Breakneck Slaughter

The deck focuses on high-speed and aggressive combat tactics.
It emphasizes rapid movement and powerful attacks, using cards and abilities that boost speed and damage output. While these advantages allow you to quickly engage and overwhelm opponents, the deck comes with a drawback: placing Momentum counters on your fighters. These counters can be used by enemies to push your fighters around, making careful positioning crucial to avoid being exploited.
Overall, Breakneck Slaughter excels in delivering swift, aggressive strikes but requires careful management of Momentum counters to prevent opponents from turning your speed against you.

In-depth deck review by PathToGlory

Q: After the reaction step that follows an activation step, there are twelve fighters that each have one Momentum counter. After resolving the Impetus ability, and having pushed or staggered all 12 fighters, how many times have I resolved the Impetus ability?

A: Once

Q: After the reaction step that follows an activation step, do I resolve the Impetus ability for each fighter that has one or more Momentum counters?

A: Yes

Q: How does my opponent resolve the Impetus ability for a friendly fighter that has more Momentum counters than they can be pushed in hexes but cannot be staggered?

A: The opponent is free to pick any direction for the push, provided that the fighter can be pushed at least 1 hex. Then remove that fighter’s Momentum counters, and nothing else happens

Q: How does my opponent resolve the Impetus ability for a friendly fighter that has one or more Momentum counters but cannot be pushed and cannot be staggered?

A: Remove that fighter’s Momentum counters, and nothing else happens

Q: A friendly fighter has two Momentum counters and cannot be staggered. There are a variety of directions in which they could be pushed the two hexes they must be pushed to resolve the Impetus ability, but there are also other directions that would result in them not being pushed (for instance, they are next to a blocked hex or an edge hex). Is my opponent obliged to place the scatter token in such a way so that the fighter is then pushed the full two hexes if possible?

A: Yes. Since the fighter cannot be staggered, and the Impetus ability must be resolved, this is the only way to fully resolve the card

Q: Who resolves the Impetus ability first if I am the only player with the Breakneck Slaughter plot card and both friendly and enemy fighters have Momentum counters?

A: The player whose turn it is decides
