Obsession attacks count as reaction attacks and suffer aim penalties, but they can deal critical damage.
If the obsessed unit has Riposte, they will automatically counter all target's attacks directed at them, if possible.
If Obsession is used while Concealed, the concealment will be broken immediately.
The obsessing unit is able to attack the target only if it can be reached with 2 AP of movement. If the enemy is able to teleport or otherwise possesses superior mobility, they may be able to escape the obsessed unit.
