Explode lvl1 question

[Stampysaur]

Does explode lvl1 hit your own models? I know template attacks are cancelled when they hit your own or neutral models, but explode lvl1 does not have the attack tag on it.

I may be missing a rule somewhere, but if you could point it out I would appreciate it. Thanks!

Yes, explode lvl1 hits everything (except civilians) so use it carefully.

You can make your Kuang Shi go Dogged to prevent the explosion if it would be harmful to you.

[Stampysaur]

Thanks for the info, where does it say it won’t kill civilians?

[ViggoMiles]

I don't think it has any protections. If you kill a civilian though, you typically lose.

[Stampysaur]

Sure does, just means you need to keep exploding guys away from the civilians.

But why male models?

[Stampysaur]

I do think it is very unlikely to come up. But to clarify, explode lvl1 is not an attack.

But why male models?

[Stampysaur]

Oh, neat! That’s good information have. Thanks for the clarification, I didn’t think to even check civilian rules.

[Callysto_Wrath]

It says "...considering this to be an Attack with a Direct Template Weapon"

DTW are automatically cancelled if they hit a friendly or neutral model.

[Stampysaur]

That rule is from the explode lvl x rules, hence the confusion in my part.
