Comprehensive Rules 4.0
When the Free Peoples player assigns one of his characters to skirmish a minion with the keyword “ambush +X” the Shadow player who owns that minion may add X twilight. (See Assignment Phase.)
When a minion with the keyword ambush +X is given the keyword ambush +X by another card or special ability, each of those instances of ambush is resolved separately. When that minion is assigned to a skirmish by the Free Peoples player, the Shadow player has the option to add pool for each instance in the minion’s text.
