Oh, now I understand what you were saying in the earlier post. My mistake for misunderstanding. Like I said, I agree that is the correct conclusion, but disagree it is unambiguous and perfectly clear.

All good. And yea, you're right. If people are asking then obviously its not completely clear.

just to latch onto this thread pulse wave states that:
Give this character a ranged combat action even if it is adjacent to an opposing character; the area of effect for this attack is half the character’s range. Draw lines of fire to all other characters within the area of effect, including at least one opposing character; these lines of fire ignore all game effects except for walls, blocking and elevated terrain

Banshee can use Improved targeting: ignore elevated.

because pulse wave specifically states that it's lines of fire are blocked by elevated terrain, i'm assuming it cannot be use the improved targeting? (elevated still protects you when he uses pulse wave)

Another question:
Banshee is shooting down at a figure in a crater on the moln map...Banshee is NOT on the rim of elevated BUT he should still be able
Yo "shoot over" two other figures in front of the figure he's
SHooting at

... I'm pretty sure that improved targeting works on PW. I don't see any reason it shouldn't as it explicitly states that you ignore raised for line of fire, and pulse wave requires line of fire, so the improved targeting should superseded the rules for PW.

The bolded is untrue. PW makes his lines of fire ignore everything except elevated and blocking. His IM then ignores the elevated, and if you use the dba they will ignore the blocking

So just to kind of sum up everything here. Banshee will deal 1 extra damage while using pulse wave in both multiple targets and single target pulse waves and he can also use pulse wave to target characters through elevated terrain.
