Annexation of the Forge (Yellow)

Annexation of the Forge’s Crush ability triggers when it deals 4 or more damage to a Guardian hero. You equip an equipment they have equipped when this triggered effect resolves.

When resolving the Crush triggered effect, you must have the appropriate empty head, arms, legs, or chest zones with nothing equipped to it to be able to equip the equipment you choose. This is also true for off-hand/one-hand equipment: you must have the appropriate empty weapon zones with nothing equipped to them. In any of these situations, if the zones are not empty and/or they have objects equipped to them, the equip effect simply fails.

Any objects you equip from the other player will remain in its current state (e.g. tapped/untapped, existing counters, defending itself etc.).

Equipping an object this way can satisfy any conditions and can trigger any effects that specifically look at when you equip an object.

The effect of equipping an object this way does not satisfy any conditions nor trigger any effects that specifically look at when the object enters the arena or is played because the object is already in the arena.

Equipping an object this way does not count as stealing or heroes giving that object for the purposes of rules or effects.

When resolving the Crush triggered effect, if you were to gain control of a defending equipment card that is equipped, it will remain as a defending card. If this is the case and the damage step hasn’t happened yet, that defending card will contribute its defense value (if any) during the attack’s damage calculation.
