As long as a model is Held it gains the Defensive trait and cannot declare any actions except the Disengage Action, a Ki Feat usable in BtB, or the Stand Up Action.

A Held model cannot move or be moved - except to change facing - and suffers a -1 Melee Pool modifier.

Remove the model’s Held marker when:

  • The Holding model is no longer in BtB with the Held model.
  • The Holding model participates in a Melee Exchange with another model.
  • Or the Held model has successfully Disengaged from the Holding model.

A Model with the Intangible or Agile trait has Immune [Held].
