Counterpart

Some units are faithful companions or subservient minions and are almost never seen apart from another unit. A unit like this has the Counterpart keyword and the miniature that represents this unit is always added to another unit. That miniature has a Counterpart Card and their miniature is a Counterpart miniature. The combined unit has the Rank, unit type, Defense, ?, surge conversion chart, and Speed as shown on the Unit Card.

Sometimes, a Counterpart Card has a different unit type only for the purposes of equipping Upgrade Cards.

• A unit leader in a combined unit can be assigned Wounds when it is the only non-Counterpart miniature in the unit.
• When a Wound token would be assigned to a non- Counterpart miniature in a combined unit, that unit’s controlling player may assign that Wound token to an undefeated Counterpart miniature in that unit instead. That Wound token must be assigned to a Counterpart miniature if it would cause the last non-Counterpart miniature in the unit to be defeated.
• Upgrade Cards without weapons equipped to a Counterpart miniature are usable by the rest of the unit, unless the Counterpart miniature is defeated.
• Upgrade Cards with weapons are usable only by the miniature which has them equipped.
• The non-Counterpart miniatures in the unit use the Wound threshold on their Unit or Upgrade Card, the Counterpart miniature uses the Wound threshold on the Counterpart Card.
• The combined unit has the keywords on both the Unit Card and the Counterpart Card.
• Miniatures in a combined unit may only use weapons that are on their respective cards. If a combined unit gains a weapon from a Command Card, only the non-Counterpart miniature may use it.

If the Counterpart miniature is defeated, the unit loses any keywords, abilities, or effects on the Counterpart Card.
