    If the Runner loses the psi game from Caprice Nisei while Fumiko Yamamori is rezzed, does the Runner take meat damage before or after the run ends?

    Before. The meat damage from Fumiko Yamamori occurs in the checkpoint right after the reveal. Then, the run is ended.

Reviews

I've been playing around with a Nisei Division: The Next Generation deck since Intervention was released, and I think Fumiko Yamamori (along with Hyoubu Research Facility) really makes it sing.

Fumiko stops runners blindly allowing you to fire the first subroutine on Aiki and gives Marcus Batty and Caprice Nisei plenty of extra bite.

Rezzing this and Hyoubu during a run can really twist things in your favour. Playing as Nisei with this combo, the best possible outcome of winning a Caprice psi game delivers a 2 credit drain for your opponent, 1 credit gain for you, 1 meat damage and an ETR. Not too shabby!

I can't imagine this will see any play out of faction, but it could find a home in plenty of Jinteki decks. It won't win you a game outright, but it's definitely an extra headache for your opponent.

No-one was asking for a boost for Nisei, but I'm glad they've given us one!

Two words, for this lady: Psychic Field. Rez her in the Jackson window, and watch the Runner play for their lives...

More reliable than the Prisec combo, as that one relies on BOTH winning a Psi game and getting lucky with the runner's access order.

Actually a nombo. Fumiko is triggered at the "Reveal spent credits" step of Psychic Field, so her meat damage completes before Psychic Field counts the runner's grip. —
You sure about this? As a corp, don't you choose your own trigger orders? You reveal credits. both Fumiko and Psychic Field happen, and you choose the order. —
I suppose it depends on whether "If you and the Runner spent a different number of credits..." counts as another ability triggered by 'Reveal spent credits'. I think it doesn't, but I could be wrong! —
The wording is kinda weird. I'd say these go as separate triggers in the same moment, so Corp would choose the order. But I've been wrong before. —
It's a moot point, triggers are stacked by the active player IIRC so the Runner stacks the triggers since it's tue Runner's turn when they access the field. —
@LordRandomness, the rule is that players choose the order of their own cards' triggers, but the player whose turn it is has their effects happen first. —
I thought of this a few days ago, along with Chetana, and did some research before making a deck. The FAQ says under Chain Reactions, "If during the resolution of an ability another ability meets its trigger condition, then a “chain reaction” is created. The ability that just met its trigger condition resolves immediately following the active effect on the current ability. If this ability results in another ability meeting its trigger condition, then that ability is also “chained.” Resolve all the abilities from the most recent trigger condition before continuing." So yeah, the meat damage happens first. I'm actually glad about this,as the Psychic Field/Prisec combo is pretty dumb. —
I just realized that I read this incorrectly. I still am not sure though. I think I agree with Toper's original comment. —
The way i'm reading that the triggered condition ability resolves after the effect that triggered it is done —
According to the latest version of the FAQ (ver. 4), this combo works now. Fumiko triggers after Psychic Field! —
