A player, 10 April 2013
Hello,
Just wanted to ask something about Goju Asuka's Trait.
The way I read it, I'm understanding that Asuka can't assign (into a defending or attacking army) and will not move into a defending army.
Some people are reading it that Asuka can't assign (defending army only) and won't move into a defending army.
Just wanted to know which one was correct.
Thanks!
Goju Asuka: After Asuka enters play: You may give control of her to another player. Asuka may not assign, and will not move, into a defending army. After a Straighten Phase begins: Choose your bowed non-Spider Clan Personality. Negate his straightening this phase.

Both clauses on Asuka modify "into a defending army". He may assign or move into an attacking army.
