Ambush — Riftbound keyword reference

Glossary

Ambush is a Riftbound keyword on units that lets them be played to a battlefield where you already control other units — a location that would otherwise be off-limits, since units can normally only be played to your base or a battlefield you already control by other means. While being played that way, an Ambush unit also gains Reaction, so it can drop into a fight already in progress.
