Rules Q&A

• Q: Ikoma Korin: -If I use Korin's battle action and, while I'm targeting one of my opponent's cards, he uses Outer Wall, can I just combine my other ranged 2 attack (from the same battle action) to destroy his card?
  A: [MARTY] No. You have to decide how big the Ranged Attack is and what is combined into it on Announcement, before you even pick a target. Outer Walls is played later, and by then it is too late to combine in more Ranged Attacks. You could use a Reaction like Tsuruchi Technique, though, that increases the strength of the Ranged Attack.

• Q: Player A has Ikoma Korin exp and four other Lion Personalities in his army. Player B opposes him with a 5F Personality and two 3F Personalities. Korin plays his Battle action. He wants to target the 5F-Personality with 3 Ranged 2 Attacks and the 3F Personality with 2 Ranged 2 Attacks.
  A: [MARTY] Well, that would be a bad idea. I think he'd rather target the 5F Personality with a Ranged 6 attack and the 3F Personality with a Ranged 4 after that. Martin Lund, "Rules for 7 January 2005", 12 Jan 2005
