Hi. This came up in a game last night and we weren't exactly sure of the answer. Searched around but couldn't find anything, so apologies if a answer exists. Enkidu is in combat with Obsidian. Obsidian has a Razor Bat. Can Enkidu target the Razor Bat on Obsidian with an Earthshock? (at long range, of course) We weren't sure as Earthshock specifies 'Not usable *against a minion* with flight' - as opposed to 'not usable in combat with a minion with flight'. Thanks in advance. Earthshock [KMW:C] [pot] Strike: strength ranged damage. This strike cannot be dodged. Not usable against a minion with flight [FLIGHT]. [POT] As above, but for strength+1 ranged damage. 6.4.7. Retainers and Combat ...an attacker can choose to target one of the opposing minion's retainers with a strike rather than striking at the opposing minion... ...To target a retainer with a ranged strike, the striking minion must announce his intended target when the strike is announced...

The bat is not a minion. (Nor does it technically have flight, in game terms).
