If the rancor lands on a figure pushes the figure 1 then can you parting blow with the rancor?

did the figure leave adjacency somehow?

Yes.

Parting Blow doesn't check adjacency between figures.

Yes, when being pushed from under a massive figure ending movement, the pushed figure is exiting a space adjacent to the massive figure and Parting Blow can be used. (Unless the space the figure exited was a blocking terrain space.)

(You can choose any space a Large figure occupies to determine if the Large figure is adjacent to a space.) I don't know of a ruling that would change this.

Im listening to rancor twin trooper podcast and in it at around 42 mins they said they directly asked ffg and it turns out you can do it so yea.

@Zagnoroth

So to expand on your question and talk about in-game practicalities, what you're trying to do is figure out how to attack twice with the beast, since a straight attack wouldn't get you Stunned, which will cost you an action.

It works like @a1bert mentioned, but what you're going to want to do on that activation is move the Rancor with Beast Tamer to land on the figure, ending your movement, which will push the figure, which is when you play Parting Blow, then you use the Rancor's first action to clear stun and the second action to attack.

Did I get that right?

For bonus carnage, you can drop Crush when you end movement and attack with Size Advantage to put even more damage onto whatever you're targeting. It's a good way to use the trained Rancor to spike damage on something when you can't spread it around with Brutality. Although, if your use of Crush and the Parting Blow attack works out (and you put Cleave on someone else) and kills the figure, you can Size Advantage onto the other figure that took the cleave damage for a decent attack to finish it off too. Easy way to wipe out some pesky Weequays or a couple of eRangers.

Also not a bad way to stomp Vader under your immense girth. Especially if you had Element of Surprise and/or Tough Luck on hand to mess with his dice.

Yea so I would move 7 with beast tamer then attack then move 1 more and crush then parting blow then next turn I would use unshakeable.

That's definitely another way to do it with Unshakable in the mix.

You can also Beast Tamer into Pummel.

You have a lot of setups with the Rancor actually, and every time I work it into a Mercs list I wind up enjoying myself, despite a maybe 6-4 win/loss ratio with it when I've rolled it out at events.

It got me to Day 2 at Worlds last time I went in 2017 if that's any kind of endorsement (it's not ? )
