Q: What are the actions I must take to score this objective?

A: At least four different actions from this list:

• Move (other than as part of a Charge)
• Attack (other than as part of a Charge)
• Charge
• Guard
• Another action on a fighter card (other than a reaction)

Note that ‘another action on a fighter card’ is counted as a single type of action, so even if you have more than one other action on a fighter card available to you, only one will be counted.

Q: Do actions taken outside of activations (e.g. an Attack action with My Turn) count as actions for the purpose of scoring Keep Them Guessing?

A: Yes (although note the FAQ directly below).

Q: If I put a fighter on Guard without activating them (e.g. by using Inspired Command or Brightshield’s Block upgrade) does that count as making a Guard action for the purpose of scoring Keep Them Guessing?

A: No. When you put a fighter on Guard without activating them, you simply give them a Guard token. This is not an action.

Q: Do actions on upgrades count as an action on a fighter card for the purpose of scoring Keep Them Guessing?

A: No.

Q: If my fighter moves with Faneway Crystal or Inescapable Vengeance, does that count as a Move action (or Charge action, if they are making a Charge action) for the purpose of scoring Keep Them Guessing?

A: Yes.

Q: If I use Hidden Paths, does that count as a Move action for the purposes of scoring Keep Them Guessing?

A: Yes.

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: If a fighter is taken out of action by Trap, does that happen before or after they are driven back?

A: After.

Q: When a fighter is driven back into a lethal hex, do they suffer the damage from the lethal hex before I can play Trap?

A: Yes.

Q: If a fighter is driven back by an Attack action that was not successful, and then Trap is played to deal damage to that fighter, is the Attack action considered to be successful?

A: No. The damage is dealt by the ploy, not the Attack action.

Q: I make an Attack action with my fighter, and after the dice are rolled it is determined that the Attack action is successful and will cause damage. My opponent plays Rebound as a reaction, but fails the roll so nothing happens. We continue to resolve the Attack action: my fighter deals the damage, and I choose to drive the target fighter back. Can I now play the Trap reaction?

A: Yes. The trigger for Trap is after the fighter is driven back, which is a different trigger to when the Attack action is determined to be successful or not.

Q: Can Trap and Pit Trap be triggered by the same Attack action?

A: Yes. Trap is a reaction that happens during an Attack action, and Pit Trap is a reaction that happens after an Attack 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)?

Q: When I play Quick Advance, do I have to be able to choose two friendly fighters other than my leader, and do I have to push them if I play the card?

A: You do not have to be able to choose two friendly fighters other than your leader to play the card – you can play this card even if the only friendly fighter on the battlefield is your leader. When you play the card, you can choose to push the chosen fighters 0 hexes.

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).
