attack legend

By outlawarmy, in Warhammer Invasion Rules Questions

hello

When I attack a legend from quest zone, my opponent has 1 unit at that zone as a defender.

The question is : can I assign damage to legend first, or I have to assign the demage to the defending unit, then give legend?

Thanks

First, kill the unit i think.

hello

new question

high elf quest Defend Tor Aendris

Quest. Any unit questing here may defend any zone. Quest. You may spend resources on this quest to pay for cards and effects. Quest. Forced: At the end of any turn in which the questing unit defended, place 2 resource tokens on this card.

below is from lenegds-rule.pdf

"Only units in the defending zone can defend a legend."

So can I use this to defend my legend?

thanks

Yes, this quest text breaks that rule.

Are you sure? I don't think "Any unit questing here may defend any zone" allows the unit to defend an attack on the legend via the kingdom or battlefield, unless "attacking a legend via a zone" is a subset of "attacking a zone".

Via Lukas's ruling about attacking Legend and Spoils Of War:

"No, the zone is not considered to be attacked when a legend is attacked through the zone. So "When this zone is attacked…" effects will not trigger."

Oops, didn't think about this one a whole lot. Sorry for the misinformation.

thanks a lot

Just to be clear, what scenario is it:

1) when legend is attacked, and defends itself, so it can cause normal damage to attackers - and the attackers don't have the opportunity to apply their damage to the legend until other unit is applied enough damage to be killed?

Or

2) legend i attacked and do not fight, only this other unit defends, so attackers must pass through defender in order to harm legend.

First one does not make much sense to me.
