Answer

Ruling: Viktor's activated ability goes on the chain and can be reacted to. Once the ability resolves, the Recruit token it creates will finalize and immediately resolve without a window to react to the token itself.

Sequence:

  • Viktor's activated ability is placed on the chain
  • Players can react to the activated ability
  • When the ability resolves, it instructs you to play a Recruit token
  • The Recruit token finalizes and immediately resolves (no reaction window for the token)

Nuances:

  • Effects that instruct you to play units or tokens do linger on the chain and can be reacted to, but the units/tokens themselves resolve immediately when finalized
  • This is the same interaction as Aurora triggers - you can react to the trigger, but not to the unit card being played
  • applies to "[Abilities that Add resources], [Units], and [Gear]" - meaning units and gear themselves resolve immediately, not abilities that create them
