What it buys

Long sightlines favour ranged damage here, and the plant is the one moment the attack stands still.

Do not use it when Elbow is not a position you survive being seen in — throw and leave.

Recall test

Without looking: from A Elbow, where does this deny plant land?

Answer first, then reveal — recalling is the part that transfers to a round.
