Rules Q&A

• Q: Kuon attacks alone, Phoenix player with City of Tears defends.
  As first action, the defender attachs Consumed by Five Fires, reacts with Heavenly Yari of the Phoenix targeting Kuon, which doesnt happen because of Kuon's trait, and then goes to take the aditional battle action to use Consumed by Five Fires to destroy Kuon.
  Is this play legal?
  A: Yes, this play is legal.
  Additional Action: "When an action or triggered trait grants an additional action, the timing of the additional action is delayed, such that the action is taken once the action or trait that granted it has ended, and the opportunity to play Reactions to the end of the action or trait has passed. This makes sure that Battle actions can not occur within other Battle actions, and so on."
  Thus, after the Equip action resolves, both the triggered trait of the Stronghold and the Reaction of the Yari are taken and resolve their effects, and then the additional action granted by the former is taken. Brook Cunningham, "Hida Kuon xp6 VS Heavenly Yari of the Phoenix", 11 Dec 2010
