Question

155 – Playing against Kang and he has his temporal shield attachment. There’s 5 minions in play. I play the Dive bomb event card and target one of those minions with the first sentence, dealing 7 damage to it. I target Kang and the other 4 minions with the second sentence. Does Kang protect the other minions when his shield triggers? It’s worded differently then taskmasters reflexes so we’re not sure if “that attack” includes all the damage from the second sentence or just the damage Kang would take. And if anything above is incorrect, please steer us back on track.

Answer

No; Kang’s Temporal Shield attachment only prevents the damage that would be dealt to Kang during an attack. If you play Dive Bomb in the manner described, Kang will only prevent the 1 damage dealt to him, not the damage dealt to other enemies.
