Gong of War

[Croonos 1]

Can we use Gong of War to summon a character from CoC space?

Can You provide game text of the card? You know, not everyone have Highland yet.

 No.  That card does say that it must be a character in the same region.

What if you're on the Inner Region yourself?

You can't draw Gong of War in the Inner Region. It's a Place card.

But does it really say that you can summon a Character from the region you're in, or a Character in any region? And most important: is the Character just summoned for the combat (like the Arena card) or is brought to that space "physically"?

Since this is a one use only card, better dispose of it  with Destruction or similar, if you're heading for the Crown!

Ah, okay.

Wait, what's the difference? Arena card says to "Place the character on this space..." (referring to the summoned character), that is bringing them to the space "physically, no?

I forgot the text is the same for both cards, perhaps because Arena summons a Character in the same region (Outer or Middle) and this has never been  relevant when it happened. Gong of War can summon a Character to the Highland (because it's a Highland deck place card) from any Region, I believe including the Inner Region...so definitely an effective card to stop rushing Characters.

So it looks balanced, there are items which helps you encounter CoC quite easy (Cloak of featherness or Arnkell) but then you can be suddenly take out when someone bang a gong! Yeah

Gong of War = “PLACE. You may summon 1 character from any Region to fight. Place the character on this space and attack him as if you had encountered him (by battle, or by psychic combat if you are permitted). Once the Gong has been used, it crumbles to the discard pile."

 

It’s a CoC puller... However, it does appear to be a pulling to fight. The way I read the above, you can’t steal with the Thief, trade with the merchant… it has to be a fight.
