Lets say I have a Treefolk army rolling for saves and I get two SAIs: cantrip and wild growth. I resolve the wild growth first: promote two units and count the other two wild growth results as saves. Next I use the cantrip to Path the Noble Willow to another terrain.

Question: Do the two wild growth results that I want to count as saves still count towards the army's save total?

Similar question: If the army generated counter and cantrip, I used counter to kill four health of my attacker's units, then pathed the counter unit away, does the counter's save results still get added to the army's total?

Ok, there is a sequence for SAIs for a reason. In this case Special and Unique effects happen in the same phase, so the player gets to choose the order. However, after Special and Unique SAIs are done, then normal results are totaled. Note carefully that is after.

So let's take your first example. Wild Growth has two possible effects: Promote (Special) or Save (Normal). You use 2 of the special and promote. Then you use a Cantrip (Unique) to cast a Path. Then you total your normal results from the army. Since the unit that rolled the Wild Growth is no longer in the army, it's results are gone.

Second is really the same. The Special effect of Counter (damage at the opposing army), are resolved first. Then the Cantrip paths the unit away. When the army results are tallied, the unit is no longer there, so it's saves results are gone.

Note that the Ghost's Vanish SAI is doubly special it that it can move away, but leave it's save results behind. But that does not change the rule, Vanish simply has that special effect.

Ok, I just wanted to make sure I was doing everything right (and I probably would have gotten Counter wrong if I hadn't asked).

Thanks
