Player 1 has a single Fury Unit at a battlefield. Player 2 moves 2 of their units, a Chaos Unit and a Body Unit, to that battlefield. The Fury unit has an ability that reads "When I defend, draw 1". The Chaos unit has an ability that reads "When I move, draw 1" and the Body Unit has an ability that reads "When I attack, draw 1". In what sequence will these abilities resolve?

The correct sequence for resolving these triggers is: Chaos unit's "When I move" trigger resolves first, followed by the Fury unit's "When I defend" trigger, and finally the Body unit's "When I attack" trigger.

When the Chaos and Body units move to the battlefield where the Fury unit is present, they initiate a move action. According to Riftbound rules (FAQ #6540, #3721, and #5806), "When I move" triggers must resolve entirely before combat/showdown initiates. Consequently, the "When I move" trigger from the Chaos unit resolves first.

Once those triggers are finished, the move is complete, which stages a combat showdown. Combat/showdown effects are then triggered. Following Rule 464.2.e.1, the attacking player (Player 2) places their "When I attack" trigger on the chain, followed by the defending player (Player 1) placing their "When I defend" trigger. Because the chain resolves LIFO (Last-In, First-Out), the defender's trigger (Fury) resolves before the attacker's trigger (Body).

Therefore, the correct sequence is: Chaos unit's "When I move" trigger resolves, followed by the Fury unit's "When I defend" trigger, and finally the Body unit's "When I attack" trigger.

Correct Option: E (Chaos, Fury, Body)

Note: I could not fully verify this ruling against the retrieved rules.
