Aragorn - tactics

By bitzurock, in Rules questions & answers

Hi!

I did not understood the Response on Aragorn tactics: " Response: After Aragorn participates in an attack that destroys an enemy, choose an enemy not engaged with you and engage that enemy. "

So..when choosing an enemy to engage, it means that the enemy attacks first and after it can be attacked?

It depends on when the enemy engages.

Scenario A: Enemy A is engaged, enemy B is still in staging. Enemy A attacks, enemy B does not. TaAragorn attacks enemy A, destroys it, and uses his response to pull enemy B out of staging. Now TaAragorn's buddies can kill it, and it never has a chance to attack.

Scenario B: Enemy A is engaged with TaAragorn's player, Enemy B is engaged with a different player. During the combat phase, A attacks his player and B attacks the other player. TaAragorn attacks enemy A, destroys it, and uses his response to pull enemy B from the other player, so his buddies can kill it. Player B already had a chance to attack.

Scenario C : Enemy A is engaged, enemy B is still in staging. Before enemy A can attack, Quick Strike is used on Aragorn and he destroys it, then uses his response to pull enemy B out of staging. Now enemy B is engaged and will make a regular attack, but since shadows were handed out before he was engaged, he won't get one.

Thank you!

Sneaky!
