Hello all. This came up in a game I played over the weekend. I had Yoda enhanced with both Makashi Training and Shi-Cho Training. Makashi Training gives the unit targeted strike, and Shi-Cho reads "Damage from enhanced units unit damage icon type may be divided among any number of participating enemy units".

Now I in my mind feel like if I'm making a targeted strike, then I'm bypassing the requirement for enemies to be participating. Thus I should be able to also ignore that same requirement when dealing with splitting damage with Makashi Training.

My opponent argued that you had to do one or the other, and that if I used targeted strike, then it excluded the Shi-Cho Training and vice versa. I sided with him to keep the game moving.

So my question is what can be targeted when both of these are an option. Can you divide the damage in any combination between any enemy unit(s)? Can you divide the damage between any participating units plus one targeted strike unit? Or does one exclude the other?

This is answered in the FAQ page 7. Basically it is one or the other. They don't work together.

Toqtamish and your opponent are correct, Pianoplayer. The rulebook states that to use Targeted Strike you place all of your Unit Damage upon a single Unit. It would have to be one or the other as their abilities come into conflict rather than show any evidence that they would work together.

Thanks for clearing that up for me
