Charge

"Units with Charge may attack from any position and will target the enemy Unit in the first position."

Remarkable Interactions

2. When combined with Piercing, Charge bursts through armor and decimates the health of the opposing unit.
3. When combined with Oppress, Charge deals double damage to non-attack Units.
4. Lookout does not protect against Charge. 

Notable Rulesets

1. Equal Opportunity and Super Sneak - Opportunity and Sneak override Charge in these rulesets. Check the Ruleset and Targeting Interactions article for more details.
2. Maneuvers -  Reach does NOT override Charge.
3. Fog of War - Charge is not impacted by the Fog of War ruleset. Units with Charge may attack from any position even when Sneak, Snipe, and Opportunity are disabled. Check the Ruleset and Targeting Interactions article for more details.
4. Stampede - The Stampede ruleset allows the Trample ability to retrigger infinitely. Units with Charge and Trample remain well protected in the backline while devastating your opponent's team. 

Notable Abilities
