Enemy exhaustion during the enemy phase is a strange rule. I think it was first introduced as a means of helping you keep track of which enemies had attacked and which had yet to do so. But enemies don’t attack very often, so the rule isn’t all that relevant. There are a few ways to take advantage of enemy exhaustion after attack (Delilah O’Rourke’s lighting bolt ability is one example), but for the most part the exhaustion isn’t important at all. For instance, the enemy does not disengage after attacking, so it’s not like you can change who it is engaged with or anything.
You're absolutely right. Manipulating enemy exhaustion and readiness with an evade can be a crucial strategy. But enemy exhaustion after an attack is...situational at best. I think that's partly why it keeps coming up.
You are right. But ,as new player, for me it was a practical clue that enemy attack one time only for phase. I know it sounds super easy right now but wasnt FOR ME on the begginig.
didn't realize that leaving the room w an enemy engaged means they follow you to the other room - we've definitely been playing that wrong with just eating an attack of opp but assuming the enemy stays behind (which thematically is a bit nonsensical). appreciate the clarification
Glad it was helpful! Our group definitely got several rules like this wrong for a long time. It's a lot to keep track of. Which is whey we started this video series.
Hey I want to let you know that you ARE allowed to let other players know you have a Hidden card in your hand. You're just not allowed to give any indication to the other players as to what the card is.
Great video. I have a constructive criticism: your filler word, uh, is a little bit too distracting. I know it'll be hard as I feel like it has become a habit for you (there were times that you didn't need to say your filler word but it sneaked in as you finish your sentence), but being aware that you are saying it and actively eliminating the filler word does a lot in making your video smoother.
Thank you for these Arkham Horror LCG clarification guides. I hope to see more in the future.

Enemy ai is for sure a learning curve, but after playing gloomhaven, arkhams enemy ai is so easy
Wait, you can trigger an action on someone else's encounter card as long as you are in the same space?
Yep
