The question is, can it target an Animated weapon?
And for the record, the answer is YES. Yes, it can.
A few things about the Animated weapon.
1) Any attack buffs the weapon has received also get transferred to the Crusader.
2) In the event that Antimatter has already been played on the target Animated Weapon, Crusader gains the absolute value of the attack value.
3) Crusader does NOT gain a passive Airborne skill as well.
4) In the case of Vampire Dagger, if an Eclipse has been played, the bonus with Eclipse is transferred as well (Dagger starts with 6 attack, gains +2 from Eclipse, Crusader gains 8 attack)
5) When frozen/delayed, a Crusader with Regenerate will still heal for 5 damage at the end of each turn.
That's all I have
