Ruling · 900.9
Maim against a Relentless target
This rule is part of the Comprehensive Rules, where every cross-reference resolves in one page.
- Question
- Can a Relentless unit be Maimed?
- Answer
- Yes. Maim ignores status immunity.
- 900.9aThe status-application gate checks Relentless against a table of blocked statuses, then makes an explicit exception for Maim.
- 900.9bThe consequence is that Relentless does not protect a unit from being set up for a Cull. Maim goes on, and Cull ignores Relentless as well.
- 900.9cMaim still respects the other application gates. It is refused against a dead, Entrapped, or Dormant unit, and against Tools and Hubs.
- 900.9dRelentless does still block the healing denial's usual companions — a Relentless unit cannot be Burned or Venomed to force the Maim to matter — but its own healing is reduced by Maim exactly like anyone else's.
