Fenn Signis can give the ability Assault to a trooper, once per round. But, does the figure gain that ability permanently?

It's a temporary ability that lasts the round, if not I have been under-utilising the ability in my last few tournaments

I thought the same and I have been playing as you say. But... Why? Is there any rule saying that Assault ends at the end of the round?

Fenn and Assault has already been discussed.

Not the same question as yours however while discussing Fenn,

Thank you, but I didn't see anything about my question there.

Ok, your right it doesn't answer your specific question. How about this;

If the said Trooper does keep the Assault ability between rounds, how will your opponent know which figure has the ability between rounds?

What I'm trying to say is that personally I would only allow 'conditions' to carry over between rounds, and any other affects are re-set during the Status Phase. Lets see if FFG clear this up in a FAQ.

The official answer:

The figure only gains the ability for that activation, not permanently.

Thanks!
