A player, 26 June 2011
I have Fu Leng's Guidance in play and attack into a Crab player. He defends with an army that includes Hida Ikarukani. I destroy Hida Ikarukani with some action. Do I get to react with the Guidance before he can use Ikarukani's trait? If so, does Ikarukani's trait kick in, and must my opponent destroy a personality?
Hida Ikarukani After the resolution of an action that destroyed Ikarukani while he was at a battlefield: The enemy leader chooses and destroys one of his unbowed Personalities at the current battlefield.
Fu Leng's Guidance Reaction: After the resolution of an action that destroyed another player's Personality during a battle, if you are a Spider Clan player, discard this card: Bring him into play, ignoring Gold cost and Honor Requirement, in your current army. Permanently give him Shadowlands and Undead.
Thanks,

Hida Ikarukani has a trait.
Fu Leng's Guidance has a Reaction.
