How to use this creature in practice
Melee core and holding approaches
Kenshi should take reachable melee exchanges or hold an approach to more valuable units. Before advancing, identify its next target and enemies able to attack it afterward.
Watch for: Base stats are not the final exchange result. Account for retaliation, current creature count, target immunity and subsequent action order.
Timing, specific abilities and the follow-up plan
Combat movement 5 and Initiative 45 are separate. Choose a reachable target by current order and the actual physical or magical attack type.
- Battle Ready: Kenshi can retaliate repeatedly within a round. The trait does not itself override an attacker’s explicit prevention of retaliation.
- Challenge: The first target deals 45% less damage to other stacks; the challenger does not receive this protection. Another enemy can be challenged after that target dies.
