Can you equip the same weapon multiple times in a turn?

Yes, you can equip the same equipment to multiple units in the same turn, provided you pay the equip cost each time.

According to the RiftJudge FAQ #7894:

  • Ruling: "Yes, you can equip the same equipment to multiple units in the same turn as long as you pay the equip cost each time. Equipment returns to base when a unit dies, and current equipment equip costs do not have exhaust, allowing repeated use."

Key points regarding this interaction:

  • Timing: You must follow Base Speed timing (your turn, empty chain, no showdown) to perform the equip action (FAQ #7040).
  • Equipment State: When a unit with attached equipment dies, the equipment detaches and returns to your base in a ready state, allowing it to be equipped again (FAQ #677).
  • Cost: You must pay the full equip cost each time you attach it to a new unit.
  • Limitations: You cannot voluntarily unequip equipment; it must be detached by a game effect (such as the unit leaving the board) before it can be equipped to a different unit.
