Revealing Evil Elder, when?

[MoonSylver]

When discussing the Revealing of Elder's Secrets, it is important to note the Mode of Play, as they function differently in Co-op/Solo than they do in Competitive. Here is the pertanant info from the rules for Co-Op (which would apply to Solo as well for the most part):

Quote:Also, any time a player looks at a Town Elder’s Secrets, reveal them for all to see. Note that this does
NOT apply to cards or abilities that specifically say, “without revealing”. When a Town Elder is killed, move the Shadow Track as normal and then reveal all of that Elder’s Secrets. Any Keyword Evil Secrets they have immediately take effect, turning them into an Evil Elder instead.

Some Secrets are listed as Reveal Immediately. This is very much like ‘Play Immediately’, only whenever a player investigates the Town Elder and looks at this Secret, it must be immediately revealed and read aloud. These Secrets usually involve placing the marker for the Town Elder onto the board or having the Town Elder actually join a Hero temporarily. Reveal Immediately cards do NOT have to be revealed if the Hero is using a specific card or ability that says “without revealing”, though you may reveal the card if you wish.

So, in short, in these modes of play, if you Investigate as normal, use a card/effect that DOES NOT specify "without revealing", or the Elder is killed, the "Reveal Immediately" Secrets (such as "Darkest Secret") immediately take effect. If you have a card/ability that lets you look "without revealing" you've dodged the bullet, kept their duplicity quiet & kept them from running off to joing their Master! Good Job!

Also, yes, accusations only factor into Competitive & serve no use in othe modes of play.
