The way it's written, it seems like Anya Waynwood could kneel an enemy neutral location for her ability cost. Do I understand correct?

Rules FAQ

  • See FAQ entry 2.10 (Characters contributing their STR) for how this mechanic works.

  • You can choose a kneeling character, a character without the corresponding challenge icon, or a character controlled by an opponent. Anya will not kneel that character or make it participate in the challenge. If the character chosen by Anya later becomes participating (for instance, due to being declared as a defender), that will "override" Anya’s ability.

  • Any character that is only contributing its STR to your side (without actually participating in the challenge) will not be able to trigger reactions in step D of the D.U.C.K. sequence (for instance, Greatjon Umber), nor use any of its keywords in step K.

  • Abilities that refer to a character attacking or defending alone (such as Mirri Maz Duur or Jaqen H'ghar) still work even if another character is contributing its STR to your side via Anya’s ability.
