Yogo Rieko's ability : Battle: Even if Rieko is bowed or not at the current battlefield, pay 2 Gold: Straighten a target Personality.
Can i use her ability if she is bowed and at home ? (or at another battlefield).
According to this : "Effects that check for a condition phrased as “X or Y” are also satisfied if both X and Y are met." I would say yes, but it's not exactly the same context...
Sorry if this is a stupid question, thanks for your time
