220 – If Thanos has one life left on stage one and I attack him to do one damage and he changes to stage 2…

Question

220 – If Thanos has one life left on stage one and I attack him to do one damage and he changes to stage 2 where he now gains his helmet, do I get hit with retaliate? I would assume not since Retaliate states that after you attack an enemy with retaliate you take a damage but I didn’t attack an enemy with retaliate. He gained it later on.

Answer

No, retaliate does not trigger in that instance. Thanos Stage I was the one that took the damage and was defeated by it, Thanos Stage II did not take damage and does not trigger retaliate.
