Rules Q&A
- Q: Interrupt Action:
Ex: Susumu Yanada is at home during this battle. Daigotsu Roburo Fear its target personality, as a interrupt Yanada Bows and make that fear action destroy the personality that Roburo has just bow!
Looking at the rules:
Rule of Presence: To legally take an action during battle, a player must control one or more units at the current battlefield. Daigostu is in combat. So Interrupts on personalities can be used from home?
Thanks again
A: A card in a unit needs to be at a battlefield in order to use its Interrupt on an action during that battle. This differs from the way Reactions worked. Jon Palmer, "interrupt", 4 Jul 2014 - Q: I have an army of personalities swinging in to try and take a province. Two of those personalities are Susumu Yanada. My opponent defends with a personality with an Ominous armor attached. If I make a fear attack sufficient to bow his personality, can I interrupt with both Yanada's to destroy the personality that Ominous is attached to?
A: In this case each Yanada adds its own "destroy any card it bows" to the original Fear effect. Ominous Armor will take care of one Yanada's modification, but the second will still kill the Personality.
The Fear effect essentially reads "Target an enemy Follower or Personality without Followers and bow it if its Force is equal to or lower than X. Destroy any card it bows. Destroy any card it bows." Jon Palmer, "2 Susumu Yanada's VS Ominous Armor", 10 Jun 2014
