Rules Q&A

• Q: Hey Junta, because I run into this and I can't be a***ed to bicker over it every time, does Andos action trigger Kuon's trait? Yes? No? Why?
  Kitsune Ando: Mantis Clan • Samurai • Scout Battle: If the current battlefield was targeted by a Recon action this turn: Destroy a target enemy attachment.
  Kuon's trait reads:
  After the first time each battle another player's action targets Kuon: If he is the only Personality in his army, the action's (remaining) effects do not happen.
  Thank you
  A: Simple answer: No, Kitsune Ando's action does NOT trigger Hida Kuon xp6's trait.
  Long answer: Targeting the unit also target's the personality. If the action targeted Kuon's UNIT, it would trigger Hida Kuon xp6's trait and the effects would be negated.
  Targeting just the attachments however, does not also target Hida Kuon explicitly. Dan Jacobson, "Hida Kuon and attachments", 9 Dec 2009
