If the creature is an illegal target when Arbalest Elite's ability tries to resolve, the ability won't resolve and none of its effects will happen. Arbalest Elite will untap during its controller's next untap step.
Random a card of Magic: The Gathering (MTG), but you can also roll the D20 dice, random a Planeswalker, have fun with the random rules and more.

: Arbalest Elite deals 3 damage to target attacking or blocking creature. Arbalest Elite doesn’t untap during your next untap step.
