Yes, that.

Thanks, that's what I would have guessed.

I don't see how you could choose her as the first target (unless Krug can attack himself), but it seems to my (amateur and unofficial) mind that she could certainly be the second (or the third if you're crazy for some reason).

I'm going to respectfuly (but not officially!) disagree on that point.

No, a figure cannot target itself unless otherwise stated on the Army Card.

I think there can still be some room for disagreement--ISTR similar (official) powers spawning questions on whether the 2nd and 3rd figures are technically "targeted" or merely "chosen"--but I'm coming down on the side of Quahon targeting 3 figures, and therefore none can be her.

Hey there's 4 of these in stock for $11.52 plus shipping at Amazon. They're often hard to come by, but at least there are a couple here for not too expensive.


EDIT: Also it's available here from a European site which has it "in stock" but I'm not sure how many. It let me add 99 to the cart, but I think that's a mistake.

I've had my eyes on that for a bit. I was looking to wait until another object was in stock again to order both, guess Il have to move up my timetable now. :P

[superfrog]

They ship from overseas and the time estimate is in the 3-6 week range... That's the downside.

In a 2v2 game at a Louisville Monthly Tourney my partner's Ne-Gok-Sa mindshackled a full health or 1 hit Quahon (he had come a little too close to try and get more LSBA hits in). The very next turn our other opponent killed Quahon with 3 Stingers who drained on height. Despite the fact that the Stingers continued to rain down attacks from height on subsequent turns we lost by a very small margin of points because of how expensive Quahon was. We were also able to gang up on the Stingers since all the guy with Quahon had left were some spiders and Kira Jax.

I may be reading into this wrong, but your opponents don't get any points for killing Quahon. When you Mindshackle her (or anyone) you instantly score those points because you've taken them out of your opponent's army.

What I meant was that the other team lost a huge chunk of points when Quahon was Mindshackled. I was trying to show that Quahon's price balances her strength (as does her low defense too).

@Porkins can you update this pdf version of the card as well? Thanks!!

[Porkins]

Fixed.

I had a phenomonal game with Quahon last night. It was a 2v2 on a hilly map with cavern walls that you couldn't move or shoot through. There were tons of hiding spots that Lightning Breath absolutely didn't care about. She (more or less) single handedly destroyed both opponent's figures. Getting lucky 3 and 4 skull breath attacks made a difference there, and being able to choose her targets was quite rewarding.

A couple of Zettian Guards were here most damgerous adversary, but with Height and Astrod, she chomped one into oblivion, leaving the other one stuck without his Zettian Targetting.
