Some characters are marked with a symbol on the character base. These characters are Improved and can use certain abilities that make it easier for them to move and/or draw line of fire. Check the character's card for more information.

If the character card has a little bullseye, that symbol is referred to as IT for brevity from here on, that character has some form of Improved Targeting. Different symbols (including colored squares, circles, and other icons) follow the IT to tell you exactly what kinds of Improved Targeting the character can use. Here is a list of the symbols and their function:

• ■ Ignores elevated terrain.
• ■ Ignores hindering terrain.
• ■ Ignores water terrain.
• ■ Ignores blocking terrain.
• ■ I Ignores indoor blocking terrain.
• □ Ignores outdoor blocking terrain.
• ■ Ignores blocking terrain. When a ranged combat attack resolves, any blocking terrain along ts line of fire to the target is destroyed.
• ● Ignores characters
• ● F Ignores friendly characters
• ○ Ignores opposing characters
• oo May make a ranged combat attack targeting adjacent opposing characters.
• oo> May make a ranged combat attack while adjacent to an opposing character.

Some other game effects, like powers, combat abilties, or relics, may also allow a character to use IT. In those cases, they use the same symbols as listed above.

Can I counter Improved Targeting?
Yes. Improved Targeting is a combat ability and can be countered the same way you would counter Flight, Indomitable, or any other combat ability that can be countered.

So do I counter each little colored square? Or will countering Improved Targeting knock out all the little symbols?
The combat ability is Improved Tareting, not each little symbol after the IT symbol. So one single use of Outwit would knock out all Improved Targeting.
