Targeted Strike



ASK FANTASY FLIGHT

Q: Can you explain how targeted strike works?

A: Targeted Strike is a card effect, but it only affects the card that has the keyword, by altering the way that the unit with targeted strike can resolve its combat icons. When resolving those combat icons, they are still treated as a game effect, and resolve as per a normal strike, now with an expanded "scope" as to what they can hit. The description for targeted strike *does* include the word 'target' to ensure that there *is* something to affect with the combat icons. You are not allowed to targeted strike nothing just to avoid using your unit combat icons within an engagement.

For example, if for some reason you wanted to avoid killing a particular enemy unit that was opposing you; there would need to be a unit not participating in the engagement for you to target with targeted strike if you wanted to avoid damaging that opposing unit.
