    We met a situation when we last play aristeia. My moonchild is standing in a smoked free space, then my opponent's major lunah wants to use the card ricochet to shoot my moonchild.
    ricochet says occupied space doesn't block line of sight to the target, and moonchild's space is truly an occupied space, but there's still smoke on her head. can lunah ignore the smoke in this situation?

    No he can't.

    This Tactic allows you to be behind another Aristo or an obstacle or a blocked space and shoot at your opponent as if you had line of sight if the "blocked space" wasn't blocked.

    However, in your case, smoke rule says "every line of sight to a space with a smoke token is blocked". So in my opinion, Ricochet Tactic doesn't apply to Aristos being into Smoke or being Hidden.

    To be confirmed by others, or by @-V-

    Careful, blocked spaces are not considered "occupied spaces". With ricochet you can shoot through aristos and other elements that "occupy" but not through walls.

    Answering the original question:

    Ricochet says "Occupied spaces do not block LoS", but since your target isn't in LoS because of smoke, it isn't a valid target for the attack.

    Thank you @Neengash you're absolutely right, Blocked spaces are not Occupied spaces, I did a mistake looking at the art of the card lol.
