Specifics

The hero may set an ambush that covers a 3x3 grid on the battle map. If no attack occurs, the hero gets a free attack that deals +2 damage at the start of the following turn. This free attack must be used first before any other actions or abilities, even Swap Weapon, or the opportunity will be lost. The free attack does not need to be targeted within the original ambush area. Additionally, note the interaction between Ambush and the following abilities:

  • Through Shot is not applied.
  • Ember Arrows is applied.
  • Sharpshooter's +1 damage is applied, but the reduced minimum range for bows is only applied to the enemy-turn attack, not the free player-turn attack.
  • Ambush works with ranged transformation abilities, but will only trigger if no allies will be harmed by the attack (e.g. by Flamesoul's Cone of Fire).
