### TA Stats

DarkstriderTA

As much a maverick as he is a master of covert operations, Darkstrider is a formidable leader of stealth and sabotage missions. Despite often not following protocol, his expertise in guerilla warfare renders him an invaluable asset for the T'au.

## Active Ability

**Fighting Retreat**

Adjacent enemies gain a Markerlight. They also have 1 fewer Hits and deal -X Damage for one round. Darkstrider and adjacent allied units ignore their Close Combat Weakness trait for ranged attacks until the end of this turn.

If Darkstrider is adjacent to an enemy, he can immediately take another turn after using this ability.

*Note: At release (February 2023), there is a visual bug that shows this ability reducing 1-hit attacks to 0 hits. However, it cannot reduce the number of hits below 1 and affected units can still attack with 1 hit.*
