⚠ This ruling is from an older rules version (Hall of Heroes (rules 1.5)) and might be outdated.

Question

195 – If I have Determined Defense (Mutant Genesis 189) in play, and I exhaust my Hero to defend an attack, will my DEF reduce the amount of threat Desperate Defense would remove, assuming I trigger it?

Answer

Yes. The damage dealt by the attack is replaced with the removal of threat, and making a basic defense decreases the damage dealt by the attack by the defending character’s DEF.
