ArcMaster Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 because the stormsiren does not have a high or low listed by the Hazardous 3 she gives the tide pools, does it effect titan an non-titan units the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3 necroon Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 High and Low, respectively, apply to individual Traits. Per the rulebook: Quote Below are various Terrain Traits. These Traits apply to all Fireteams, but a Trait may be modified by High or Low. A Trait that is High only affects Titan Fireteams. A Trait that is Low only affects non-Titan Fireteams. As the Stormsiren does not state "Hazardous 3 [Low]" the Hazardous portion of the Tidepools granted by Lurking in the Depths would affect all types of units, including Titans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Thisendup Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Low hazardous terrain affects titans just the same as everyone else except they can draw line of sight through it without penalty. They still take the strength 3 hit, just the same as if the ran through difficult terrain (which would be a strength 2 hit) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still take the strength 3 hit, just the same as if the ran through difficult terrain (which would be a strength 2 hit) No. Terrain marked as Hazardous (2) [low] would only affect non-titan fireteams. That's the point of the [low] designation. If the terrain was just Hazardous (2), then it would affect everyone. From the terrain section of the rules: Quote Below are various Terrain Traits. These Traits apply to all Fireteams, but a Trait may be modified by High or Low. A Trait that is High only affects Titan Fireteams. A Trait that is Low only affects non-Titan Fireteams. So looking at the example terrain traits, Dangerous Flora (Hazardous (0) [Low],Difficult [Low], Concealing [Low]) has literally no effect on Titan Fireteams, they just ignore it. A Minefield on the other hand (Hazardous (3)) would absolutely affect Titans (and non titans for that matter) because it lacks the [low] or [high] designations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still take the strength 3 hit, just the same as if the ran through difficult terrain (which would be a strength 2 hit) Perhaps we have a different interpretation on page 18 (in the free online rulebook) of the following passage in the third paragraph: "Below are various Terrain Traits. These Traits apply to all Fireteams, but a Trait may be modified by High or Low. A Trait that is High only affects Titan Fireteams. A Trait that is Low only affects non-Titan Fireteams." So as far as I understand if it's Hazardous and low it does not affect Titans. It would also be weird in the example terrain to have the distinction between say Undergrowth, and Forest (dense) when it comes to difficult terrain.
