Shyla's Mandalorian Whip and adjacency

By Trevize84, in Imperial Assault Rules Questions

As per subject this ability says that I can push an hostile figure up to 3 spaces to a space adjacent to me.

1) Does it means I must stop pushing as soon as hostile figure is into an adjacent space?

2) Let's assume Shyla is adjacent to Vader, can she whip Vader and push him into another adjacent empty space?

3) Because it's up to 3 spaces can I whip Vader and push him into 3 different empty adjacent spaces in sequence?

To understand why I ask this, imagine an optimal situation where Shyla has 2 Parting Blows. If what I asked if possible then Shyla could perform 3 attacks and 1 move.

Thanks for the answers.

1) It only matters that the figure ends adjacent. The Up to 3 means you can push the figure 0 and adjacent, 1 and adjacent, 2 and adjacent or 3 and adjacent.

2) Yes

3) Yes

I believe your use of two Parting Blows would be correct, except that the Stun from the first Parting Blow would prevent attacking the two additional times.

Shyla would need two other Brawlers for you to be able to use both Parting Blows and complete her Whip Attack.

You're right on the stun, I haven't seen that. But let's assume Shyla has Rally. I just want to understand if Whip can push in questions 1,2 and 3.

1.No. The figure must (be able to) end the push adjacent to Shyla or Shyla cannot even start the push of Mandalorian Whip. (When adjacent, things like mission rules dropping the figure through trapdoor can happen allowed.) You can push up to 3 spaces.

2.Yes, as long as Vader still ends the push in an adjacent space.

3.The spaces pushed through don't need to be empty, just the space the push ends movement in needs to be empty (and otherwise valid to end movement).

Rally has to be used at the start of Shyla's activation, by the time she's started using her whip it's too late to use rally.

However Shyla could whip her target such that 2 other nearby friendly Brawlers could use Parting Blow and then Shyla finishes by attacking the target. But you can push the figure however you want to, so long as it's only a total of 3 spaces and the pushed figure ends up in a space adjacent to Shyla.

Right! So apparently no way to perform 3 attacks :(

Without two more brawlers nearby, No. (or some way to make Shyla immune to stun for the turn)
