Q. If a model uses an effect such as Harness Chi to increase its duel total, does that modifier also get added to its final duel total? If the model had a lower flipped duel total but uses Harness Chi to increase its current duel total above the opposing model’s duel total, would it now Cheat Fate second?
A. Yes. Modifiers that affect a model’s duel total continue to affect its final duel total (unless otherwise stated) but are not added an additional time when calculating a model’s final duel total. If a modifier is applied before any model in a duel Cheats Fate, this may affect who Cheats Fate first.
Q. What happens when a model with the Gremlin in a Guille Suit Upgrade is near a model with Academic Superiority, causing them to lower their Sz and blocking LoS to the model with Academic Superiority?
A. In this case, the Gremlin in a Guille suit Upgrade would be ignored, regardless if ignoring the Upgrade causes the model with Academic Superiority to lose LoS to the model.
