I ran into a situation with this card the other day and I wasn't quite sure how to resolve it. I was playing one of the Fellowship quests (I don't remember the name at the moment) and the watcher in the water was in play and was "considered to be engaged with each player" is it legal to use Feint on the watcher? If so, is the watcher unable to attack all players or just one?
Feint has been changed in the LOTR FAQ ver 1.4 to read “Combat Action: Choose an enemy engaged with a player. That enemy cannot attack that player this phase.†This was done to limit the ability of Hama recycling feint/thicket of spears and essentially locking down bosses such as Durin's Bane in Multi-Player games.
So in my example could I choose a player, and then the watcher couldn't attack that player?
Well...Watcher is Immune to player card effects. And Feint says specifically "Choose an enemy". So it's illegal to Feint Watcher in any circumstances.
One of the best cards in the game IMO. Definitely one of the best tactics cards.
Useful for fighting hordes and brutes alike.
Think about it - you don't have to declare a defender and you don't have to worry about the shadow card delt to that enemy. AND it's just 1 cost.
Its only flaw is that it's a Combat Action, which means you can't use it for enemies that attack outside of the Combat Phase. Still an auto-include in my Tactic decks.
