Question

204 – I’m playing as Iceman. His Hot-Headed obligation is in play. I play his Arctic Attack event, choosing the top bullet and targeting an enemy with 4 HP. I deal 4 damage to it, do I defeat it right away with that dealt damage or wait and attach a copy of frostbite first? I’m wondering if Hot-headed will trigger after this attack resolves?

Answer

All text in the first bullet of Arctic Attack is simultaneous, meaning the damage is dealt and the Frostbite attaches in the same step, before the enemy is defeated. This triggers the Forced Response on Hot-Headed, so you will take 1 damage.
