COVER FIRE
When attacking an opponent’s figure, if Agent Skahen inflicts one or more wounds, you may move one Tricky figure you control who follows Vydar and is within 8 clear sight spaces of Agent Skahen up to 4 spaces. You cannot use Cover Fire to move Agent Skahen.

STEALTH DODGE
When Agent Skahen rolls defense dice against an attacking figure who is not adjacent, one shield will block all damage.

-Rulings and Clarifications-

• Cover Fire activates after inflicting a wound on an opponent’s figure. How does that interact with powers like the Deathreaver’s Scatter, or on powers that allow figures to ignore wounds? Scatter activates after rolling defense dice, Cover Fire activates after inflicting the wound (after attack/defense dice are counted). Scatter activates first, then Cover Fire. If a special power allows the wound(s) Skahen inflicted to be ignored, Cover Fire would not activate. (From the Heroscape Advanced FAQ)

Power Rankings

Jexik: Agent Skahen- She's a pretty solid hero, but the Krav make for a pretty tough act to follow. A-

OEAO: Agent Skahen- Actually better against melee than against range. Very solid ranged hero: 2x3s at 7 range is solid, and 6 move with 7 range is stupid good for kiting. Otonashi with her Cover Fire is hilariously good for the 10 points. Unfortunately, Skahen suffers from whiffs more than even Krav, as a single whiff can easily spell 2 wounds or death. A-
