Rötschreck vs Riposte

Ah, I see. Yes, yes, you're quite correct.

(btw, your link isn't working for me)

I think the only way to avoid rotchech is play telepathic tracking.

You can cancel the Rotschreck outright with master-cancellation tech, such as Sudden Reversal or Wash. That will depend on you getting into combat when:

a) it's not your turn, or
b) begging one of them cross-table from an ally. Meth A in combat with Meth B on A's turn. Meth B plays Rotschreck. Meth C can cancel it.


You can partially nullify it (it's still on you) if you play any of:
- Telepathic Tracking
- Psyche!
- Coordinate Attacks
- Hidden Lurker
- Fast Reactions


Possibly other effects too.


The basic ruling is from thelasombra.com/rules/RTR512.txt :

Please also note: Santaleous can cancel it as its played.

It cannot be played on gotsdam/someone with sires index fimger,

Most importantly:

Anybody with basic Abombwe can play ANY abombwe card's reflexive text to cancel a frenzy card played on them as it is played.

Technically incorrect. (You probably still wouldn't play it, but you can.)

Rötschreck can be played on a vampire who is immune to Frenzy cards (uselessly,
since the target is immune to it).

Ah yes.

"He needed to cycle a master phase" tech.

I'm not 100% sure what "cycling a master phase" is. But cycling cards for no useful effect is perfectly ordinary if, for example, you want to get to that Deflection you know must be coming up soon.
