Piper and superior disciplines

Text of Piper: Master. Requires a ready anarch. A ready untapped anarch you control employs or recruits a retainer or ally from your hand (requirements and cost apply as normal). This is not an action and cannot be blocked. Tap that anarch. If Bobby Lemon (an Anarch) uses Piper to recruit a Raptor, can he get the superior version, even though this is not an action?

[ quoted text not captured ] Yes. Card text: "requirements apply as normal".
