Rules Clarification:  : Thresher and/or Flashing Blade and/or Cyclone     (Edit) (Click Expand to read)

Resolving the attack Under this heading, the word "Thresher" is used interchangeably for "Flashing Blade" and "Cyclone" too Thresher makes an attack against every model, and as such it targets every model. Thus if a model "may not be targeted by melee attacks", you have to 'skip' it when you resolve the attack. (Infernal Ruling) All attacks made by a Thresher attack are simultaneous. If a model is out of LOS when you start the Thresh, then you may not attack it as part of the Thresh (even if the Thresh kills what is blocking your LOS) This means you need to target everything, then resolve all effects that trigger on "target" before starting any attack rolls. Then complete all attack rolls and do everything that triggers on "hit" before starting any damage rolls, and etc. In practice and to save time though, if neither player has effects that trigger on "being targetted, hit, damaged, etc" then they'll normally do the hit and damage rolls on a model-by-model basis. If a model collects tokens (for instance the Cryx Harrower that collects souls), it cannot collect them until all Thresh attacks are resolved. Thresher only All attacks generated by a Thresher are special melee attacks. They don't work with stuff worded to trigger on a "Basic attack" (such as Electro-Leap, Grim Salvation, Rhyas1's feat, etc). (Infernal Ruling) No matter how many enemy you kill, Thresher only counts as a single attack for the purposes of triggering Berserk, Quick Work, Black Spot, etc You can do a Thresher on a charge (it's a special melee attack). If you charge & Thresher, only the damage roll against your charge target is automatically boosted - other models caught in the thresh suffer an unboosted damage roll (although you can spend focus/fury to boost it) You can't buy additional Thresher attacks, because they're (★ Attack). You can buy additional normal melee attacks, though. Thresher will hit friendly models. Flashing Blade only You can cast it after your charge movement but before your charge attack. This will essentially interrupt your charge attack, so no damage roll is boosted while resolving the spell's attacks (unless you pay to boost it). If your charge target survives the spell , then you'll get your boosted charge attack against it. Flashing Blade doesn't hit friendly models Cyclone only You can cast it after your charge movement but before your charge attack. This will essentially interrupt your charge attack, so no damage roll is boosted while resolving the spell's attacks (unless you pay to boost it). If your charge target survives the spell and is still in range, then you'll get your boosted charge attack against it. If you used the advance to move out of range of your charge target, it was still as successful charge so it won't cause your activation to end. However, you are still limited to making melee attacks only. Cyclone will hit friendly models. The attack(s) from Cyclone occur simultaneously with "Ends its movement" triggers (such as Admonition). As such, the active player can use the Cyclone attacks before the inactive player uses his Admonition move. (Infernal Ruling)
