AoS Skarbrand question

[Lord Skal'terakk]

I have a question for those knowledgeable about official tournaments rules about Skarbrand.
In his warscroll it says that if he goes one turn without fighting he becomes Incandescent, but I don't quite understand if he goes Incandescent for one turn or until the end of the battle. I don't find anyone talking about it online and I thought asking the Lustrian Gods might be a good idea. If all it takes is putting soldiers around him for one turn as he advances towards an objective for him to be full HP Incandescent the whole game, isn't it ridiculously strong? I'm a noob, so I wouldn't know, please tell me your opinions on this!

"Skarbrand’s Rage:
Skarbrand’s infamous fury cannot be quenched. Attacking him only serves to stoke his anger, and his wrath rises to an inferno whenever violence is denied to him.

From the second battle round, if this model is on the battlefield and did not attack in at least one of the combat phases of the previous battle round, when you look up a value on this model’s damage table the model is treated as having suffered 13 wounds."

It last for the remainder of the battle. He is treated as having suffered 13 wounds, so it isn't a condition that refreshes or falls off.

Thank you, Wizard! You're amazing

I would read that as it lasts only until he does attack... not the rest of the battle. it does have a condition... "if he hasn't attacked in at least one of the previous battle rounds" thus his triggering rules are

1: check battle round, if round = 2+ then
2: did skarbrand attack yet in any previous round?
if no: skarbrand damage table is set to 13
if yes: skarbrand damage table is treated as normal

"if he hasn't attacked in at least one of the previous battle rounds"

If he attacks during round 3, the fact that he didn't fight during round 1 or 2 is still valid therefore it lasts for the remainder of the battle.

by your own logic you agree with me, you just somehow ended up at a different conclusion lol. if he attacks in round 4 and he did attack in round 3 it would no longer be active. "at least one of the previous" on round 4 he would have attacked in at least one previous round, thus the trigger wouldn't be met.

The requirement is: did NOT attack for at least ONE of the two combat phases of the previous battle round.

Exemple: If the Khorne player moves Skarbrand on his turn and is not in range to fight but gets charged on the opponent turn, he will be incandescent the following turn as he didn't fight in at least one combat phase

In any case the dude has movement 8 and can be kited easily

Round 2:
khorne's turn: skarbrand attacks and kills one unit
Opponent turn: move away from skarbrand

Round 3:
Khorne's turn: Skarbrand fails the charge, so doesn't fight
Opponent's turn: something charges Skarbrand. Skarbrand is not incandescent because he fought in one of the combat phases of the previous round

The way the ability is worded, it could be interpreted as any of the 2 options we stated above.

I'd rather play a Bloodthirster of insensate rage to avoid the confusion and getting a much stronger unit (i managed to kill 1400 pts in a single turn with it once) for 110 points cheaper
