Hi,
Following that but, not linked to Halls of the Forgotten stronghold. Subject: Your Clan Needs You + Halls of the Forgotten The Glossary entry for Destroy now reads: 1. When a card is destroyed, it enters its appropriate discard pile, or leaves the game if it was a created card. While it remains in the discard pile, it is dead if it is a Personality. See, etc.[/quote] One more question about "Destroy" : As a destroyed personality becomes dead in the discard pile, does it means that Kitsu Katsuko "destroys" Lion Clan personalities with her limited ability?
If Kitsu Katsuko targets a dishonored Lion Clan personality in a discard pile with her ability, the target's state is set to Honorably Dead. Does it count as rehonoring that personality?
Card's text: Kitsu Katsuko: Battle/Open: Target a Lion Clan Personality in a discard pile and your Samurai: The first target becomes honorably dead. Give the second either Tactician or +3F.
Thanks in advance, Regards, Rémi.

The Personality targeted by Katsuko becomes dead, but this is not destruction. Destruction of a Personality implies he becomes dead, but the inverse is not true.
If the Personality is dishonourable, Katsuko will rehonour him.
