Welcome!
I need clarification about rules of combining ranged attacks*:
Can i combine Kyokuta ability with other ranged attacks, for example fueling the flames? If i use his ability when combining ranged attack, is he gaining force bonus coming from his ability?
My understanding of this rule* is as following: I create ranged attack from fueling the flames, then i interrupt this action with kyokuta ability, paying the cost, gain force and add ranged attack from his ability to total ranged attack created by cards in his unit.

"Fire Void Battle: Discard a card with an element keyword to give Kyokuta a Force bonus equal to the card's Focus Value. You may make a Ranged Attack with strength equal to that Focus Value."

You may combine Kyokuta's action with other Ranged Attack actions, either as the Battle action or an Interrupt; if you use his action as an Interrupt, he still gains the force bonus.
