Disarm Keyword — How It Works in Riftbound

Section 831 — 11 rules

What is Disarm in Riftbound?

Disarm is a Triggered Ability keyword. Disarm is functionally short for “When I attack, give an enemy unit here -X [M] this turn.”

831.1.: Disarm is a Triggered Ability keyword.
831.1.a.: Disarm is present on Units.
831.1.b.: Disarm is an Attack Trigger.
831.1.c.: Disarm is formatted as “Disarm X.”
831.1.c.1.: The X is referenced in the functional text of the ability.
831.1.c.2.: The X is referred to as the Disarm Value.
831.1.c.3.: If X is omitted, it is presumed to be 1.
831.1.d.: Disarm is functionally short for “When I attack, give an enemy unit here -X [M] this turn.”
831.1.d.1.: Regardless of how many instances of the Disarm keyword a unit has, it will only trigger once using the total Disarm Value.
831.2.: If a Unit has Disarm, or has been granted Disarm, and is granted Disarm by an additional source, the Disarm Value of all granted Disarm keywords is summed. Example: Clanging Sentry reads “Your Mechs have [Disarm].” If you play a second Clanging Sentry, both of them will have Disarm 2.
831.3.: Disarm, and whether or not a unit has Disarm, is a characteristic of the Unit and may be checked or referenced by other Game Effects.
