Commandos climb

[Corbinus]

Can everyone as a move action climb? So what's the point of the ability to climb in the Commando unit?

When an ability grants a character a specific type of movement, such as an Advance or Dash, you are unable to perform a different movement type. I.E. If a rule allows a character to Dash, they have to follow all of the rules for Dashing (for this comparison, the main thing to consider is that you can't go up in elevation).

Scale however allows you to switch an Advance or Dash to a Climb, meaning they would then be able to go up in elevation.

Say a character with scale gets a full move (not a movement action) and they want to end at a higher elevation, which movement tool can they use?

They would need to Climb to do that. That requires the Dash Tool.

If you use Defensive Maneuvers with the Commandos and Scale to go up a piece of terrain, do you still gain the hunker token?

At least one character in the unit must actually Dash to gain the Hunker token
