DEFENSIVE POSITIONING
While an Ebon Armor is engaged, it has no visible Hit Zone.

ANIMATED MATERIEL
When an Ebon Armor you control is destroyed, you may place it on a Unique Human Army Card in your army that does not already have an Ebon Armor on it.

ETERNAL WAR
For the entire game, when a Unique Human Hero or Squad figure you control is destroyed by a normal or special attack or leaving engagement attack by an opponent's figure, you may replace it with your previously destroyed Ebon Armor from that figure's Army Card, if possible.

-Rulings and Clarifications-

Q: If a Unique Human figure is destroyed by Pounce, or by a Zombie, or by Nicholas Esenwein, can that figure be replaced by an Ebon Armor before the attacker places a figure there?
A: No.
Those powers replace the defending figure "immediately," and have priority over placing Ebon Armor, which are only placed "if possible".

Q: If Kursus destroys a Unique Human figure with Sonic Fists Special Attack, can you replace that figure with an Ebon Armor before Kursus is placed?
A: Yes.
Kursus is not placed until after his attack action is complete. The Ebon Armor may be placed first.

Q: Can I use Eternal War to place an Ebon Armor if there are no Ebon Armor figures left on the battlefield at that time?
A: Yes.
Eternal War works "for the entire game", even if all Ebon Armors have been destroyed and none are currently on the battlefield.

Q: What happens if the Ebon Armor Army Card gets negated by Morsbane or Kira Jax and a Unique Human with an Ebon Armor on its Army Card is destroyed?
A: That Ebon Armor may not be placed on the battlefield that turn.
Eternal War cannot be used if the Ebon Armor have been negated.

Q: What happens when I Mind Shackle an Ebon Armor?
A: All Ebon Armors that belong to that Army Card are yours for the rest of the game. That includes Ebon Armors that have already been placed on Unique Human Army Cards.
The original owner cannot replace those Unique Human figures with an Ebon Armor on that figure's Army Card. However, if you were to later gain control of a Unique Human that has an Ebon Armor on its Army Card, you would be able to replace a Unique Human figure from that card with the Ebon Armor (see below).

Q: If I gain a Unique Human card (by Mind Shackle, Soul Devour, or Stab in the Back) that has my oppponent's Ebon Armor on it, can I use Eternal War to place those Ebon Armor?
A: No.
You must control that Ebon Armor's Army Card to use Eternal War. However, if you were to later Mind Shackle your opponent's Ebon Armor card, then the Unique Human you previously gained control of could be replaced by the Ebon Armor on its card (see above).

Q: If a Unique Human Hero is turned into a Hybrid by the Werewolf Lord's Lycanthropy, when that Hero dies can it be replaced by an Ebon Armor on its Army Card?
A: No.
An Ebon Armor can only be placed back on the battlefield when a Unique Human figure is destroyed, not a Hybrid.
