Question on the Harlequins FOC, you need 3 Troops and 2 fast attack and 1 heavy to get the Rising Crescendo abliity, gives fleet and can run and charge in the same turn. Sorry they got a lot of formations and i am getting a bit confused.

There's 3 ways to get Rising Crescendo;

1. Masque Detachment. This requires 3 Troops, 2 Fast Attack, and 1 Heavy Support.
2. Formation Detachment (Cegorach's Jest). This requires a unit of Troupes, a unit of Skyweavers, and a unit of Voidweavers.
3. Formation Detachment (Cegorach's Revenge). Requires whole bunch of stuff... (no reason to get into it).

The point is, it's a detachment special rule. You either take one of the two formations in order to give units in that formation Rising Crescendo, or take a Masque Detachment to give units in that detachment Rising Crescendo. Simply taking the prerequisites for a Masque Detachment is not enough - they actually have to be in that detachment to get the bonus.

For example, if you took a Masque Detachment, then added in a Solitaire, Shadowseer, and Death Jester as a Heroes Path Formation, the Solitaire, Shadowseer, and Death Jester would not have Rising Crescendo, as they were purchased as a Heroes Path Formation, and not part of the Masque Detachment (even though there's room in the detachment for each of them to fit into it).

Yarium thanks for the Info it just gets confusing some times, also first army with alot of Detatchments
