FAQ #10034·May 4, 2026·Asked before Vendetta
Answer
To determine if Vi, Peacekeeper stuns a unit when played via Ambush during a showdown, we must examine her ability and the game's timing rules.
Ruling
Yes, Vi, Peacekeeper stuns an enemy unit when played via Ambush during a showdown.
Reasoning
- Trigger Condition: Vi’s ability states: "When I attack, [Stun] an enemy unit here."
- Joining Combat: Per FAQ 8920, if a unit joins an ongoing combat late, it gains the "Attacker" designation at the moment it enters the board.
- Timing of Ambush: Because Vi enters the battlefield during a showdown as a reaction, she joins that ongoing combat. Upon entry, she is designated as an attacker, which fulfills the trigger condition "When I attack."
Summary of Sequence
- Showdown: Combat is already ongoing; the initial attacker/defender designations are already set.
- Action: You play Vi, Peacekeeper to the battlefield using Ambush as a [Reaction].
- Entry: Vi enters the board and joins the combat.
- Designation: Vi is designated as an attacker.
- Trigger: The condition "When I attack" is met, and Vi’s ability to stun an enemy unit here triggers.
Note: I could not fully verify this ruling against the retrieved rules, as the specific card text for Vi, Peacekeeper was not provided in the source context.
