#Changes to Frontline-Triggers

Currently there are card interactions that are unintuitive and inconsistent regarding "when this unit moves into the frontline (...)" triggers.

Let's take 361. Afrika Regiment as an example: It's text says "When this unit moves into the frontline, deal 3 damage to the enemy HQ." When the 361. Afrika Regiment of player A moves into the frontline during player A's turn, player B's HQ takes 3 damage. But if the same unit of player A moves into the frontline during player B's turn, player A's HQ takes 3 damage instead.

=> This shows that "the enemy" for frontline-triggers is **relative **to whose turn it is.

This is inconsistent with how other words are static and don't change depending on whose turn it is; e.g., "friendly units" always denotes the same units, no matter whose turn it is. Or Akita Regiment ("Destruction: Deal 2 damage to a random enemy") dying will always deal 2 damage to the same player, no matter whose turn it is.

I think that words like "friendly unit(s)", "enemy unit(s)" and "enemy" should always mean the same player, and not change depending on whose turn it is. But the way current Frontline-Triggers work goes against this, is unintuitive and inconsistent.

Note: Panther A also works the same way as afrika.

Player B plays Panther A.
Player A plays chasing shadows on Panther A.
Player B does not draw a card when player A ends the turn

#

Similarly pulling their unit into frontline with chasing shadows also activates their CMs such as Missing or Envelop

@acoustic hornet i might be misunderstanding the most but when i play chasing shadows on the enemy afrika, i still take the dmg

#

how ever when i do it on a panther, the owner of the panther does not draw

#

this appears to be a bug

I see. I have never had this happen in one of my games, so I took others' words for it

as you would expect

#

panther A how ever stopped the owner of the panther drawing

#

unlike with afrika

#

considering they use the same wording, youd expect them to work the same way so its most likely a bug

#

just put it in #bug_reports instead
