Rules Q&A
- Q: Takao says " Battle : Bow Takao to destroy an opposing Ninja card." Does this mean holdings, regions, personalitys or items? Does it just mean anything with Ninja in it?
A: "Opposing" means in the opposite army from the one that Takao is in, and "Ninja card" means any card that has the word "Ninja" in its title or boldface traits area. If Takao is defending a Province, he can destroy any Ninja Personality, Follower, Item, or Spell that's attacking that Province, and vice versa if he's attacking. He can't destroy Regions or Holdings (not even Fortifications) since they're not parts of armies, and he can't destroy anything if he's unassigned.
