Title: A couple of Noob Questions regarding retreating and enhancement playing
Post by: shifty2112 on March 21, 2012, 02:25:01 AM
Ok, I been playing a few games, trying to wrap my brain around a couple of rules. i was reading in the 3rd gen rules that came with the started pack. I could swear I read that one option you have when going into battle as a hero you can decide to withdraw from battle and everything goes back and your hero is not discarded. Is that still a rule or did I miss something?

Second question, I have say a Red Brigade hero, and the enhancement card I have allows me to take the hero out of play, put in my set-aside area. Do I have to put him in battle first? then when he enters battle, I then put the enhancement on him? Do I finish battle or immediately withdraw and put him into the set-aside area? Or do you play the enhancement on the hero before battle, move him to the set-aside area then you can battle with a different hero? Hope that all makes sense.

Welcome!

1. Some heroes, such as Spy and Rhoda, have this type of ability, and a couple enhancements allow a hero to withdraw unharmed, but no rule allows just any hero to withdraw this way.

2. Set aside enhancement can be played on a hero outside battle, but only during prep phrase or discard phase. They can still be played during battle like normal, but set the hero aside immediately (not after battle).

Playing a set-aside enhancement outside of battle has no bearing on what hero you can use during battle, except that heroes in set aside cannot enter battle from set aside.
