Dual Attack	This model can make melee and ranged attacks in the same activation. When this model makes its initial melee attacks, it can also make its initial ranged attacks. A model with Dual Attack can make its initial melee and ranged attacks in any order you choose. This model cannot make ranged attacks after making a power attack.   Errata-Dual Attack and Unit Charges (2023-10-27) Question: If a unit with Dual Attack charges a single model, are all placed in melee range, and the first model kills the charge target, can the remaining members of the unit make ranged attacks, or do they forfeit their Combat Action because they don't have any enemy models in their melee range? Answer: The check for melee range is done at the end of movement. If you kill the targets before they attack, they can still do their ranged attack. (Malkav13) Explanation: This post is correct. Infernal Ruling: elswickchuck (Bulldog) - PP Community forum   Errata-Dual Attack and Special Attacks (2023-08-10) Question: Can a model with Dual Attack make any combination of ranged special attack and normal melee initial attacks, or its melee special attack and normal ranged initial attacks? (Example: Bison Both Barrels and Ram, or Mariner Thresher and gunshot). Answer: No. Explanation: The bison can not use dual attack and also make a special attack. That is correct in that (Thresher) example too. Infernal Ruling: elswickchuck (Bulldog) - PP Community forum

Warjack Rules

Convergence of Cyriss warjacks are called vectors. While being a "Vector" isn't a gameplay rule, the Convergence warjacks do carry some additional rules of their own that set them apart from normal warjacks.

Interface Node	This model has an interface node instead of a cortex, represented by the I boxes on the damage grid. This model gains focus, and can have no more than 3 points at any time. This model can spend focus only during its activation. This model cannot gain or spend focus while its interface node is crippled. This model is immune to effects that cause a warjack to suffer damage directly to its cortex. This model is immune to effects that require a warjack to have a functional cortex. No errata for Interface Node (Create)
Warcaster Dependent MAT and RAT	This model's MAT and RAT are equal to the current MAT and RAT of its controlling warcaster. This model does not directly benefit from MAT/RAT bonuses, but any alteration to a controlling warcaster's MAT/RAT will be passed along to this model. Effects that affect attack rolls will affect this model normally. No errata for Warcaster Dependent MAT and RAT (Create)
No Power Up	This model does not power up and does not automatically gain a focus point for being in the controlling warcaster's control range during the Control Phase. No errata for No Power Up (Create)
Force Induction	When this model spends a focus point during its activation, you can give a focus point to another warjack with an operational interface node if the two are in the same battlegroup and are within 9 inches of one another. This does not override the Interface Node rule limiting the warjack's focus points to 3. No errata for Force Induction (Create)
