Faction units and spires can attack in order to deal
Damage to opponents. An attack is a specific type of
Damage that occurs as a stage of your
Turn during the Onslaught Phase.
Damage dealt in other ways, such as by
Retaliation or through talents, is not considered to be an attack. Talents that refer to attacks do not apply to
Damage dealt in other ways. If a
Talent is triggered “when attacking,” its effect occurs simultaneously with the
Damage being dealt, and before
Retaliation. If a
Talent triggers “after attacking,” it occurs after resolving the attack and
Retaliation if it is not defeated. See also:
