Riftbound Ganking: what it does
GlossaryGanking is a Riftbound keyword on units that lets them make a standard move directly from one battlefield to another. Normally a standard move only reaches your base or a battlefield adjacent to it; Ganking is a passive ability that widens those options without removing any move a unit already had.
What Ganking adds to movement
Ganking is functionally short for "I may move to a battlefield from another battlefield with a standard move." It's purely additive — it grants a new destination option for the Standard Move action, it doesn't cost anything extra, and it doesn't grant an additional move or activation beyond the unit's normal one.
Why Ganking rewards board presence
Because Ganking lets a unit reposition battlefield-to-battlefield rather than routing back through base, it's strongest on a board where you already have units spread across multiple locations — reinforcing a fight, or pulling out of a bad one, without giving up tempo on the trip. See the Combat Keywords guide for how it combines with Tank, Shield and Backline to control where a fight actually happens.
