Can you pull her from a challenge after the winner has been determined? if not when is the last time you have the opportunity to remove her?

No. There isn't an any phase action window during the challenge after the results are determined. The last chance to pull out is after defenders are declared.
Thanks, was watching a replay of a game on TCOL and the guy seemed to be doing it after resolution and it seemed weird.
Link? :)
I don't know if this will get you to it... Link
I can't see anything with that link... but Shadowcat is correct. You can only do it directly before you determine the winner of the challenge(after defenders are declared).

What is the use of this card?

What is the use of this card?

There are several uses. In a Wildling deck using the agendas, Osha will have stealth. You can attack with her in a challenge, declare stealth, then pull her out to use her again in the other challenge type.

In a regular deck, you can attack with Osha and another character. Your opponent now is forced to defend against their combined strength. Say, for example, you attack with Osha and a Bolton refugee in an intrigue challenge. Your opponent now has to kneel 5 STR to defend it successfully, but, if they do, you can stand Osha to use her in the MIL challenge. Or, they can just give up and let you win it. Either way, it's a great outcome for you.

There are more, but those are probably the main ones.

Oh. Neat!
She is also excellent as a Maester with Apprentice Collar (GotC), Lead Link (CbtC), & Copper Link (GotC) on her.

She kneels to defend a MIL or INT challenge, gives an attacking character -3 STR, Gives some other card (Your House card!) the direwolf Trait so that card can kneel & Shaggydog (LoW) can lower the STR of another character possibly attacking. If Grey Wind (LoW) is out, kill one of those characters mid-challenge. To finish it off, remove Osha from the challenge to be ready to trigger chains again in the dominance.

Come on & chant with me, "UN-DER-RATE-ED!!!"

Lead Link requires you to kneel her, rather than it being a response to kneeling. So no dice, alas.
Ooh good catch. Bummer!
Can you attack with Osha, forcing the opponent to declare defenders, and then stand her, thus cancelling the challenge completely but leaving their characters knelt?
The challenge won't get cancelled. It still resolves with the attacker losing.
She seems to combo nicely with War of Attrition (MotA), especially if you're focussing on Power challenges. There's also all those Martell events that rely on you losing challenges.

The challenge won't get cancelled. It still resolves with the attacker losing.


But with the defenders still knelt, correct? I've used this to get an opponent to kneel someone, not caring that I lost on the attack (since, in these cases, it didn't trigger anything else).

But with the defenders still knelt, correct?


Exactly right.
