Close Skills

[Galandros]

I thought it multiple units were killed by the same action (action is trigged by opponent) that close skills resolve in field slot order. Discussion?

I believe it works as follow (or I am lead to believe so thanks to the guide by logress
(found at : http://www.alteil.com/rulebook/index.php?page=dueling_rules&subsection=master_stack_resolution)

"Burial / SP Return of one unit (In order the units killed. In case of mass extinction, the Iczer who initiated the destruction loses units first. Also, units are removed by location on the battle grid, in numerical order.)"

So priority:
1) owner of unit
2) field position.

Bare in mind not all mass effects are considered mass effects.
For example: Der Freischütz SS while it hits several times, after each hit it will resolve, and there are several other SS effects like it.
Overall this is the only way that a mass effect will not resolve in numerical order.

I think only field wipe effects close in order, skills like Dalos' action does not, because its random target, so the close skills goes randomly.

Close skills do go off in numerical order if closed at exact same time.

1 - Fenrir, 2- Nightsoul, 3 - Dagon

Samurai girl slashes during day time, hits the row.

Nightsoul close changes time to night, dagon uses 1 sp to recover itself, fenrir closes, nightsoul closes.

That's how it SHOULD work, but once for some reason all 3 units died on me, I had 1 sp so Dagon should've lived but it didn't. Since then this has been bugging me in my sleep too.

Read my page on timing. Basically, during the Damage Resolution mini-phase, it first checks ALL applicable units to see if they have a Close Skill that needs to go off. If it does, it puts it in the cue. Then it goes through the cue. This is done because sometimes a killing close skill triggers another close skill, and rather than interrupt it's added to the cue at the end. Because it was day when the Close Skills were added to the cue, Dagon's wasn't added in the first place.

I have had night soul and scylla in a column during a column damage SS during day and night soul made it night, scylla revived, is it different because of a SS or something?

[Logress]

Really? I could be wrong, in that it might add Close skills to the cue even if they don't meet their precondition and checks that later. Artist, are you 100% sure of your board position? Also, nev, do you know your board position?

[neviscus]

it was
night soul-1
scylla-4
so it would make sense for them to go in that order. I assumed it checked close skills and had them go off in order, so artist's would make sense
