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.
