If a unit is targeted by an ability but moves to a different location before the ability resolves, does the ability still affect that unit?

Answer

Ruling: Abilities always resolve, but if the ability specifies a location requirement (like "here") and the target is no longer at that location, the ability mistargets and does not affect the unit.

Sequence:

  • Target is selected when the ability is activated
  • If the target moves before resolution, check if the ability has location requirements
  • If location requirements are not met, the ability mistargets
  • The ability resolves but has no effect on the target

Nuances:

  • The target cannot be changed once determined, even if it mistargets
  • Even if another valid target is present at the location when the ability resolves, you cannot retarget to it
