Since Ixchel is considered adjacent to all hexes, is the troop that’s allied with Ixchel considered adjacent to all opposing units for placing tactics?
Yes, the troop that Ixchel is allied with would be considered to have a unit adjacent to all opposing units, since Ixchel is one of their units and Ixchel is adjacent to every unit in play.
Does the skill “Taunt” affect Ixchel?
Yes. Taunt says: ”When an opponent adjacent to this unit attacks, it must attack a unit that has Taunt.” Since Ixchel is considered adjacent to all units, if Ixchel attacks and an opposing unit had Taunt, Ixchel must attack that unit with Taunt.
Does Ixchel’s skill “Inspire” apply while Ixchel is at 0 HP?
Yes. While Ixchel doesn’t take turns at 0 HP, its skill is still active. When the HP on Ixchel is at 0, it is allied with the rival (since the player doesn’t have more HP on Ixchel than the rival does). And since all units are considered adjacent to Ixchel, when Ixchel is at 0 HP, all rival units get to add 1 Blue die to their attacks.
