I did a search for this and didn't find anything, but this search engine and i have never got along.
so say you're defending against crab and they swing at two. three personalities at one battle, kuon by himself at the other. first battle is where he has 3 units, you unpredictable strategy a Kaoru with Kuon.
but Kuon is in an army (though not the current), and he's alone. would using Unpredictable Strategy to switch Kuon and another personality still work?
i'm probably coming at this from the wrong direction, but it's come up in games a few times so i'd like to know.
thanks

After the first time each battle another player’s action targets Kuon: If he is the only Personality in his army, the action’s (remaining) effects do not happen.
Is Kuon in an army? Yes, even if he is at a battlefield that isn't the current battlefield.
Is he being targeted? Yes.
The rest of the effects of Unpredictable Strategy will fail.
Mod nudge: Please use full titles of cards when asking questions. There are some questions about legacy cards, and putting in experience levels will help alot. Thank you!
