FAQs
Q: If I choose to pull a minion, do I have to pull all minions?
Yes.
Q: Can I use Floodplain before Maelström triggers?
No. Floodplain is an activated ability, which can only be activated during your Main Phase.
Q: Consider the group of sites below. A large minion occupies 1-2-4-5. Maelström is #5. Can the large minion be pulled in any way?
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
| 4 | 5 | 6 |
| 7 | 8 | 9 |
Yes. When pulling or pushing a large unit, choose a single location the large unit occupies (and meets the requirement of the effect), and push/pull from there. So, assuming Sites 2 and 4 are water sites as well, you could choose Site 2: Large minion is pulled South, and ends up at 4-5-7-8. OR, choose Site 4: Large minion is pulled East, and ends up at 2-3-5-6. OR, choose Site 5: Large minion isn’t pulled at all.
Q: Does the movement get resolved simultaneously?
Yes, all the steps are simultaneously resolved (which might then provoke a variety of triggers).
