timing question (Plaza of Punishment)

By jkilroy, in Rules Questions

Hello everybody,

I don't get it how Plaza of Punishment works.

Do I have to wait for an action window to do the reaction?

Let's say I am the first player and do not initiate any challenges. The second player initiates only one challenge, a power challenge, which I win. Winners are determined at 4.2.2. There are no more action windows in phase 4. So if I need an action window to do my reaction with Plaza of Punishment I have to wait until Dominance Phase and after 5.2 is the next action window.

Is that correct? Somehow I can't believe it.

Thanks for your help an please excuse my English.

The ability on Plaza of Punishment is a reaction, which means you don't need to wait for an action window, but for its triggering condition (you winning a Power challenge) to happen in 4.2.2. By the way, there is an action window after each challenge, the arrow goes from 4.2.6 to the action window between 4.1 and 4.2 (effects granting extra challenges could happen in that action window, like Olenna's Informant's reaction).
