Unit Special Ability
Combat orders targeting this unit
cost 1 extra order point.
Notes from Drake the Lesser
- Elusive does not affect special orders such as
Fireburst or Death Touch.
- Strategically, Elusive is very powerful. A normal 8-point turn
allows you to move and attack with formation units (the bulk of
anyone's forces) twice. A target with Elusive is going to cost you
at least one of those attacks, cutting your offensive capability in
half. It doesn't always work that way, but it happens often enough to
be a factor.
- It is possible to have a unit with multiple Elusive icons. In this
case, each additional ready icon adds one order point to the cost of
attacking the unit. For example, if a unit has two ready Elusive icons,
it would cost 4 order points to attack it with a formation.
