Deflect: While a unit with the Deflect keyword is defending against a ranged attack or using the Guardian X keyword, its surge conversion chart gains surge:block. Additionally, during the Convert Defense Surges step before converting the results, the attacker suffers one wound if there is at least one Surge Defense result in the defense roll. If the Deflect keyword causes the attacking unit to be defeated, the attack continues, and the defender can still suffer wounds. While defending or using the Guardian X keyword against an attack in which weapons with the High Velocity weapon keyword are the only weapons in an attack pool, the Deflect keyword has no effect.

Guardian: While a friendly trooper unit at Range 1 and in LOS of a unit that has the Guardian X keyword is defending against a ranged attack, it may cancel up to X hit results during the Modify Attack Dice step of the attack sequence. For each hit result canceled in this way, the unit with the Guardian X keyword rolls a defense die matching the one on its Unit Card. After converting any defense surge defense results according to its surge chart or by using surge tokens, the unit with the Guardian X keyword suffers one wound for each blank result. A defending unit that has the Guardian X keyword used on it gains a suppression token as normal. A unit cannot use Guardian X if the defending unit also has the Guardian X keyword. If multiple friendly units can use the Guardian X keyword during an attack, the player who controls those units declares which unit is using the Guardian X keyword and resolves their ability before choosing whether to declare that another unit is using the Guardian X keyword. A unit cannot use Guardian X if it has a number of suppression tokens equal to or greater than its courage. The Pierce X keyword can be used to cancel block results on defense dice rolled by a unit using Guardian X; treat canceled block results as blank results. After using Pierce X in this way, any unused Pierce X value can still be used to cancel block results rolled by the defending unit. Additionally, a unit with the Guardian X keyword cannot benefit from backup and ignores the Corps rank requirement to provide backup.

Charge: After a unit that has the Charge keyword performs a move action during its activation that brings it into base contact with an enemy miniature to start a melee, it may perform a free attack action against that unit using only melee weapons.

Jump: A unit that has the Jump X keyword can perform the Jump X card action any time it could perform a move action. The unit performs a move action as normal and can ignore or end its movement on top of terrain that is height X or lower. While performing a move with the Jump X action, a unit ignores the effects of difficult terrain and other miniatures with a height equal to or lower than X. When making a move with the Jump X action, a unit may place the movement template overlapping impassable terrain but may not end its move overlapping it. When a unit performs the Jump X action, measure height from that unit’s starting position.
