[Warcry- Cypher Lords Discussion]

So I had to look that one up, the answer is: No, using abilities does not cost an action. Please disregard my last post. (goes of to reread the rules)

I find Shadowy Recall to be an odd ability. The only 2 units that can use it are your leader or the luminate (2 most expensive units, and the ones with the most damage potential) Wasting an action and 3 dice to "save" a 75-120 point figure (or possision them to attack) feels wrong given that action economy is a big part, and not using your best fighter (I mean 5 attacks with 2/6 is insane!) to fight just feels wrong.
