Rules Q&A

• Q: If Togashi Shao uses his ability on a personality with Yamigatai, does Shao get the bonus until end of turn, or only during the Combat Segment?
  A: End of turn. "Equal bonus" just means value, not duration.
  Now, to clarify, Shao gets nothing from taking the action initially (if the only bonus the target has would be from Yamigatai's trait), because it's Open and the armor only gives its bonus during the Combat Segment. But the delayed effect of giving Shao an equal bonus kicks in when the target gets a "new" bonus from Yamigatai when the Combat Segment starts.
  Also, fun fact, since every instance of the armor turning on and off again is a new bonus, so with each new Combat Segment in a single turn, Shao would get a new, additional +2F that lasts until the end of that turn. C-c-c-combo! 🙂 Brook Cunningham, "Sun and Moon #rules-questions", 14 Oct 2024
• Q: question for stating things does [Yamigatai] , adds its trait +2f in the engage segment?
  and additional one: do personalities are opposed in engage segments (if there are presence of at last one personality from each player) ?
  A: 1. No; Engage is also different than Combat 2. Yes; "opposed" is a state Personalities are in the entirety of the time they are at a battlefield with enemies in the other army. Brook Cunningham, "Sun and Moon #rules-questions", 2 Jun 2024
• Q: currently not in Onyx, I assume a card like "Creating Order" would since I'm assuming "current and new" means any at the moment and any that can be applied in the future, but CO is not Onyx legal checking with both "new" and "current" with Onyx legality in the two card word search bars (since the keyword search bar also searches in card text instead of just the keywords) results in 3 cards that don't influence force, and "future" results in 2 cards, 1 of which only influences force penalties "Breaking the Rythm" would remove the bonus from Yamigatai, but not from Usagi Seki (technically only the bonus he gets while "Breaking the Rythm" is played is negated, the next action will have it come back)
  A: Also, Creating Order only negates bonuses from actions, not traits, so that wouldn't affect the Usagi either. Brook Cunningham, "Onyx Lives #rules-questions", 3 Dec 2023
