Q: If I draw Martyred or Strong Start during a round, after the condition to score them has been met, can I score them?

A: No. You must have these cards in your hand at the time the condition is met to score them. Note that the conditions on Martyred and Strong Start can be met in each round, so if you keep the card in your hand after drawing it you may have the opportunity to score it in later rounds.

Q: If both an enemy fighter and a friendly fighter are taken out of action at the same time (e.g. by Shardgale), and those are the first fighters taken out of action in a round, can either player score Martyred and/or Strong Start?

A: No. There is no single first fighter taken out of action in that example.

Q: Hidden Paths says that the fighter is considered to have made a Move action. Does this count towards triggering cards like Quick Thinker, Kunnin’ But Brutal, and March of the Dead?

A: The fighter gains a Move token but Hidden Paths is not a Move action (or, indeed, an action of any kind). This means that Quick Thinker and Kunnin’ But Brutal cannot be triggered by Hidden Paths (because there was no action to make the reaction to), and you cannot score Cover Ground from Hidden Paths (because it isn’t a Move action). However, as the fighter is considered to have made a Move action in that round, that fighter does count for March of the Dead when you check that in the end phase.

Q: If my fighter hasn’t made a Move action but has one or more Move tokens (e.g. if they were chosen by Transfixing Stare), can I still use Hidden Paths on them?

A: Yes.

Q: Can my opponent drive my fighter back with an Attack action before I make the reaction on My Turn?

A: Yes. The reaction on My Turn happens after an Attack action, and if a fighter is driven back as part of an Attack action this happens during that Attack action.

Q: Can the damage my fighter suffers from using Daemonic Weapon trigger My Turn, and if so in what order is it resolved?

A: Yes. You would play My Turn after resolving the Daemonic Weapon Attack action.

Q: Can the damage my fighter suffers from Shattering Terrain while making a Charge action trigger My Turn, and if so how is the this resolved?

A: Yes. You would play My Turn after the Move action taken as part of the Charge action (this is when Shattering Terrain damages the fighter), resolve My Turn and then (assuming you still could) resolve the Attack action taken as part of the Charge action.

Q: Can the damage that a wizard suffers when there are two or more symbols in their casting roll trigger the reaction on My Turn?

A: If the spell they were attempting to cast was a spell Attack action, then yes. My Turn would be resolved after the spell is cast or after the spell fails.

Q: I play My Turn, and push my fighter one hex, preparing to take an Attack action as granted by the card. My opponent plays Mirror Move – does the push granted by Mirror Move occur before or after the attack from My Turn?

A: Before – it is a reaction to the push, and the push is completed before the Attack action.

Q: Can Ready for Action be used to perform a spell Attack action?

A: Yes

Q: When does the fighter suffer damage as a result of Shattering Terrain – before or after they are moved? If the damage would take a fighter out of action, in which hex would that happen, the starting or ending hex?

A: After they are moved – if the damage would take them out of action, this happens in the ending hex.

Q: If a fighter from Ironskull’s Boyz who is not Inspired makes a Charge action after Shattering Terrain has been played, do they suffer damage (and therefore become Inspired) after finishing the whole Charge action, or after the Move action and before the Attack action?

A: They are damaged (and therefore Inspired) after their Move action and before their Attack action.

Q: Who gains a glory point if a fighter is taken out of action as a result of Shattering Terrain?

A: In a two-player game, when a player’s fighter is taken out of action their opponent gains a glory point. In a three- or four-player game, if you play Shattering Terrain and the damage it deals takes an enemy fighter out of action, you gain a glory point; if it takes one of your own fighters out of action, no one gains a glory point.

Q: How much damage does a fighter driven back by an Attack action with Knockback suffer from Shattering Terrain, if it is in effect?

A: 1 damage.

Q: If a fighter both moves and is pushed while Shattering Terrain is in effect, how much damage do they suffer, and when?

A: They suffer 1 damage after the first move or push. They do not suffer any damage for subsequent moves or pushes in the same activation.

Q: What happens if Shattering Terrain is in play and a fighter is driven back into a lethal hex, and then I play Trap and Pit Trap?

A: The fighter is dealt any damage by the Attack action first, then 1 damage by the lethal hex, then 1 damage by Shattering Terrain, then you can play Trap to deal 1 damage to that fighter, and after the Attack action is resolved you can play Pit Trap to deal 1 damage to that fighter

Q: Can Spectral Wings add 2 to a fighter’s Move action made as part of a Charge action?

Q: Which reactions can be played in the same reaction window as Twist the Knife (thereby preventing the attacking player playing Twist the Knife)?

A: Rebound, No Retreat and the reaction on Unflinching Guardian (this is a complete list for cards published up to June 2019).

Q: Can I play My Turn or Ready for Action as a reaction after my Ghoulish Pact resolves?

A: Yes. You can play either of these reactions (but not both).

Q: Can I play Ghoulish Pact if I don’t have any upgrades in my hand?

A: No.

Q: Can a fighter with this upgrade make a normal Move action?

A: No.

Q: When a fighter with this upgrade makes a Charge action how does it work?

A: The fighter does not move normally. Instead, you place them on any objective token. Note that you must still follow the other rules for making a Charge action, so there must be an enemy fighter within range and line of sight of one or more of the moving fighter’s Attack actions at the end of its move.

Q: Can a fighter with a Move characteristic of 0 still use Faneway Crystal to Move to an objective token?

A: Yes (with the exception of fighters that cannot make Move actions, like the Stalagsquig).

Q: If I use my Potion of Rage during an Attack action that targets all adjacent fighters, does the +2 Dice apply to each of those Attack actions, or just one of those Attack actions?

A: Just one – the one in which you take the reaction.
