The "Questing Tendrils" hive fleet adaptation for Hive Fleet Kraken says that if a unit charged this turn, add +1 to the AP value of weapons they use in the fight phase. I saw a youtube vid of a battle report where they were utilising the rule also if a unit had been charged rather than made the charge. Wondering if this is an FAQ that allows the bonus to apply if the unit either charges or is charged by an opponent, and if it is, could someone put a link in for the relevant FAQ please.

There’s no FAQ for this Codex yet.

YouTubers have been known to play things wrong.

Yeah, they played this wrong. Some rules do say "if the unit made a charge move, was charged or heroically interevened" for example, but the Kraken trait simply says if the unit made a charge move.

I kinda get the feeling they were playing Behemoth hive fleet before trying out Kraken. Behemoth model's strength goes up if they charge, were charged or performed a heroic intervention, where as the +1AP for Kraken is only when they are on the charge.
