Helix Gauntlet (1AP): Select one friendly PHOBOS STRIKE TEAM operative within this operative's control range to regain up to 1D3+3 lost wounds. It cannot be an operative that the Medic! rule was used on during this turning point.

This operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative.

Medic!: The first time during each turning point that another friendly PHOBOS STRIKE TEAM operative would be incapacitated while visible to and within 3" of this operative, you can use this rule, providing neither this nor that operative is within control range of an enemy operative. If you do, that friendly operative is not incapacitated, has 1D3 wounds remaining, and cannot be incapacitated for the remainder of that action.

After that action, that friendly operative can immediately perform a free Dash action, but must end that move with this operative's control range. Subtract 1 from this and that operative's APL stats until the end of their next activations respectively, and if this rule was used during that friendly operative’s activation, that activation ends.

You cannot use this rule if this operative is incapacitated, or if it is a Shoot action and this operative would be a primary or secondary target.

*Siphon Life: When you select this weapon, you can use this rule. If you do, at the start of the Resolve Attack Dice step, select one friendly LEGIONARY operative visible to and within 6" of this operative.

  • An operative cannot perform this action during the first turning point, or while within control range of an enemy operative.
