Ignite is a Variable Edict in Hexarion Conquest, designed for safe, mid-range aggression. It allows a Hexmaster to strike from a distance, bypassing terrain and tight formations — making it one of the most reliable offensive tools in the game.
Ignite – Edict Definition
Effect:
Deal 1 damage to an enemy Hexmaster up to 2 hexes away, in a straight line.
Obstacles are ignored.
Key Properties:
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| Type | Variable Edict – Offensive |
| Range | 1–2 hexes |
| Direction | Straight line only |
| Pathing | ✅ Ignores occupied hexes and obstacles (e.g. units, traps) |
| Target | One enemy Hexmaster |
| CE Cost | ❌ None – free to activate |
| Can be Blocked | ✅ Yes — by Shielded or Clone Decoy |
Tactical Uses:
- Hit without engaging — stay out of melee while applying pressure
- Bypass screeners or terrain that would normally block line-of-sight
- Combine with Mark for a 2-damage spike
- Great for softening a target before a follow-up strike or trap play
Rules Clarifications:
- “Straight line” follows standard hex-aligned vectors (like Dash or Long Shot)
- Does not require line-of-sight — it ignores obstacles, not rules
- You still cannot target through walls or off-board areas
