The Book of Nakita Agents

The Book of Nakita Agents
Thora's Vengeance - Collection 5 - "Gladiators and Agents"

If you cannot see the Army Card graphic, check Hasbro's Unit Page for stats and special powers, plus "character biography" and other non-game unit info.

Character Bio: She draws in the cool night air in long painful gasps. No amount of training at the agency could have prepared her for this. Mind racing, the young Nakita Agent nervously rolls a metallic cylinder between her thumb and forefinger. It’s a slick little device -- a close range laser cleverly disguised as a tube of glossy red lipstick. “Chrissy!” Her fellow agent, Kimberly, calls to her in a hushed voice. Chrissy looks up and meets the eyes of her ally. The bond between Nakita agents is so strong that they rarely need words to communicate. A squadron of Gorillanators is pinned under heavy fire from one of those Deathwalkers. Chrissy clicks her tongue to signal Angela, the third Nakita, 2 meters down the ruined wall they're jokingly calling cover. A sudden hand gesture and her teammates are over the wall firing on the towering machine. On cue, Chrissy throws smoke powder from behind the wall, then moves to aid in the Gorillanator’s retreat. There will be another day for victory. (Hasbro)

_________________________________________________________________
-Rulings and Clarifications-
  • - SMOKE POWDER 13 : Re-rolling After Failed Attempt
    If a figure with Double Attack is targeting the Nakita Agents, or any figures near at least one Nakita Agent, and you do not roll 13+ for Smoke Powder. Can you re-roll for Smoke Powder on the figures second attack?
    Yes! The wording for Smoke Powder states that if it is successful, the figures do not have any hit zones for the duration of the targeting figures turn which would include the second attack. However, if the first roll for Smoke Powder is unsuccessful, once the figure is re-targeted with the second attack of the double attack you would be able to roll for smoke powder again! (Hasbro FAQ)

    - SMOKE POWDER 13 : Defending Against a Squad
    Does the smoke powder block Line of Sight for an entire squad that attacks the Nakita Agents, or just 1 figure from that squad? What happens if the Agents do not roll for Smoke powder on the first attack from a squad? When the next figure from that squad targets them, do they get to roll again?
    The Nakita Agent's card says "For the duration of the targeting figure's turn". When a squad takes a turn, they move together, and then they attack together. That attacking figure's/squad's turn isn't over until all figures from that squad have attacked. In other words, as soon as a Nakita Agent rolls for Smoke Powder against a squad figure and is successful, it takes effect for the rest of the turn for that squad. The other figures in that squad would be unable to attack affected figures unless they were adjacent to a Nakita Agent, or any adjacent figure covered under the smoke powder. However, if the first roll for Smoke Powder is unsuccessful, once the figure is re-targeted (targeted being the key word) with the second squad figure attack, you would be able to roll for smoke powder again!
    (Hasbro FAQ)

    - GORILLINATOR MOVEMENT BONDING : Using Movement Enhancements
    When using the Gorillinator Movement Bonding, can the Gorillinator’s movement be enhanced by anything like roads, or auras to increase the amount of spaces it can move?
    No. That is a static move value. The 3 Gorillinators that you choose to move may move up to 7 spaces each, but cannot move any further. (Hasbro FAQ)

    - SMOKE POWDER 13 : ‘Targeting’ Figures For an Attack
    If I ‘target’ a Nakita Agent, (or any figure adjacent to a Nakita Agent), and they successfully roll Smoke Powder, can I target another figure not adjacent to a Nakita Agent and attack them?
    Yes. Before attacking a Nakita Agent, (or adjacent figure), with a normal ranged attack, you must first declare that you are targeting that figure. If Smoke Powder is successfully rolled, you may then target and attack any other figure within range. (dnutt99)

    - SMOKE POWDER 13 : Moving Adjacent to an Agent, After Successful Smoke Powder Activation, On the Same Turn
    A Nakita Agent I control was targeted for a normal ranged attack, (by a member of my opponents ranged squad), and I successfully rolled for Smoke Powder 13. My opponent then targets a Deathreaver, rolls the attack dice, and misses. After rolling defense dice, I "Scatter" the same Deathreaver adjacent to a Nakita Agent. Can that Deathreaver be targeted for another attack by the other attacking squad members?
    No. The Deathreaver "Scattered" adjacent to a Nakita Agent who has no available hit zones because of Smoke Powder 13. Since the effects of Smoke Powder last the duration of the attacking squads turn, the Deathreaver no longer has any valid hit zones until the attacking squads turn is over. (dnutt99)
    (*NOTE: This ruling has come from WoTC and has not yet been confirmed by Craig & Co.)

Might need some clarification on one more thing. If three nakitas are adjacent to one figure and he is attacked, do you roll for smoke powder once total or once per agent? I think that the official ruling was once total, but that should definately be included in the book as it is contraversial.

One roll. The way its worded you get one roll per attack, not agent.

Interesting. The bio seems to be subtly suggesting the use of lasers for line of sight. (or I may be reading to much into it) I know many people already do...

This bio also suggests that Deathwalkers are firing on Gorillinators - meaning Utgar is firing on Vydar. Maybe Vydar will be going away from Utgar after all?

But the ninja's profile says that they're attacking Ugtar. It really doesn't make any sense to me.

I feel sorry for you. Your not me.

It seems as though all the generals are just going to gang up on Utgar, which is awesome because he has so many units

Has a verdict been made on Jotun throwing units to the Nakitas to trigger the engagement strike? Does that work, if so I can't wait to use it, but I don't want to cheat if it's not legal.

Quick question about Engagement Strike 15 - I read the link but it didn't clarify what I was look for. If a figure moves into engagement with 2 Nakitas at the same time, would you roll the D20 twice or just once?

I would assume twice.

Twice would be correct.

Kumiko is not impressed with your sculpt, either.

Seems logical. It would be just like running away from 2 figures, they each get a roll also.
So I'd say one for each Nakita you move next too.

In the sound of the wind in the night
My sword will drink blood
And I will fight, Yes I will fight
In the dawn of battle"
