Time-Skipper

(5)-[Triggered, 1/Encounter]: When you use the Movement Maneuver through the Time-Skip Unique Ability, you may move to any Square on the Battlefield. If this Square is adjacent to an Opponent, use the Basic Attack Maneuver as an Out-of-Sequence Maneuver but you must target that Opponent and you must use the Simple Profile for that Attacking Maneuver. You cannot Ki Wager on this Attacking Maneuver, but it automatically hits that Opponent and your Opponent cannot use the Defend Maneuver against this Attacking Maneuver.
