keword(s): Sentinel, or characters with the robot keyword whose name includes "Sentinel"

At the beginning of the game, choose a keyword for all friendly characters using this team ability. Characters using this team ability modify their attack value by +1 when making an attack targeting only opposing characters with the chosen keyword.

Question 1 is on about keyword and theme team.

Lets say I have a team of CW sentinels who have the robot keyword and sentinel in their name and Nimrod who has the sentinel keyword as well as the robot keyword and but does not have sentinel in his name.

So I have a robot theme team, who gets assigned the ATA? With the or clause is it one or the other so I just assign Nimrod or the Sentinels from CW with the ATA? Or would they both get it even though they meet the requirements differently?

Second kinda silly question, just because I can't remember off the top of my head, is beginning of game prior to or after force revealing and map choice or before? Be kinda fun to have to blind pick a keyword

Everybody that qualifies for the ATA gets it, so all of them. I'm not aware of any precedent for 2 different qualifications for the same ATA prior to this, but nothing in the wording of the rules would give me any cause to think it'd matter


Beginning of the game is after forces are revealed no blind choices required.

Any ATA with multiple qualifying keywords would be precedent, and there's plenty of those. This is no different, it just tacks on an additional qualifier for one of them.

thanks guys
