The figure used for this unit are Confrontation figures from the Wolfen of Yllia set. They are available in the Wolfen of Yllia Trackers of Shadow Unit Box (3 figures) or the Wolfen Army Box Set (3 figures). The name of the figure is Wolfen Shadow Hunters.

Character Bio: While the Swiftfangs are a threat, the Quickblades are even deadlier. Vaulting to their targets, the Quickblades can unleash a slash quicker than lightning.

If that weren't formidable enough, a defense of 4 means the 'Blades make a solid front line for the wolves. However, Wolf Pack ensures that even if one Quickblade is destroyed, another wolf will simply attack in its place.

After revealing an Order Marker on the Varkaanan Quickblades' card, before taking that turn with the Quickblades, you may choose one other Unique Wolf Army Card you control and take a turn with it. You may not attack with more figures from the chosen Army Card than the number of destroyed Varkaanan Quickblades on this card.

VAULT
After moving and before attacking, any or all unengaged Varkaanan Quickblades may Vault. Choose an opponent's figure within 2 clear sight spaces and place that Quickblade on any unoccupied space adjacent to the chosen figure. A Quickblade may not vault more than 7 levels up or down in a single vault.

LIGHTNING SLASH SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 1. Attack 3.
A Varkaanan Quickblade that did not attack normally may use Lightning Slash Special Attack. Defending figures that were not adjacent to this Varkaanan Quickblade at the start of its turn subtract 1 from their defense dice for each skull rolled with Lightning Slash Special Attack.

-Rulings and Clarifications-

• VAULT : elevation limit
  Q. : What signify "...more than 7 levels up or down in a single vault." exactly ?
  A. : A Varkaanan Quickblade that uses Vault may not be placed on an unoccupied space that is more than 7 levels higher or lower than the space he occupied before using Vault.

• WOLF PACK : How many attacks ?
  Q. : When using the Varkaanan Quickblades' Wolf Pack to take a turn with another Unique Wolf Squad, if a Quickblade is destroyed during that other squad's turn (for example, by Dying Swipe), am I then able to attack with an additional member of the other Unique Wolf Squad?
  A. : Yes. You may attack with a number of figures equal to the number of destroyed Varkaanan Quickblades, even if one or more (or even all) of those Quickblades was destroyed during the other Unique Wolf Squad's turn. Contrariwise, if one or more Quickblades are revived during the other Unique Wolf Squad's turn (e.g., by the Glyph of Sturla), that will decrease the number of remaining attacks you may make.
