Firstly, I did not say that a model is in company but isn't in a company. I said the model is
in the company, but the model is
not the company. A model cannot bpth be the company and be inside it.
In heroic duels, a Hero uses their own fight value, not the highest fight value in their company:
Quote:
Both Heroes roll a D6 and add their relative Fight value.
Epic Strike increases the Hero's fight value to 10:
Quote:
...his Fight value is increased to 10 until the end of the phase
The second hero cannot use the Epic strike because Epic Strike increases his fight value,
not the Fight value of the company.
You are partially confused by this:
Quote:
If the company contains more than one Hero, it uses the the highest Fight value present.
The
it refers to the company, not the hero. Another hero cannot use a fight value in a duel that is not his own. Perhaps explaining this sentence will also help:
Quote:
If a company is led by a Hero in a fight, the company uses his Fight value, rather than its own, to determine its battle-skill combat modifier
Nowhere in that sence does it say that the company uses the fight value in duels, only for combat modifiers. Even if the company did use the fight value for everything, this would not matter because companies cannot take part in duels unless the company itself eg Treebeard is a hero. Heroes that join a company do not turn into the company.
In short, only the Epic hero that called Epic Strike can use it in a duel. The Fight 10 helps the hero that called it in a duel, and it help for battle-skill modifiers, but the Fight value does
not carry into another hero in the company for duels.
