Has anyone seen any official ruling on if moving a shield onto Qui-Gon would trigger his ability. I've had people tell me that moving a shield is different from gaining a shield so it wouldn't work but I feel like that's not the case.

Thanks!

I assume that you are referring to Momentum shift?

not that its official so take with a grain of salt but this was posted in another post on these forums a several weeks back.

How Qui-Gon's ability works has lead to MANY long drawn out threads. I honestly don't understand why some are confused by his (or Dooku's ) ability, nor why no amount of explanation from the players (and even the creators) can satisfy those that want to continue to use them the wrong way.

I'm happy to see that the community helped a player here and with the right answer. But you'll notice that there was some tip-toeing in that right answer.

So... is the right answer yes? I'm sorry I honestly don't know which is why I asked in the first place lol

Moving a shield is gaining a shield. Some are confused because moving damage is not "gaining" damage. This special definition of the word "gain" should only be applied to damage unless a card instructs otherwise.

So yes, if you are about to place a shield on Qui-Gon, his ability triggers.
