When you conquer, does the Battlefield when conquered effect or the Legend effect resolve first?
When you conquer a battlefield, the resolution order between a Legend ability and a "When you conquer" effect depends on the specific trigger condition of the Legend ability.
Legend Ability vs. Conquer Effect
If the Legend ability is triggered by winning a combat (such as Draven's ability), it resolves before any conquer effects.
According to Riftbound FAQ #8578, the sequence is:
- Combat concludes: You win the combat (only your units remain).
- Legend Ability: The "When you win a combat" ability triggers and resolves immediately.
- Conquer: You gain control of the battlefield and score the point.
- Conquer Effects: Any "When you conquer" triggered abilities (from units or the battlefield) trigger and are placed on the chain.
Multiple "When you conquer" Effects
If you are comparing two different "When you conquer" effects (e.g., a unit's conquer ability and a battlefield's conquer ability), they trigger simultaneously.
According to Riftbound FAQ #1870 and FAQ #7517:
- Both abilities trigger at the same time upon conquering.
- The player who controls both abilities chooses the order in which they are placed onto the chain.
- They resolve in the order you chose (LIFO - Last In, First Out).
Summary of Timing:
- Combat-winning Legend abilities resolve before the act of conquering and before conquer effects.
- Multiple "When you conquer" effects trigger simultaneously, and you choose their resolution order on the chain.
