Labels and Traits describe game features and particularities of both Skills and weaponry and Equipment.

== Labels ==

Labels describe a series of defining aspects of Skills, weapons, and pieces of Equipment for a quick reference. They are the following:

=== Airborne Deployment (AD) === 
This label encompasses all the Skills that are related to Airborne Infantry. Any rule mentioning Airborne Deployment will affect all the Skills that have this Label. 
 
=== Attack === 
The use of this Special Skill or piece of Equipment is considered an Attack. Remember that '''you cannot declare attacks against allies or [[Neutral]]''' elements, whether represented by Models or Markers.

=== Attack Tactic ===
This is an aggressive Tactic.

=== Assignable (W)===
{{n4annex}}
When deploying its owner during the Deployment Phase, and '''only''' then, this weapon or piece of Equipment can be assigned to Troopers who possess the Transmutation (W) Special Skill, and are present on the game table as a Model (excluding Troopers using Airborne Deployment, Hidden Deployment, Impersonation State, etc.).

A Trooper possessing the Transmutation (W) Special Skill cannot receive more than one weapon or piece of Equipment of the same type with the Assignable Label.

Weapons and pieces of Equipment with the Assignable Label must be placed and remain in base contact with their '''user''', the assigned Trooper, moving along with them.

These weapons and pieces of Equipment are considered a Game State Token rather than a Model.
