War Chest
If a Pikeman destroys the attacker, does the attacker's "after" attribute (Swordsman, Warrior Priest, Berserker, Bannerman) still trigger?
The designer's September 2026 ruling reverses his June 2026 reply and the older Nobility FAQ answer.

Yes, per the designer's September 2026 ruling: attributes that start with "After I attack" or "After I maneuver" always trigger, even if the Pikeman removed the unit's last coin. They can then fizzle when they resolve: a destroyed Swordsman cannot move, a Berserker with nothing to discard cannot act again, and a Bannerman has nothing to push. A Warrior Priest still draws its coin. This replaces the designer's June 2026 reply and the older Nobility FAQ, which said destroyed units do not trigger. The same holds for the Sacrifice decree.
