Question
209 – I got a question re. the Aggression card ‘Suprise Move’ new in Iceman’s hero pack. Can I do the following: Basic Attack an enemy -> my Freeze interrupt to put a Frostbite upgrade on the enemy -> interrupt that basic attack with Surprise Move as its an interrupt with the condition ‘Basic Attack against enemy with upgrade’ and thus, get +2 ATK and can ready when the enemy is defeated? Or is this not possible because at the time I initiate my basic attack and the interrupts should take place the enemy has no upgrade yet? In my opinion it should work as both Interrupts have the same timing window (none is forced) and I give my basic attack interrupt precedence which the evolves into a basic attack against an enemy with Frostbite attached and thus, fullfiling the condition of Surprise Move, since the Basic Attack is not concluded until damage is placed on the enemy.
Answer
Yes, you can. Iceman’s interrupt and Surprise Move’s interrupt trigger in the same window and can be resolved in either order; you are able to attach Frostbite to the attacked enemy before Surprise Move checks if the enemy has an upgrade attached.
