Question
162 – I was playing a game last night and we got tripped up on the forced interrupt ability on the ringing side of venom’s bell tower environment card. Venom attacked me and I defended with an ally and his attack had overkill. I’m not sure when and or if his tower triggers here?
Answer
Because overkill damage is considered damage “from an attack,” chime counters will be removed from Bell Tower, equal to however much overkill damage would be dealt to the identity. For instance, if Venom’s ATK is 5, his attack has overkill, and he damages an ally with 3 HP remaining, 2 damage would be dealt by overkill to the identity, meaning 2 chime counters will be removed from Bell Tower (if there are 2 or more chime counters there) and the identity can prevent damage dealt to them equal to the chime counters removed (2).
