Nikita Question

I want to make sure nobody else reads this differently:

Their engagement strike ONLY works if the enemy engages them right? (Meaning if they engage the enemy they cannot use it, only vice versa)
 
What if the enemy moves from one tile adjacent to a Nakita Agent to another tile adjacent to a Nakita Agent. So basically, if an enemy tries to dance around the Nakita, do they take hits? I thought not when I read it, but a friend of mine was insisting that they would take the hit for moving around them. It's a tad vaguely worded...

Figures may only be targeted only as they move into engagement with a Nakita Agent.

Moving into engagement is only the first time you move adjacent to them. Moving around a figure while remaining adjacent is moving within engagement, but not into so you wouldn't roll for another strike.
 
Gotcha. The first time it mentions it, the wording is "moves adjacent," which seems like it could go either way. But later it clarifies. Thanks ^_^
 
A nice way around the Engagement Strike is to summon or carry someone adjacent to the Nakitas. Since the figure isn't moving into adjacency (it's being placed), there should be no ES.

wrong. The designers have stated that moving and placing are synonymous basically.
 
The way around it is use large or huge creatures against them. :D

Newb.
 
This power works well against Deathwalker 7000. So much for his Self-destruct!
 
That was a quote from my brother.
I appologize. I didn't know that 'one without a father' would be sensored here.
Which is, much more than 4 letters.
Having a standard 4 letter asterix as standard replacement makes it seem like I said something far far far worse.
 
I want to confirm. If my opponent uses the summoning glyph to summon a Nakita Agent. Do i Roll for engagement strike on the summoning figure?

If the Nakita is the one being summoned, no, the figure that summoned her is not subject to an engagement strike.

If the Nakita is the one summoning adjacent to her, yes, the figure summoned is subject to an engagement strike.
 
could be brutal, if I have all the nakitas around the summoning glyph and then summon someone, then that person is subject to 3 engagement strikes followed immediately by 3 attacks.

Is this right?

I played a game the other day and did not use my engagement strike against my opponents Rechets. I thought since they were summoned adjacent to my agents that they did not move there technically.

Did I forego my engagement strike without cause?
 
Yes, it has been ruled that movement of any kind causing a figure to become adjacent to a Nikita will trigger Engagement Strike.
 
Okay, "movement of any kind." Got that.

What about Zombies Rise Again? Does an adjacent unit changing into a zombie trigger the engagement strike? I'm inclined to think yes, because the Zombie is becoming engaged with the Agent, but would like some confirmation.
 
Interesting, I'd vote yes because that zombie wasn't engaged before then and now it has been placed into the engagement.
 
I'd also agree that the newly placed Zombie is subject to an Engagements Strike. As would be a newly placed Divider.

And now comes the totally awesome and incredibly unlikely best case scenario - A Divider engages a Nakita, gets kicked in the face by the Nakita, but gets the Divide roll. Then the newly placed Divider lands next to the Nakita, gets kicked in the face, Divides, etc... :lol:
