Question

103 – I’m playing as the new Angel hero and wanted to make sure about something. An enemy initiates an attack against me and I play Aerial Agility which is a (defense), can I still exhaust to use my basic DEF power? Same question if an enemy initiates an attack against another player. Secondly if I use his resource card Avian Anatomy to pay for Aerial Agility, does AG return to my hand before the boost card is flipped during that attack?

Answer

  1. Yes, you can do both. Playing a defense event doesn’t prevent you from making a basic defense for the same attack. And yes, you can do both when another player is being attacked. Just note that only one character can be the defender of an attack.
  2. Yes. Aerial Agility creates a lasting effect when it’s played, and if you used Avian Anatomy to pay for it, you will return Aerial Agility to your hand as soon as the lasting effect is created.
