roll?
 
'''A (meksmaks, Mar 29, 2026):''' 1. Yes, active or reactive. Will check with if roll can be made more than once - this would be important in multiplayer games or when Hostiles are on table 2. Why wouldn't it continue? 3. Yes normal Enchantment timing applies (strategic phase of Caster)

'''Q:''' If you are on Inmobiliced State and being targeted by multiple attacks, when you declare dodge, are you able to perform each dodge roll either with AG or T? ooh, adding to that question, when doing the Dodge with T, does one still get to move? It's a little odd for me so I'm wondering how to get around it :D so lets see I attack an inmobiliced model with 2 different models, the enemy declares dodge, then he has to perform a normal AG roll for each attack and then an additional AG/T roll for the inmobiliced, and if pass it he does the dodge move right?
 
'''A (meksmaks, May 07, 2026):''' yes Dodge roll vs model A (on AG) Dodge roll vs model B (on AG) Dodge roll vs Immoblized state (on AG or T) -> only if this passed the model loses Immobilized state and can move half speed

'''A (meksmaks, May 07, 2026):''' an Immobilised model cannot perform any Normal or Special Movement nor Special Action (since they cannot perform Idle) But you can declare Dodge and in Resolution step you will roll normal dodge rolls against all attacks as usual (on AG), and an additional Dodge roll on AG or T against Immobilised state itself and only if that additional Dodge roll succeeds you lose the status and can perform the movement

'''Q:''' Hi there, new player here and a little confused regarding defensive stance. It says that the strike value is 1 when you shift in defensive stance. But i dont see the gain of it. When my Bushi has Stk 2 why should i voluntarelly switch it to only 1? to retain the STK 2 on Reactive rol ahhh, now i get it, it gets reduced in active roll, but keeps the default in reactive. sorry
 
'''A (meksmaks, May 10, 2026):''' Yeah effectively you use default 1 in Active role and whatever is written under STK on the profile in Reactive role Thus Bushi becomes really punishing on reactions against squishy models I always put models like Onitaoshi and Musha Bowmaster into defensive stance - if I'm using their main weapon there is no drawback, and if I need to use side weapon in reaction (Short Sword, Sword) I'll have higher STK

'''Q:''' I guess the intent was for the troll to ignore only the negative effects of the aquatics, but it would be great to get a confirmation for that one)) i don't get how LoS and engagement work in context of backstabing. let say there is model with backstab and stealth(so we don't worry about awareness). backstab work if you not in LoS of model. if you in 0" with the enemy model you both engaged. and engagement status give auto LoS. so how can i use backstab in melee if going 0" make this skill untrigerable? what i am missing?
 
'''A (bubalosoldier, May 27, 2026):''' Engaged State is not applied immediately when two models move into Melee range, but only if they end the Activation Sequence in Melee range of each other. So fo the first Activation sequence you would not be Engaged yet, thus giving you the Backstab bonus

'''Q:''' Do ranged spell attacks get affected by modifiers like the -3 from forest terrain? Would the Int roll to cast the spell successfully be made at -3 ? Ah under "Ranged Attack" it says spell 🙂 What about expeditionary hierophant, or models with clairvoyance? It says it ignores LoS restrictions, but what about modifiers?
 
'''A (meksmaks, Jun 13, 2026):''' If model doesn't require drawing LoS then there's no LoS line going through the terrain for cover for example On the other hand the things that affect targeting inside an Environment still apply, e.g. when model is in Forest then Smite targeting it is on -3 INT
 
----
 
'''Q:''' I have another question as well! Does rolling a crit on a dodge save all attacks, or just that one? Another question about LoS: for the purposes of reactions, if a model has stealth, and are within LoS at the beginning of a move but wind up outside of LoS at the end of the move and attack, does the attack get benefit of not allowing the target a react?

----
 
'''Q:''' My understanding is any part of the hitbox to any other part of the hitbox. They don’t need to be the closest points necessarily. It can be helpful to think about replacing the models with silhouettes. If any part of the cylindrical silhouette can be attached to any part of the target’s cylindrical silhouette by an unobstructed line, there is line of sight. worth to note - tangent line that is shared by models in b2b will make it both affected when placing AoE template, yet if 3 models are in perfect line on a flat surface and you could draw tangent lines, models on the far sides won't see each other Because if every part of model is hidden by Los possible - it should not be visible at all instead of having a hard cover
 
'''A (meksmaks, Jun 24, 2026):''' you only need to make 1 line to be considered as having LoS
 
----
 
'''Q:''' Line of Sight is crucial a term defining an imaginary straight line connecting the Hitboxes of two models. It defines whether a model can see the other model. To check it, simply draw an imaginary straight line from one model’s edge of the Hitbox to the edge of another model’s Hitbox. There is a non-zero amount of the model that is hidden behind that object yup, thx. I just got lost by Line of Sight definition of having line from 1 model to another :p
 
'''A (meksmaks, Jun 24, 2026):''' If any player can draw a line between** happy face** and** sad face** that will pass through Very Big Obstruction (which is both wider and taller than** sad face**) and **sad face** is within 1" from that Very Big Obstruction, **Sad Face** has Heavy Cover toward that attack

----
 
'''Q:''' Question about Ward. How does it work? I expect it to be an enchantment, but it's a sorcery and it sounds like it makes a model immune to non crits for the whole round which sounds obscene. So I can only conclude I'm not reading it right From the Taskmage Explorer list You cast it on your model as an Assist, usually as a Reaction - works very similarly to 'Dodge for someone'
 
'''A (meksmaks, Jun 24, 2026):''' almost correct, just you make an INT roll with caster for every *Attack with a* Hit vs the Target for the Activation Sequence
 
----
 
'''Q:''' You cast it on your model as an Assist, usually as a Reaction - works very similarly to 'Dodge for someone' So it's an instant block? Oh ok, that makes more sense. Wait, you have to roll per hit? I thought it was one roll negates all hits like dodge.
 
'''A (meksmaks, Jun 24, 2026):''' sry, should've been more clear - every Attack with at least one succesful Hit so if there are multiple Attacks (usually when Taskmage is active and targeted reactively by more than one model) there will be multiple Int rolls

'''Q:''' Hi all, can someone explain how Mana generation works, as well as upkeep on a conjured creature please? My understanding is the Mage needs to forfeit activations to generate mana, then use that mana for the ritual. Assuming I summon a tier 2, then every turn I need to pay 2 mana for upkeep. Is that correct? That means to summon and upkeep a T2, id need to forfeit my first turn with the model to generate 2 mana, forfeit his 2nd turn to generate mana, cast on turn 3 and upkeep turn 4? Oh I see, so upkeep just refers to the STA limit. And changing activations into mana is the only way to generate mana, correct? Do I activate and change that token into mana, leaving me another activation? Or does the other activation token get changed to mana?
 
'''A (meksmaks, Feb 21, 2026):''' You convert unused Activation points during Active role, without activating per se

'''Q:''' Ok, but if you place btb to Chiyohime, you will break a condition btb with dead model🤷‍♂️ Yes - you just use 2 Dead tokens as it overrides the rule for BtB for lower tier, by creating separate for higher tier would you mind adding this onto your clarification list? Riftspawn summoning is added by Chiyohime's Fan being interpreted as additional line below already existing in Raise the Undead Spell or is it just swapping the costs, leaving BtB to Dead token? If later, should it be specified with requiring only single of Dead models to be BtB?
 
'''A (bubalosoldier, Mar 10, 2026):''' Fan is the one that gives you the ability, it is not adding to Raise the Undead. So to summon with Fan you need to spend mana, remove dead models and place in base contact with Chyio
 
----
 
'''Q:''' would you mind adding this onto your clarification list? Riftspawn summoning is added by Chiyohime's Fan being interpreted as additional line below already existing in Raise the Undead Spell or is it just swapping the costs, leaving BtB to Dead token? If later, should it be specified with requiring only single of Dead models to be BtB? So no conjuration spell? Aka no summon limit applies? And if it is not conjuration spell, after Chyio falls to incapacitated or dead, summon tier3+ doesn't removed
 
'''A (bubalosoldier, Mar 10, 2026):''' It still functions a conjuration spell, so all restrictions still applied. It is just a different source of the spell then her spell art. That is becouse the fan uses the word Summon, which carries all the summoning restrictions*

'''Q:''' In treasure hunt, if a model comes in contact with a cache who still has the intrigue token on it, does it trigger the sigil? I see, thanks. Is there any advantage in revealing the intrigue token through the perceive roll? Since to pick up the cache you have to come in contact with it anyway
 
'''A (meksmaks, Mar 15, 2026):''' It's easier to plan once you know the spell trap on the sigil
 
----
 
'''Q:''' The Resolution step mentions all effects during the whole activation sequence. I guess the "activated model suffers any relevant effects" parts is confusing me it means what it actually does - if something were to happen with Activation trigger, it is being resolved immediately during Activation declaration How is it with life gained from spell life leech ? Do i get to keep it pernamently or does it dissapear with strategic phase like enchantments ?
 
'''A (meksmaks, Mar 17, 2026):''' I believe these should stay, the Enchantment timeframe is for gaining new HPs here. pls doublecheck me 😛
 
----
 
'''Q:''' Greetings, question about deep freeze spell. 1. Strategic phase(any) is it correct, that at ANY strategic phase you need T roll? 2. If you fail T, is it intended, that enchantment continues? 3. Spell doesn't have continuous, is it correct, that at next strategic phase of encanter, this encant will end independently of result of T roll? Well, than T roll at caster's strategic phase is useless 😅
 
'''A (meksmaks, Mar 29, 2026):''' Imagine situation in a stroke of madness we add an upgrade that gives all model's Enchantments 'Continuous' trait We would have to rewrite Deep Freeze then
 
----
 
'''Q:''' no element just Spell. Resistance (Spell) will work I understand this about spell type, All wounds are applied together and as long as there is at least one wound caused by burn in the pool and the model is put into the dead state. The model is removed.

'''Q:''' in what case does Purgation have burn though?
 
'''A (meksmaks, Apr 23, 2026):''' when caster is enchanted with Burning or Melting Touch all their attacks have Burn (1) quality
 
----
 
'''Q:''' you can enchant with burn Because I'd argue if the spell itself has burn on it, then burn would happen with some power. Otherwise I'm with meksmaks here otherwise your blind would burn too, right? that don't seem right to me either
 
'''A (meksmaks, Apr 23, 2026):''' vs Undead you can have PW on Healing Spells it's funny how Hierophant can easily win against Ghosts and Skeletons in Melee using Curative Touch 😛
 
----
 
'''Q:''' The condition "If the target model was Incapacitated" is true for both rolls If the condition were to be "If the target model ceases to be Incapacitated", then there would be no doubt. even if both rolls succeed?
 
'''A (meksmaks, Apr 24, 2026):''' Gimme a sec I need to double check now, been working through a bunch of versions of this spell I was under impression that the final version is that the target model can benefit from the effects of this spell only once, no matter if there was 1 or 2 successes, but I can't find my convo with
 
----
 
'''Q:''' Since burn is a trait applied by an enemy model. That model would still be effected by aquatic. I guess the intent was for the troll to ignore only the negative effects of the aquatics, but it would be great to get a confirmation for that one))
 
'''A (bubalosoldier, May 27, 2026):''' Rules as written, survival ignores all effects of that type of Environment. So in the current rules the troll in water would indeed burn regularly. However, this has been added to my list and will be addressed in the next Errata/FAQ. Until then, wet frogs burn as well as dry frogs I guess 😄
 
----
 
'''Q:''' Northern Wind provides both the Oni starter, an exclusive Oni leader, and 6 undead models. You have most of the Oni faction including many of its strongest models.
 
'''A (meksmaks, Jun 07, 2026):''' Not really, you wouldn't have much to summon then for Chiyo
 
----
 
'''Q:''' True, she just needs to be closest to the enemy. Thanks for the heads up about the rebalance!
 
'''A (meksmaks, Jun 12, 2026):''' she's a 28p, STA 2, HP 2 and ARM 3 model, the risk of being sniped is real there Sure you can put Ice Shield on her, but then you need to cast Burning Touch manually wasting 1 activation out of her 2 oh this reminds me, , for Active Support on Anari the Enchantment needs to be the same on both models?
 
----
 
'''Q:''' True, she just needs to be closest to the enemy. Thanks for the heads up about the rebalance!
 
'''A (bubalosoldier, Jun 12, 2026):''' Same on both as indicated by ONE of the Enchantment spells...
 
----
 
'''Q:''' May I suggest a different wording? "Choose one of the Enchantment Spells available to the Leader. Up to two models may be enchanted." Do ranged spell attacks get affected by modifiers like the -3 from forest terrain? Would the Int roll to cast the spell successfully be made at -3 ? Ah under "Ranged Attack" it says spell 🙂
 
'''A (meksmaks, Jun 13, 2026):''' Yes an Attack can be either Melee or Ranged no matter the medium
 
----
 
'''Q:''' So he can see me, I can't see him and he's outside my awareness, I can't dodge right? Terrifying prospect. Another rules question after another game. The Hieromancy barrier spell blocks one hit and it says I can pick which hit. Can I use it to block a crit or is there something about crit dice making them unstoppable by something like this as well? OK, good to know, I got hit during a dodge but was unsure of the barrier would work on the crit hit or not
 
'''A (meksmaks, Jun 22, 2026):''' If rule doesn't say it negates only non-critical hits (as Ward or Dodge do), then it's any hit Can happen in quite a few ways in this game - utilizing positioning, terrain and special rules is part of many strategies
 
----
 
=== Movement & Deployment — new entries (Feb–Jun 2026) ===
 
'''Q:''' In a third case - I moved Before attack. As my ordinary move. But got striked by Guard. I used to declare Dodge, as was hit by two models from outside my reach. Got critted twice. Ouch So first I have to make it stand up, then regeneration kicks in then ? as long as the model stands up during the same Strategic phase during which Regeneration will run out, yes
 
'''A (meksmaks, Feb 08, 2026):''' Yeah the Enchantment itself doesn't heal the model, it just grants the Skill and that Skill is still subject to normal conditions
 
----
 
'''Q:''' And if they declared attack as well, they will get hit and my model can be also potentially hit, right? Yes, those attacks would go without confrontations When a model get on incapacitated stage in cc. Is then the close combat ended? So can the incap model do the roll for stand up or not? And can another model shoot on the survivor without generating a moral test for the incap Model?
 
'''A (meksmaks, Feb 14, 2026):''' There is no such thing as close combat But there is no Engaged status either way and no Friendly fire If that makes it any clearer 🙂 And you can always attempt Recovery Roll, but reroll is contingent on both of your B2B models not being within Engagement range
 
----
 
'''Q:''' the model composition is open information and after deployment the info which upgrades goes to which unit is also open information
 
'''A (meksmaks, Feb 20, 2026):''' No worries! It makes the whole ordeal quite exciting when someone plays something completely off the regular faction meta, say Guildsworn Knight in Thenion 😄
 
----
 
'''Q:''' Interesting, thanks! Just to make sure, while engaged you effectively have los independent of the front arc? How does protective barrier interact with ricochet; if a model targeted by a ricochet attack has protective barrier, does it prevent ricochet? Similarly if a model with protective barrier (P) is between two other models A and B, if a ricochet 2 attack hits A, jumps to P, and then to B, is the ricochet stopped at P because the hit is negated or is only P unaffected but B still gets hit?
 
'''A (meksmaks, Feb 23, 2026):''' thus if there's only one hit, and since Ricochet requires the Hit to actually reach the target, there's no further ricocheting there will be 2 hits ricocheting to P, one ignored by Protective Barrier, so 1 hit ricochets further to B

'''Q:''' May I choose SK and let dragonslayer use Flying Carpet to dash?
 
'''A (meksmaks, Feb 25, 2026):''' Mind you we will implement few changes to Flying soon hehe
 
----
 
'''Q:''' Can I crouch as part of hit and run or the ranger movement then if it's not in the movement step?
 
'''A (meksmaks, Mar 07, 2026):''' These are not during the Movement Step, they're Movements but in different timing spaces
 
----
 
'''Q:''' Can I crouch as part of hit and run or the ranger movement then if it's not in the movement step? So yes I can crouch/uncrouch?
 
'''A (meksmaks, Mar 07, 2026):''' You can only crouch/uncrouch specifically in Movement Step
 
----
 
'''Q:''' As you declare Throwing with a weapon, you are using as many up to your Qty - if you use 2 daggers, both are used, so both are removed; Would make sense if both were aimed at same guy, ones that hit and took part in incapacitation/killing can be removed - if spread, one did Wound but not incapacitated/killed, it would not be recovered with the other logic and wargames don't always apply. Thats why we clarify. Hello, I have a question regarding special moves that happen in between rounds, such as Ranger class ability and Expeditionary Tactics: Surge Order item. Can models perform the movement if they are engaged?
 
'''A (meksmaks, Mar 17, 2026):''' Unless specified otherwise normal restrictions apply
 
----
 
'''Q:''' so it would be Chanra are engaged You choose idle for movement action and attack for normal action at last use Hit & Retreat to cancel Engaged? You cancel it with idle. But yes! Also you need to move away to not be engaged at the very end. Now I have a question about hit and retreat write During its Movement step, this model may cancel the Engaged state without any roll required . but in Engaged state our movement are only idle and walk. And we know walk need to toward enemy who was engaged. so this any roll required mean what action?
 
'''A (meksmaks, Mar 27, 2026):''' No action, at the moment it's just to make clear you don't need to roll
 
----
 
'''Q:''' I'm wanting to build an indoor map with dungeon walls Got a screenshot? Hmm I'm thinking more like a door, can be opened/closed at start or end of movement phase or with interact action. Costs an extra inch of movement for each size over medium but can be moved through normally. Closed doors block line of sight. Models in b2b with an open door may treat their melee reach as originating through the door.
 
'''A (meksmaks, Mar 31, 2026):''' yeah well you can but it's a real PIA to measure LoS via doors and god forbid windows 😄
 
----
 
'''Q:''' move outside of LoS and crouch it is I guess 😄 I think maybe I don't bring this combo and save it for the person that introduced me to hierophant + expatriate with crossbow and armour impede on range is a bit silly from time to time yea 😄
 
'''A (meksmaks, Apr 02, 2026):''' From Oni perspective some of the solutions include: Vengeful Spirit being Incorporeal with Infiltration I can approach quite easily and engage Great Guard with walk + dodge to avoid reactive attack Forgotten Heroes can effectively engage in ranged duels Blue Yaksha (especially with a crossbow of her own) can shoot and flicker still with hit and retreat Mind Invasion
 
----
 
'''Q:''' I think maybe I don't bring this combo and save it for the person that introduced me to hierophant + expatriate with crossbow and armour impede on range is a bit silly from time to time yea 😄 has this been clarified ? impede cant stop flicker?!
 
'''A (meksmaks, Apr 02, 2026):''' I won't say ranged Great Guard is bad, it's certainly very strong piece, but frankly a lot of things are at that point cost, especially if we also include the price of involving Scholar if Impede model has LoS at the start of the Movement phase then yes, Attack of Opportunity can be declared before the movement starts
 
----
 
'''Q:''' so Incorporeal are immun to the movement ending part of impede? hm. so ending your movement is not a movement penality ^^
 
'''A (meksmaks, Apr 02, 2026):''' Movement penalties are things like Aquatic or Difficult environment 😛
 
----
 
'''Q:''' *cough thrown weapons cough*
 
'''A (meksmaks, Apr 02, 2026):''' I mean throwing works more up to logics than ranged consumables
 
----
 
'''Q:''' but reach is in the middle, so it's 1 I could have sworn the guildknight had a reach 2 weapon About Mounts and Dodge! "If a mounted model declares a Dodge, it may not move during the Resolution Step except to dismount. If it dismounts, replace the model with its dismounted version—no additional movement is made." Can a mounted model still benefit from dodge, other than the movement? As in if it succeeds on the AG, then the triggering attack is nullified?
 
'''A (meksmaks, Apr 14, 2026):''' Why wouldn't it ? The rules are clear here, it just doesn't move from Dodge
 
----

'''A (meksmaks, Apr 14, 2026):''' Dodge section (Pg. 57 rulebook 1.6) states model CAN move at the end of the resolution step
 
----
 
'''Q:''' Otherwise they will be engaged and thats it. I dont see why they can get into melee range after impede declaration To my understanding impede triggers on declaration why do you think otherwise? Well that's another tick vs my poor short reach Thenians.
 
'''A (meksmaks, Apr 24, 2026):''' Both AoO ranged Vs active ranged attack, AoO ranged Vs active melee attack, AoO melee Vs active melee
 
----
 
'''Q:''' Not on dash or run Swift retreat?
 
'''A (meksmaks, Apr 24, 2026):''' Swashbuckler can run double and walk extra for a total of 30" inches
 
----
 
'''Q:''' Swift retreat?
 
'''A (meksmaks, Apr 24, 2026):''' That's like two full circles 2.01" outside Great Guard reach If you want to dance around her And Impede cannot stop Swift Retreat or Ranger movements because it's out of Tactical phase and cannot be reacted to
 
----
 
'''Q:''' Impede causes engaged though
 
'''A (meksmaks, Apr 24, 2026):''' Why do you feel compulsion to walk straight into melee of the great guard tho
 
----
 
'''Q:''' Impede causes engaged though
 
'''A (meksmaks, Apr 24, 2026):''' Alternatively, use Hit and Retreat and laugh Engagement in face
 
----
 
'''Q:''' Ranger says that in the End Phase of Active Role you can perform a normal movement. It does not say that it cancels Engaged, so you can only walk towards enemy engaging you(of your choice if multiple enemies engage you). Dash rule states an **unmodified** STK 1 Melee Attack Sorry.. you can move through engagements with the ranger move. You're right, if you're engaged at the start of the activation, you can only walk towards the model you're engaged with
 
'''A (meksmaks, May 07, 2026):''' technically you don't move through engagements, you move through Melee Weapons RCH Engaged is a State that is result of ending any Phase or Resolution Step within enemy model's Melee Weapon RCH
 
----
 
'''Q:''' Dash rule states an **unmodified** STK 1 Melee Attack Sorry.. you can move through engagements with the ranger move. You're right, if you're engaged at the start of the activation, you can only walk towards the model you're engaged with So still, only towards engaging model. To be precise - performing walk/ranger walk through engaging model’s RCH, moving closer to it, you should not be allowed to disengage other models that engage you, right?
 
'''A (meksmaks, May 07, 2026):''' You're allowed to move toward one of the engaging models even if it would mean that you leave other models' Melee RCH
 
----
 
'''Q:''' Idle is a Movement but the model doesnt move. so i m asking if the description is wrong and to move a model is the same as a model declaring a Movement or not Same feeling - it's more of a description of a situation, rather than a condition, it being 'before it's Movement ends'
 
'''A (meksmaks, May 12, 2026):''' this is an editing issue, apologies for that! That marked sentence here is redundant, as for all purposes simultaneous effects and abilities are resolved in order chosen by Active Player now
 
----
 
'''Q:''' Same feeling - it's more of a description of a situation, rather than a condition, it being 'before it's Movement ends'
 
'''A (meksmaks, May 12, 2026):''' so the order goes: 1. Activation Step 2. Movement Step a) Declare Movement (e.g. Crouched model can only declare Idle or Walk) b) Window for Attacks for Opportunity opens c) Active Model performs Movement d) Movement ends 3. Reaction Step
 
----
 
'''Q:''' it clearly says on standard mode the reactive player can pre-measure the distance to the activated model to check if its on your RCH before declaring attack of opportunity If a model disengages by dodging but doesn't move out of the engaging model's reach, does it re-engage in the same activation?
 
'''A (meksmaks, May 12, 2026):''' It never stops being Engaged unless it moves out of Melee weapon's RCH
 
----
 
'''Q:''' can Flying model RUN? 👀 I mean - being in a Flying state Yes, flying is an applicable skill that the run special movement does not restrict
 
'''A (meksmaks, Jun 09, 2026):''' To be absolutely exact, Flight is the skill that allows entering Flying state 🙂 But indeed a model that is in Flying or Shrouded state can perform Special Movements no probs
 
----
 
'''Q:''' Thank you and ! I think I understand #2.. since he has Leap natively, he van always Leap as part of his movement.. so then if he takes the "Run" special movement, he can also Leap during that move.. yes? No, Run is only for double Walk with additional benefit of jumping over 1/2 size obstacles on the way, Jump is a jump, normally it's a Special Movement, taking whole activation, but with Leap, it allows you to perform Normal Action afterwards - but range is still the same Ahh I see! Got it. It's too bad, cause my friends oni had the opportunity to jump a 5 inch gap between terrain, because he used run, and it was awesome haha. I'd like to see Leap allowing a jump during "run". It was really cool
 
'''A (meksmaks, Jun 21, 2026):''' Considering normal Jump is a special movement for 1/2 SPD, leap gives a significant upgrade already - not sure I'd love to see an Oni running 5" and Jumping 5" and still be able to perform an attack with Dash
 
----
 
'''Q:''' OK, good to know, I got hit during a dodge but was unsure of the barrier would work on the crit hit or not Maybe I allucinated this, but can an engaged model do rabged attacks? My assumption is no but reading the state it diesb't have anything stopping ranged attacks Also, if a model is engaged and it moves, it has to be directly towards the engaging model, does this mean straight line center to center? And if my model is for example reach 0, we are in a corner of terrain, would the reach 0 model be unable to engage?
 
'''A (meksmaks, Jun 22, 2026):''' "While Engaged, a model may declare only Melee Attack, Assist (targeting itself) or Dodge." https://drive.google.com/file/d/10JiD71DXir0mAcczTF5av_Pg73SttF98/view?usp=drivesdk This sheet might help you streamline the game process a bit 🙂 Yes, we'll be clarifying Directly Toward soon, it is meant as the shortest path to B2B contact between the two models After errata it will be possible to do the 'directly toward ' move including bends and curves too (you can play as per this intent already too, as long as you clarify it with other player[s] before the game)

=== States & Recovery — new entries (Feb–Jun 2026) ===
 
'''Q:''' When a model get on incapacitated stage in cc. Is then the close combat ended? So can the incap model do the roll for stand up or not? And can another model shoot on the survivor without generating a moral test for the incap Model? I’m sorry for the use of Infinity terms. I’m just used to use then. So the engage is basically broken, but because of the combat distance the recovery roll can’t be done. Does this means then also, that the situation accrue, when a model with spear or lance is in potential hit range? I‘m asking because basically we played it right, except the range stack part.
 
'''A (meksmaks, Feb 14, 2026):''' No worries, I just try to correct them so other readers don't get confused 😛 Looking at it with fresher eyes it seems that the incapacitated model can be still engaged - it just never occured to me because it cannot do anything anyways itself Recovery roll itself can be done always. What you might be prohibited to do is perform the Reroll (when either Incapacitated or other allied model in base to base position is Engaged)
 
----
 
'''Q:''' Can you clarify this 2 questions please? So if I understand inventory. On each action or reaction, the model can pick any legal load out in its inventory as part of the a/r and it stays that way until chosen again. It doesn't take its own action right? Thanks. What about poison2, now there is no permanent weakened state, only poisoned?
 
'''A (meksmaks, Mar 01, 2026):''' I'll clarify with Bubalo if that was the intent (I'm not at laptop this weekend)
 
----
 
'''Q:''' movements in the Resolution Phase does not provoke AoO It seems, that poison1 is extremely useless now. Because weakened state will never trigger -1 stamina... Hmmm, no, if only in your reactive role, player makes a wound for opponent...
 
'''A (meksmaks, Mar 02, 2026):''' ~~the difference is that will be same for Poison II, only Poisoned effect is applied indefinitely~~ This has been reverted as of 1.6 final version (edit on May 4th 2026)
 
----
 
'''Q:''' But same question for a model who is in the dead state. Can an ally use the first aid kit? Pretty sure no, the ally would have to get into base contact with the dead model, and then interact (trade) to take the first aid kit, then use it? When model is Incapacitated and carries First Aid Kit, then it can be used only when targeting themselves - what's important, if you were to decide to roll and fail, you cannot declare usage of First Aid Kit Or at least that's how it used to be till recent rulebook update, might have gotten lost
 
'''A (meksmaks, Mar 29, 2026):''' Ahh it seems we missed the wording 'An Incapacitated model may use this item on itself' from previous ed. Lemme check with next week
 
----
 
'''Q:''' Flying vizier is about to get shot by an enemy model, golem with a protector can come to BTB with a vizeir even if the model is flying? or can a flying model come btb to a friendly model and remove "agony" from the sky?
 
'''A (meksmaks, Mar 31, 2026):''' yes, Flying does not limit Protector it can I know some things might seem 'illogical' with regards to flying from common sense point of view, but flying in general is a terribly difficult ability in wargaming to balance around and not make it too strong/uninteractive, our flying has just received a considerable nerf in that flying model is always visible, we'll monitor how the skill is performing
 
----
 
'''Q:''' or as long as it covers the whole target iz good? Is a „Death Blow“ the only way to put a model from incapacitated into the dead state? Was reading over the rules and was wondering, what would happen if a model with „cleave“ successfully wounds a 1 HP Model. I assume the extra damage from the cleave would just vanish, correct?
 
'''A (meksmaks, Apr 01, 2026):''' Welp, you can simply attack an incapacitated model or it can be caught by any other damage like from AoE, Poisoned state, Bleeding etc.
 
----
 
'''Q:''' Does Guildsworn knight's Unconventional tactics strategem cancel negative states/enchantments that were added by enemy strategems? For example, does it cancel the enchantment caused by Chanra's Hexcaller, or confused state caused by Blue Rasetsu's Mind Invasion?
 
'''A (meksmaks, Apr 01, 2026):''' Cause if we go that rabbit hole it could be argued also for cancellint Poisoned status applied via Mastery of Poisons stratagem Simply speaking States and Enchantments applied from Stratagem are considered separated from their source
 
----
 
'''Q:''' Note that the definition of Poisoned is different in NW (I believe you’re asking for). In NW definition, Poisoned models test on every strategic phases, not only during theirs Yeah, wasn't sure as I knew there has been FAQs and a redone spellbound since NW Can Advantage(X) be used in the reactive role?
 
'''A (meksmaks, Apr 26, 2026):''' Welcome! As of 1.6 edition monstrous factions (Oni and Undead) have received 2 special scheme cards, at the bottom of the pdf: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sArYJbxiVc0t9z8OvyDsTM45-atJa3qU/view We'll be releasing a 'how to' article for their usage soon, for now you can just roll a D20 and on a roll of 15+ reroll until you get a number between 1-14 or just print the cards 11-20 and 51-54 and draw from that little deck as far as I remember the NW version was designed to be more impactful but lemme confirm with the team

'''Q:''' BubaloSoldier (dev) answered that question in the chat before (2024): crouched sentinel gets 2 STK, not 1 https://discord.com/channels/815986288992976946/816273401940279367/1489242156593057933 More recently we were discussing the stk cap on crouch and if it is affected by sentinel.
 
'''A (meksmaks, May 06, 2026):''' In 1.6 ruleset hard caps on STK like Crouched, Dash or Flying are supposed to be unmodifiable
 
----
 
'''Q:''' I forgive me, You forgive you. Both happy! <:heart:1125435771327885423> Great Guard after using Warrior and fencing can have 2 stk or its always bound to 1 What happens to a dead model when it regains 1 HP? is it brought to alive again or incapacitated?
 
'''A (meksmaks, May 17, 2026):''' It can only regain 1HP and remove dead state if the ability explicitly states so Otherwise it can't regain HP and it wouldn't do anything either to the Dead state
 
----
 
'''Q:''' The summoned creature granted by summoner at the beginning of the game must start within awareness of the summoner. If you deploy in alternating order, when is this model placed? it has to be summoned in the Awareness, but also inside your deployment zone - you should place it right after the summoner Not sure if this has been answered before but do dead or incapacitated summons still count towards the summoned limit?
 
'''A (meksmaks, May 22, 2026):''' fantastic question! Yes, they are indeed still summons as long as their bodies remain on table (Undead and others differ in that manner from Constructs and Elementals)
 
----
 
'''Q:''' You can use Oni that are in NW as a playable faction I thought so, but I still need the second faction, and I understand that neither Northern Wind Heroes, nor the undead are valid. Or am I talking BS? Yeah, undead are minions from what I've understood and the heroes are each from different faction
 
'''A (meksmaks, Jun 07, 2026):''' You can either buy any skirmish starter/reinforcement box, as they go well with NW heroes, or if you want additional NW content as well get yourself a box of Goblins, they open up a side quest line, Chanra is also an alternative hero, and they are fully playable in Skirmish too

'''A (meksmaks, Jun 07, 2026):''' I'd prolly recommend something like Blue Vs Red Blue takes undead, Red takes marauders
 
----
 
'''Q:''' How do you do it with dices? For goblins, for example if there are no cards printed? you can roll a d20 and then just count down in the pdf 😉 Is there a reason, why arms master MAY gain +1 STK, but druid just gains +4 to cast?:) What is the reason behind May?:)
 
'''A (meksmaks, Jun 23, 2026):''' sometimes you may not want to use the additional STK , if you don't want to incapacitate the enemy model for example (most games end at the start of the turn of player whose all models are either incapacitated or dead)

=== Skills & Classes — new entries (Feb–Jun 2026) ===
 
'''Q:''' I don't understand pouches it adds +1 upgrade... but takes away an upgrade, so what do you benefit? maybe I just don't carry heavy enough things for it to matter?
 
'''A (meksmaks, Feb 02, 2026):''' You can always buy 1 upgrade even with pouch, so the point is to use it when character cannot pick things due to being at or close to Inventory capacity (Goblin warchief, Citadel Guard etc)
 
----
 
'''Q:''' doesn't armsmaster just add 1 stk I'm under the impression that armsmaster stacks with fencing III is that wrong?
 
'''A (meksmaks, Apr 02, 2026):''' overlap = most models which have Fencing IV have Armsmaster already (Clan Champion, Guildsworn Knight) so if you upgrade to Fencing V by Bujutsu (it's the only way) you only get the benefit of Fencing V since Armsmaster class is already present it does stack yes But I highly recommend trying out Musha Blademaster with both Bujutsu and Yari It's an expensive package but he can punch up like a charm
 
----
 
'''Q:''' its one enchantment on up to 2 models, not the same one enchantment on up to 2 models. I have a question regarding the new strategem upgrades - If they're worn by a model that's has an affiliation but is also a neutral model, does the strategem apply to both neutral models AND the models in their faction? For example in this case, if Taskmage explorer wears "Expedition leader" upgrade and gives all models +1 SPD, will both Onitaoshi and Expeditioner get the speed boost?
 
'''A (meksmaks, May 09, 2026):''' Lemme double check that next week with , I wasn't 100% sure back then and I'm even less sure now that I read it Both Neutrals and Faction models have same affiliation as semi-Neutral model
 
----
 
'''Q:''' No, because you could do a different combat art It is not added on. Upgrades from the classes are not added either. I was meaning like soldiers bonus and archery 1 buffing weapon ranges.
 
'''A (meksmaks, May 31, 2026):''' Soldier bonus is dynamic, depending on the amount of models in Awareness So there's no practical way to put it into static model stat line on Guildhall
 
----
 
'''Q:''' So it allow him to be 1 dice during reaction and 1 dice during his turn instead of 1 dice during reaction and 1 dice during his turn ? Yes thats correct. I feel like for some models some classes its just flavor. But his Sentinel gives him +1 STK in Reaction. If you trade items with him you can use his warrior ... but yea its not that big of an advantage on him. Soga does have upgrades only Warriors can take. So some models get a benefit there. But Kogetsu cant recieve upgrades either 😅 warrior is important because its required to get some of the upgrades for Soga
 
'''A (meksmaks, Jun 20, 2026):''' Kogetsu is a character and cannot buy them, can only be given those
 
----
 
'''Q:''' Ok, then how this line is drawn? By who in this case, would big sad face have a cover? (sorry it should be both wider, higher than the model on the image) 🙂
 
'''A (meksmaks, Jun 24, 2026):''' models bigger than Large can't get cover at all but apart from that

=== Combat Arts — new entries (Feb–Jun 2026) ===
 
'''Q:''' Deugen in NW has knockdown. It says knockdown X but if I look up in the rules there is no X. And it looks like it should be knockback (X). What is the right explanation?
 
'''A (meksmaks, Feb 25, 2026):''' yeah the description should be for Knockdown (it's for Fencing IV combat art), nasty goblins sabotaged the card 😛 he doesn't have knockback by default, only via weapons/spells/using Weak Points
 
----
 
=== Units & Specific Rules — new entries (Feb–Jun 2026) ===
 
'''Q:''' How do you do it with dices? For goblins, for example if there are no cards printed? you can roll a d20 and then just count down in the pdf 😉
 
'''A (meksmaks, Jun 23, 2026):''' for now just roll d20 and reroll on 15+ until you can result(s) of 14 and less
 
----
 
=== General Rules — new entries (Feb–Jun 2026) ===
 
'''Q:''' Actually a clarifying question, you say you don’t know at roster creation but you do after they put it on the table. So does that mean once they put the shrouded/concealed model on the table, its stats are public? Even if I don’t know which shrouded token is a specific model, I would know all the models on the other team?
 
'''A (meksmaks, Feb 20, 2026):''' So as long as the model is Shrouded the opponent won't know what that is and what it has
 
----
 
'''Q:''' I see, thanks. Is there any advantage in revealing the intrigue token through the perceive roll? Since to pick up the cache you have to come in contact with it anyway Hello guys, quick question, where am I suppose to place the dead token of Chiyohime ? 14 inch away from her ?
 
'''A (meksmaks, Mar 15, 2026):''' So she doesn't have it in her Awareness at the start of the game
 
----
 
'''Q:''' Because It was logical when there was no recovery check. Now you can potentialy rise up your models at strategic phase... thanks. And what about meaning "come to base contact"? This one 🙂 we need some clarification of term "come to base contact" (for quest Treasure hunt, spell Agony, etc.) How this term "works". Does the effect from come to btb triggers, if we start an activation already at btb?
 
'''A (bubalosoldier, Apr 17, 2026):''' Yes, if you start the activation in contact it counts for effects like "come to base contact"
 
----
 
'''Q:''' for abilities cast in the strategic phase such as enhancements, do those use an activation point? And also, can activation points carry over through the next turn before the upkeep phase?
 
'''A (meksmaks, Jun 13, 2026):''' Strategic phase - Stratagems and other effects related to this phase, expiration of Enchantments Upkeep phase - ALL models receive Activation Points Tactical Phase - models activate (and reactive models react) End Phase - models lose all remainig activation points So just by knowing how the Turn plays out we see that: Models don't have any Activation points during strategic phase -> so no one spends any And that there's no carryover of APs
 
----
 
'''Q:''' I mean sure, I didn't mean anything by it beside the fact that celt models would be super cool with your sculpting. Like druids do not seem to fit at all into any of your existing faction, so if we think of a faction with druids, we can go historical or fantasy, and with fantasy we can really go anywhere, so I just considered the historical one first
 
'''A (meksmaks, Jun 23, 2026):''' Don't worry, I know you didn't ask for Celts, it's just that we as Freecompany want to be transparent about our capacities and vision for the future. We certainly wouldn't want someone to be disappointed thinking we promised Celts just because there's a Druid class in the rulebook

Answers from Discord — community rules clarifications from the official Eldfall Chronicles Discord. Answers by meksmaks (Community Manager / Rules Expert) and bubalosoldier (Frostpeak Publishing), Feb–Jun 2026.

These are community clarifications, not official errata. Always check the latest rulebook first.

Line of Sight

[edit | edit source]


Q: How many lines do you need to draw to establish Line of Sight?

A (meksmaks, Jun 24, 2026): You only need to draw 1 line to be considered as having LoS. The player commanding the attacking model chooses which line to draw. If you can also draw a line that passes through terrain/obstruction, apply its Cover effect accordingly.

Q: Can a model use another model (friend or foe) as Cover?

A (meksmaks, Jun 24, 2026): Models can block off LoS to one another, but they do not provide Cover per se. The Cover section begins with 'a piece of scenery' — Cover requires terrain, not models.

Q: If a model's Hitbox is only partially visible, does it have Cover?

A (meksmaks, Jun 24, 2026): If any player can draw a line between attacker and target that passes through terrain (wider and taller than the target) and the target is within 1" of that terrain, the target has Heavy Cover.

Q: Which models cannot benefit from Cover at all?

A (meksmaks, Jun 24, 2026): Models larger than Size: Large cannot get Cover.

Q: Does Cover apply if some LoS lines are clear and others pass through terrain?

A (deokel, Jun 24, 2026): You only need one unobstructed line to establish LoS. But if any player can simultaneously draw a line through terrain, Cover applies — even if another line is unobstructed. The attacking player chooses the LoS line; Cover is assessed separately from any line that passes through relevant terrain.


Cover

[edit | edit source]


Q: Do Cover and Haze Bombs stack?

A (meksmaks, May 17, 2026): Yes — Cover and Haze Bombs stack.

Q: If the Protector steps in front of an attack, do Cover modifiers use the Protector's position or the original target's?

A (deokel, May 10, 2026): All modifiers — including Cover — apply based on the Protector's actual position. Smart positioning of the Protector is rewarded by the rules.


Haze Bombs

[edit | edit source]


Q: Do the modifiers from Haze and Cover stack with each other?

A (meksmaks, May 17, 2026): Yes, they stack.

Q: Can Haze Bombs be used in Reaction to target friendly models?

A (meksmaks, Mar 15, 2026): Yes — in Reaction it becomes an Assist. You can target your own models within range, but they must end up fully under the template.

Q: Does placing a Haze Bomb template require a successful ACC roll?

A (meksmaks, Mar 15, 2026): Yes. In the Active Role it is a Targetless action, but it is still an Attack/Assist requiring an ACC roll (plus any Reroll).


Modifiers

[edit | edit source]


Q: What does 'unmodified STK 1' mean — can it be boosted by other effects?

A (meksmaks, May 06–17, 2026): To perform an unmodified STK 1 means you cannot modify the STK value at all. In the 1.6 ruleset, hard caps on STK — such as those from Crouched, Dash, or Flying — are intended to be unmodifiable.


Stealth

[edit | edit source]


Q: Can you use Attack of Opportunity against a Stealth model that begins its activation outside your LoS?

A (meksmaks, Feb 02, 2026): You need LoS to target — Stealth I voids even Clairvoyance. With no LoS, no Reaction is possible. If you gain LoS during movement: Dodge is always possible; Attack of Opportunity requires both LoS and RCH met simultaneously during the Movement Step; a normal reactive Attack requires LoS to declare and RCH + LoS met during Resolution.

Q: Does a Shrouded model immediately reveal when it declares an Attack?

A (meksmaks / Dockel, Mar 19, 2026): Yes — when a Shrouded model declares an Attack, it reveals itself instantly. Exception: if the target has Vigilance, the Vigilant model can still declare a Reaction.

Q: Does Perceive only work within Awareness range?

A (meksmaks, Mar 19, 2026): Yes — Perceive only works within the model's Awareness.

Q: When a Shrouded model is Perceived, does it reveal at Declaration or only at Resolution?

A (deokel, Mar 19, 2026): Perceive resolves at the Resolution Step — the Shrouded model doesn't reveal at Declaration. If the Shrouded model then declares an Attack before Resolution, it reveals itself at that point. Perceive only works within the Perceiving model's Awareness.


Crouched

[edit | edit source]


Q: How can a model willingly enter the Crouched state other than by declaring Dodge?

A (meksmaks, Mar 07, 2026): A model may also enter or cancel the Crouched state at the start or end of its Movement Step during its own Activation (Rulebook 1.6, p.41).


Vigilance I

[edit | edit source]


Q: Does Vigilance let a Sentinel use full STK on reactive ranged shots?

A (meksmaks, Mar 07, 2026): Yes. Vigilance grants 360° Front arc and immunity to Surprise Attack, and the model keeps its full STK on reactive shots. The best counter is to Engage it in melee first, preventing ranged attacks and limiting LoS to Awareness.


Engaged

[edit | edit source]


Q: Does an Unarmed attack or a Melee-type Spell (e.g. Flare) create an Engagement zone?

A (meksmaks, Apr 28, 2026): No. You need a Melee Weapon to Engage — even a Dagger qualifies. Unarmed is a specific attack, not a Weapon. Similarly, Flare (a Melee Attack Spell) is not a Weapon and cannot create an Engagement zone.

Q: Can an Incapacitated model still be Engaged?

A (meksmaks, Feb 14, 2026): Yes — an Incapacitated model can still be Engaged. It just cannot act itself. The Reroll of the Recovery Roll is prohibited if either the Incapacitated model or another allied model in Base-to-Base contact is Engaged.

Q: Does holding a Ranged Weapon in hand remove your Engagement zone even if you also carry a sword?

A (deokel, Mar 2026): Yes — when you declare a Ranged Attack, you're holding the Ranged Weapon and have no passive Engagement zone, even if you also own a Melee Weapon. Engagement requires a Melee Weapon to be in hand.

Q: Do two casters in Base-to-Base contact Engage each other if neither has a Melee Weapon?

A (deokel, Apr 28, 2026): No. Only models with a Melee Weapon equipped can Engage. Two models with only spells and accessories (no melee weapons) in Base-to-Base contact are not Engaged — unless their accessory explicitly states it can Engage (like Chanra's staff).


Protector

[edit | edit source]


Q: Can Protector void an attack by placing itself behind a wall with no LoS?

A (meksmaks, May 10, 2026): No — Protector cannot void an attack. If the attack was viable against the initial target, treat it as viable against the Protector regardless of its position. All modifiers (Cover, RCH, etc.) are calculated from the Protector's actual position.

Q: Does the Protector's movement count toward triggering Engagement zones, and can it move through walls?

A (meksmaks, May 10, 2026): Protector doesn't Declare Movement — it appears in a legal spot next to the protected model. The ½ SPD limit includes vertical distance. We intend to clarify in a future FAQ that Protector cannot teleport through walls.

Q: Does Cover benefit the Protector after it steps in front of an attack?

A (meksmaks, May 10, 2026): Yes — all modifiers (including Cover) apply based on the Protector's actual position, to reward smart positioning.


Dodge

[edit | edit source]


Q: Is the movement after a successful Dodge mandatory?

A (meksmaks, Feb 2026): No — Rulebook 1.6, p.57 states the model 'can' move at the end of the Resolution Step. The movement is optional.

Q: If I Dodge a Sweep attack, am I protected from the Sweep's other Hits too?

A (deokel, Feb 2026): Dodge is per-model. If you Dodge successfully, only your model ignores the Hit — other models in range of the Sweep are still affected if the Attack succeeds.


Chain Attack

[edit | edit source]


Q: Does Chain Attack trigger on Ranged Attacks and Spells?

A (meksmaks, Jun 17, 2026): Yes. Spells are not a separate attack category — they are a tool that can be Melee or Ranged, just like Weapons. Chain Attack triggers on any successful Hit by another friendly model, regardless of attack type.


Fencing

[edit | edit source]


Q: As the Reactive player, does Fencing I (−3 modifier) apply even with no Activation Tokens left?

A (Dockel, Feb 2026): No — to use a Combat Art you must target an enemy model, which requires spending an Activation Token.


Assassination

[edit | edit source]


Q: If Nightshade uses Mastery of Poisons then Cunning Precaution (Assassination II), does she gain Poison I or Poison II?

A (meksmaks, Feb 2026): She gains Poison II. Mastery of Poisons upgrades any Poison I to Poison II, even if gained during that same turn.


Chiyohime

[edit | edit source]


Q: Does Chiyohime's Profane Mend stratagem revive a Dead model?

A (meksmaks, May 17, 2026): Yes — this case slipped through the rules. The FAQ will clarify that Profane Mend also cancels the Dead state when it grants 1 HP.


Misfortune

[edit | edit source]


Q: How does Misfortune work — once per die or once per roll? What if a failed die is rerolled into a success?

A (meksmaks, Feb 01, 2026): Misfortune rerolls every successful die once. If you reroll a failed die into a success with another ability, Misfortune still procs and you must reroll that newly-successful die. You may only reroll once per die due to Misfortune, but there is no cap on total dice rerolled.


Warrior

[edit | edit source]


Q: Does the Warrior class provide any bonus on the model's own Active turn attacks?

A (meksmaks, May 17, 2026): No — Warrior has no positive effect on Active turn attacks. In Active Role, the Great Guard (for example) can have STK 2 on Polearm and STK 3 on other weapons via Second Wind (Fencing III).


Spells

[edit | edit source]


Q: When placing an AoE template, what happens if you cannot fully cover the main target?

A (meksmaks, Mar 30, 2026): You cannot perform the attack — analogous to a target being out of RCH. The template must fully cover the main target.

Q: When casting a Targetless AoE in Reaction, does the template need to be centred on the target?

A (meksmaks, Apr 01, 2026): You cannot use Targetless in Reaction. However, AoEs can still be positioned in Reaction — the template needs to fully cover the target (or as much as possible).

Q: Do AoE attacks apply the standard −4 Friendly Fire modifier and the 17–20 target-switch?

A (meksmaks, Apr 02, 2026): AoEs are exempt from the stackable −4 modifier and the 17–20 Friendly Fire rule. However, all Hits that can deal damage (including melee Sweeps) still trigger Friendly Fire rolls. Exception: spells that cannot damage friendly models (e.g. Blinding Light) are fully exempt.

Q: If a healing spell with STK 2 (e.g. A Second Chance, Hastened Recovery) targets the same model twice, does it apply the effect twice?

A (meksmaks, Apr 28, 2026): No. You cannot apply Attack Roll logic to an Assist-type spell. Splitting STK on different targets is fine, but targeting the same model twice does not double the healing.

Q: Does Chain Attack trigger on Spells?

A (meksmaks, Jun 17, 2026): Yes — Spells are not a separate category. They are a tool that can be Melee or Ranged, just like Weapons. Chain Attack triggers on any successful Hit by another friendly model.

Q: Can a Protector on elevated terrain intercept an attack on an ally at a different height?

A (meksmaks, Jun 17, 2026): Yes — Protector requires being within ½ SPD, including vertically. Otherwise it functions as normal.

Q: Is the same spell an Attack or an Assist depending on the target?

A (deokel, Jun 2026): Yes — actions targeting friendly models = Assist; actions targeting enemies = Attack. The same spell can function as either depending on its target. Casting a healing spell on an enemy (if it has a harmful effect) would be an Attack.


Blinding Light

[edit | edit source]


Q: With Blinding Light (STK 2 Targetless), can you place two templates in two different spots?

A (meksmaks, Feb 25, 2026): Yes — STK 2 in the Active Phase means you can place two separate templates in completely different spots.


General Rules

[edit | edit source]


Q: Does the Quest end immediately if all of a player's models are Incapacitated at the start of their turn?

A (bubalosoldier, Apr 17, 2026): Yes — this rule is still valid as written. It is under review, but remains in place until the next rules update.

Q: Does starting your activation already in Base-to-Base contact count as 'coming to base contact'?

A (bubalosoldier, Apr 17, 2026): Yes — starting your activation already in contact counts for effects that trigger on 'come to base contact' (e.g. Agony, Treasure Hunt).

Q: Which is the most accurate source — Guildhall or the online rulebook?

A (meksmaks, Apr 24, 2026): Guildhall is still undergoing updates. The 1.6 online rulebook is the best source of knowledge until Guildhall is fully updated.

Q: Do Hostiles in Skirmish perform Recovery Rolls? Can you pick up an Intrigue while Engaged?

A (meksmaks, May 08, 2026): 1. Hostiles follow the same rules as player models — unless the scenario forbids it, they can attempt Recovery Rolls. 2. If it is not forbidden, it is allowed.

Q: During a Ceasefire scenario rule, can VP still be scored?

A (deokel, Mar 2026): During Ceasefire you cannot score any VP — actions that would normally score VP are wasted during this phase.


Sweep I/II

[edit | edit source]


Q: How exactly does Sweep resolve — does the initial target get hit first, then others?

A (deokel, Feb 2026): Decomposing Sweep: first you roll for an Attack, and if successful, prior to it becoming a Hit on the Target, you check the Sweep condition. All models within LoS and Melee RCH suffer a Hit simultaneously. It's a broad swing that lands before the initial Hit is even processed.

Q: Can Sweep apply effects like Cleave and Knockdown to all models in range?

A (deokel, Feb 2026): Yes — Sweep is a broad attack. Effects like Cleave and Knockdown apply to all models that suffer a Wound from it, not just the original target.


Finishing Strike

[edit | edit source]


Q: What is the damage resolution order when Berserker, Finishing Strike, Cleave, and Burn all interact?

A (deokel, Feb–Mar 2026): Resolution happens in simultaneous windows: (1) Initial Damage rolls — Berserker can negate here, which also prevents Cleave, Burn and Finishing Strike from triggering. (2) If a Wound is dealt: Finishing Strike, Cleave, and Burn all resolve simultaneously. Berserker can negate each in their own window. Once a Wound has been dealt and effects triggered, it cannot be retroactively negated.


Berserker

[edit | edit source]


Q: If Berserker negates the initial Wound, do Cleave, Burn, and Finishing Strike still apply?

A (deokel, Mar 2026): No — if Berserker negates the Wound from the initial Damage roll, Cleave, Burn and Finishing Strike never trigger because those effects are contingent on a model suffering a Wound. They exist in the next simultaneous window only if the Wound was dealt.

Q: Can Berserker negate Wounds from multiple simultaneous Damage rolls (Chain Attack, Sweep, etc.)?

A (deokel, Mar 2026): Yes — Berserker can negate all simultaneous Damage rolls in the same resolution window. Each Wound is rolled separately in T.


Impede

[edit | edit source]


Q: Does Impede counter Hit and Retreat?

A (deokel, Feb 2026): Yes — Impede is a hard counter to Hit and Retreat. When a Hit and Retreat model tries to disengage, a model with Impede in Melee RCH can declare an Attack of Opportunity, which immediately re-Engages and stops the Moving model.


Flying

[edit | edit source]


Q: Can a Flying model be targeted by a Melee Attack?

A (deokel, Feb 2026): No — a Flying model cannot be targeted by a Melee Attack. However, if the Flying model itself declares a Melee Attack, the opponent can switch their Reaction to an Attack. A Flying model within RCH of a Sweep targeting another model will still receive a Hit from that Sweep.

Q: Does Slowed from a Spell (like Anari's ability) last beyond the end of the turn?

A (deokel, Apr–May 2026): No — Slowed from Anari's spells ends at the end of the turn, similarly to Archery II's Slowed effect. This was confirmed after clarification — the duration got lost during rulebook reorganisation.


Burn (X)

[edit | edit source]


Q: How does Ice Shield interact with Burn — does the −3 PW reduction apply to Burn rolls too?

A (deokel, Mar 2026): Yes — Ice Shield's −3 PW reduction applies to Burn damage rolls as well. The second damage roll still has −3 to PW.

Q: Can Berserker negate Wounds from Burn rolls?

A (deokel, Mar 2026): Yes — Burn damage rolls happen in the same simultaneous window as Finishing Strike and Cleave (after the initial Wound). Berserker can roll T for each of these Wounds separately.
