Can you win the game by moving a single unit to Battlefield A (gaining the 7th point) and then using Ride The Wind on that same unit to move it to Battlefield B (gaining the 8th point), even though both battlefields start empty and you leave Battlefield A?

Ruling: Yes, you can win this way. As long as you've scored/controlled Battlefield A that turn, you can then move to Battlefield B and score the game-winning point. Both empty battlefields will trigger showdowns you must win.

Sequence:

  • Move unit to empty Battlefield A (triggers showdown, gain 7th point)
  • Use Ride The Wind to move same unit to Battlefield B (triggers showdown, gain 8th point and win)

Nuances:

  • The only restriction for scoring the final point via conquest is that you must have scored every other battlefield that turn - it doesn't matter how you scored them or if you're still controlling them
  • Anytime you contest control of a battlefield, a showdown will happen (no free points)
  • Ride The Wind is commonly combined with Vi's Ganking ability to attack two battlefields in one turn: RTW to battlefield A (readies the unit), then Gank to battlefield B
