Question

53 – 1.Does “Defeated” and “Leaves play” share the same timing point? Example, if a minion had both the psionic shield and biomechanical upgrades attachments attached to it and was dealt enough damage to defeat it, would one trigger before the other? 2.Would a minion with quickstrike attack you after the psionic shield triggers? 3.If the death glow upgrade is in your discard pile or other any other area during the game,can Brunhilde set it aside with her “not this day” action, even though she can’t detach it?

Answer

  • Yes; Biomechanical Upgrades will trigger before Psionic Shield does, healing the minion and discarding itself. Psionic Shield will stay attached in this case.
  • No; Psionic Shield does not cause the minion to leave play, so it does not re-engage you. (We understand the wording of the card is misleading, and we apologize for that.)
  • Yes; Brunnhilde’s Alter-Ego Action can set Death-Glow aside while it’s in her discard pile. Detaching Death-Glow is not a “cost” of the ability, so it’s not required to detach first.
