Rules Q&A
- Q: Both Swan Technique and Strength Remains stipulate in their effects that the enemy personality "must focus ... at least once, if able."
If both effects are in play, must the enemy personality focus at least once, or at least twice?
A: If you focus once, you satisfy the condition set by both cards. Jon Palmer, "Swan Technique + Strength Remains", 6 Sep 2014
