Rulings

  • The target is a Soul Spot with an active Soul in the Front Line on it. Because the target names the Soul, it targets that Soul too: a Soul that is Unyielding against it (rank 2 or higher) can't be chosen (11.4.5).
  • The discard (as many cards of the Soul's attribute as its rank) is paid when the Ambush resolves. The HP check comes after: if the Soul has more than half its maximum HP, it stays, and the cards stay discarded (11.5.4).
  • "Half" is exact: a Soul with 45 maximum HP is retracted at 22.5 HP or less, so at 20 (14.1.2).
  • A Leader can't be retracted (15.4.1). A retracted Soul takes its Armament back to the hand.
