8 – I’m playing as the Adam Warlock hero and he is Confused. Can I trigger the Overwatch upgrade after…

1. No. Even though Adam Warlock is able to remove 3 threat with Cosmic Awareness while Confused (because doing so is part of the ability’s “cost”), the rules for discarding Confused state that upon removing Confused, “the character is not considered to have thwarted or schemed.” This means that Adam could not trigger Overwatch if he plays Cosmic Awareness while Confused, as he is not considered to have “thwarted.”
2. No; same line of thinking as above: Adam is not considered to have “attacked” upon playing Karmic Blast and removing Stunned, so he can’t play Chase Them Down as a response.

We the team agreed that these rulings follow both the rules of the ability costs in Adam’s events, and the rules for discarding status cards.
