Flying

Can traverse impassable hexes and enemies and move between any elevation.

Mechanical

Cannot be healed, but can be repaired instead. Note: units with the Living Metal trait also count as being Mechanical

Exemplar of the Mont'ka

Way of the Short Blade

Commander Farsight's melee attacks deal +579 Damage for each time another friendly Character within 2 hexes has performed a ranged attack this turn. When Commander Farsight kills an enemy unit with a melee attack, he repairs himself for 7273 Health.
