Keywords Crab • Dragon • Lion • Scorpion • Unicorn Text After an enemy card is destroyed during a battle, if the destruction was not from another player's card effect, gain 1 Honor.
1)"another player's card effect" that means my card effect will not give me honor?
2)Battle Resolution will gain you honor since it is rule book effect? if 3 cards are destroyed during resolution I gain 9 honor instead of 6 honor?
3)if my opponent use Desperate sacrifice or redirecting rage will gain me honor? cause its their card effect?
4)If opponent has a personality with 2 attachment and is killed during battle with fear + okura or duel, i gain 2 honor? cause the attachment were destroyed by rule book effect?
5)Ring of fire and Wedge doesnt count cause it is after battle?

Any destruction, OTHER than one that comes from another player's card effect, triggers the honor.
1. Your card effects will give you the honor. 2. Battle resolution will give you the honor. 3. Your opponent's Desperate Sacrifice or Redirecting Rage will not give you the honor, as they are another player's card effect. 4. The rulebook destruction of attachments due to a Personality's destruction will give you the honor for the attachments.
