I have a minion with 2 vitality assigned to a companion with 1 vitality, I play Final Triumph and I use vitality to resolve a skimish instead of strenght
QUESTIONS:
1)The comapnion is overwhelmed?
2)In this case the vitality is considered strenght or not?
3)My opponent could use an event to add...Example +2 to the strenght of his companion?
Sorry for my bad english |

| As far as I’m concerned, Final Triumph does not switch vitality with strength, it merely replaces the criteria involved in resolving a skirmish, usin vitality INSTEAD of strength. Overwhelming is pretty specific, stating that when a character has double the STRENGTH of the other, it’s overwhelmed, so no. Also, if you pump his strength, good for you, it’s pumped, but it won’t affect the vitality, which is what is being analyzed in the skirmish. |

This question is very tough to answer as Decipher have not clarified this.
The definition of overwhelm is the strength is double or more. So there are 2 ways of looking at it.
1. Vitality replaces strength as it says "use vitality to resolve" so it is overwhelmed.
2. It is vitality not strength so you cannot overwhelm using vitality.
This is the most unclear part. I dont think anyone knows the answer for sure. I would guess the second is true.
I dont think if you play a strength event that it will increase the vitality. A minion with 9 str and 2 vit with a +2 strength event will not go from 2 vitality to 4. That im sure of.
Edit: FM beat me to the answer but good to see he agrees. |
