file Question about Frontal Assault

01 Jun 2016 23:33 #77065 by mjvtes521
Can the same minion rush multiple different minions in the same turn using Frontal Assault? For example, I control Minion A. My prey controls Minion B and Minion C. If Frontal Assault is in play, can I have Minion A rush Minion B, then play freak drive after combat, and then rush Minion B? I think so, but I'm not sure. Please help. Thanks.

Frontal Assault
Master

Master.
Put this card in play. Each ready minion you control may enter combat with any minion controlled by your prey as a (D) action. You gain 1 pool each time a ready minion controlled by your prey is burned or sent to torpor. During your influence phase, burn this card and burn 1 pool for each ready minion controlled by your prey.

From the rulebook (emphasis mine):

"A minion cannot perform an action with the same action card more than once each turn, even if he untaps. A minion cannot perform each action via the same card in play (including from the minion's own card text) more than once each turn, even if he untaps."

Frontal Assault is a card in play that provides an action. A minion is forbidden to take the action more than once each turn.

It's worth noting that, as Frontal Assault is not unique, each Frontal Assault you have in play gives you a seperate rush action

So, with 2 in play, it would be legal to Freak Drive and rush again, using the rush action from the other Frontal Assault, but it's not possible with only one in play.

I like your thinking ... :splat:

Additionally you get twice the pool when torporzing/burning minions! (Admittedly, you also loose twice the pool, when the FAs are burned).
