What should Raider Captain’s +1 attack go on?
An entity that hasn’t attacked yet this turn, ideally one headed for the leader. The Captain attacks first, and its +1 only helps an entity that attacks after it.
Step by step
- Attack the opposing leader with Raider Captain. Bloodlust makes it 2 attack, and When Attacking gives another entity in your Garden +1 attack until the end of the turn.
- Give the +1 to a Charge entity played this turn. Steel Talon then hits the leader for 4 with its own Bloodlust. Scarlett hits for 5 if she also takes her own +1 and Infiltrate, so no Defender can stop her, but she is sacrificed at the end of the turn.
- With Zero as your Leader, use Zero’s ability on the Captain first: 1 damage and +1 attack, so the Captain hits the leader for 3 and survives at 1 health.
Good to know
Our read: Bloodlust and When Attacking both trigger when the Captain targets the leader, so a Defender redirect doesn’t undo them; the Captain’s damage just goes to the Defender instead. Once/Turn is per Captain, so two Captains give two +1s.
Fractured Domains isn’t out until November 20, 2026. This is our read of the revealed card text, not an official ruling.
