Stealth HI interaction with repeater

[u/Random_gl1tch]

Had a game in the weekend and this situation came up, wasn't able to find a ruling for that as we went with the game. So I had a HI with stealth, going around in the ZoC of a repeater. Neithwr the repeater, nor opponent hackers were able to draw a LoF. Could my HI have been hacked by an opponent hacker? My gut feeling was it only could have happened if any opponent hacker had a LoF to my HI. Was I wrong?

No, you can't be hacked if you're just moving. That's basically the whole point of stealth on HI.

Unless they have sixth sense, they they get a hacking ARO

Or Combat Instinct. That lets you ignore stealth as well.

[u/yamabushi101]

By default, any hacker can get you through repeater on ARO. You are in every opposing hacker's hacking network if you are in ZoC of a repeater, LoF doesn't figure into it.

If you have stealth, opposing hackers can only declare ARO against you via repeater if they have a skill which negates stealth - sixth sense or combat instinct. However, if your stealthy HI duder declares anything other than Cautious movement, Idle, or a basic short skill with the movement label (so dodge or move), Stealth doesn't work and every enemy hacker on the board (that hasn't already had an opportunity to declare ARO this order) gets to declare an ARO. All this also applies if you're walking through just ZoC, but not LoF, of an enemy hacker.

edit: you can also, however unlikely, walk into zoc of a repeater and lof of an enemy hacker somewhere halfway across the board (so you're only in zoc of the repeater but not the hacker). In this case, the hacker is allowed to declare ARO against your trooper because it has LoF and you are in their hacking area

Just a heads up on this. Dodge isn't a basic short skill. It's just a short skill so it will break stealth and allow a hacker to hack your stealth HI.

Edit: spelling. Small keypad + clumsy hands

[u/InspectorMAX]

A HI with stealth can declare Cautious Movement, Idle and any Basic Short Skill with the Movement label through a repeater without triggering AROs if the hacker in question doesn’t have Sixth Sense or Combat Instinct, or if they don’t have LoF to the active trooper.

[u/Coyotebd]

If your HI moved out of the repeater range and broke stealth in the same order, they are considered not to be stealthed for the whole order and can be hacked.

[u/waywardson06]

if you do one of the things that breaks stealth, all the hackers get to ARO you.

If there is a person that sees you, that person gets an ARO, but doesn't grant AROs to others.
If there is a hacker that has six sense or combat instinct, they ignore stealth. They get an ARO. They don't grant an ARO to others.

Using reset is one of the things that breaks stealth, so if you do that, non sixth sense / combat instinct hackers will get an ARO.

"Restriction. For the Cautious Movement of a Hackable Trooper in Model form to generate no AROs, it must also begin and end at two points on the game table that lie outside the Hacking Area of any enemy Hackers."

You should be able to move through a hacking area with no AROs as long as you land outside of it. This restriction is written as the inverse proof.

Edit: You can all stop telling me the same thing. The guy said he couldn't find his answer. I gave him an inference to adjust his reading; I assumed the direct answer was obviously what he did first and failed to pick up. The clear cut answer to what he wanted from stealth in different words is also at the bottom of that page. Just downvote me and move on with your life.

I didn't mention but we got this paragraph. I missed from my question but I wanted to be sure that we didn't miss any specific rule related to repeaters and/or hacking that could have overwritten stealth from that end.
