Cheat on Relent and Accuracy Modifier

[Dassenkop]

Having only recently 'discovered' relent and the possibility for the attacker to cheat I wondered about the following.

My model attacks another friendly model. I decide to relent which means only the attacking model will flip a card.

Suppose I flip a #13 card resulting in a tie. Now I/the attacking model decide(s) to cheat with a #1 card with a suit in order to hit the trigger for the attack. Is this still result still considered a tie?

For the accuracy modifier do I flip (3 cards, pick the lowest)? ... or do I flip (2 cards, pick the lowest) since the 'cheated' 1 card resulted in a 1-5 difference vs the initial tie?

A model that relents automatically ties the attacker's final Duel total, which is the total after Cheating or any other modifications are used. So if a Ca 5 model attacks and flips a 13, then cheats a 1 for the suit, the defender will tie with a 6. If the attacker didn't cheat after flipping the 13, the defender would tie with an 18. If a model relents, the damage flip will always be at  for tieing.

Bakunin is correct, I just want to add that it's a tie even if it would be impossible to tie a regular flip (e.g. you flip the BJ + Ml5 targeting a model with Df6, or you RJ a Ca7 action against a model with Wp5)

BJ is not a autofail.   It counts a unsuited Zero.    If I was attacking Teddy (Df 3) with a MI 6.  I flip a BJ and Teddy flips a 3 or less.  I would still be winning.

Good point Mantra! So many people seem to count the black joker as auto fail.
