Can Imperial Decree allow you to split damage between a Tank and another unit (Ahri) when attacking with multiple 1M recruits?

Ruling: No, Imperial Decree does not change how you assign damage to units. When a Tank is present, you must assign all damage to it first before dealing lethal damage, and you cannot reassign damage before doing lethal to a unit.

Sequence:

  • Send recruits one at a time to work around the Tank
  • Kill the Tank with one 1M recruit (due to Imperial Decree)
  • Kill Ahri with another 1M recruit
  • Conquer with the third 1M recruit

Nuances:

  • If you send all recruits at once, all damage must be assigned to the Tank first
  • Imperial Decree increases damage but doesn't bypass Tank's damage assignment rules
