We need your blood - question.

By Marduk2, in Warhammer Invasion Rules Questions


Action: One target unit gets -1 hit points and another target unit gets +1 hit points until the end of the turn.

I understand that there are many way to make the -1 hit points part of this card result in a unit death with any other damage combo. But when you add + 1 Hp to one of your units that doesnt really help right because at the end of the turn the +1 hit point removes itself and then if your unit has max damage they die...right?

I assume the answer is no but if i target a 1 HP unit with the - 1 HP part of this card, does it die?

True, but if you're defending (too lazy to check if there is a timing-limitation on the card), it allows you to buff up, forcing opponent to assign extra damage to your Unit(s), instead of your capital.

Actually, the answer is yes. When a Unit has 0HP, it also has equal or more damage on it than its current HPs (even with 0 damage on it), so it dies.

Also consider the possibility of cards such as Valkia The Bloody or Bloodsworn that can move or remove damage at certain points in the turn. As long as I get the damage off me before the turn ends and my extra HP goes away, I am good to go.
