Question

44 – So I ran into a timing situation that I need help with. The villain with retaliate attacks a hero that has both retaliate and the counterattack upgrade. Damage is dealt and taken by my hero. Counterattack triggers. Does the villain or the hero retaliate first?

Answer

The sequence of events is: villain deals damage -> Counterattack triggers as a response, dealing damage to villain -> villain’s Retaliate triggers as a response -> hero’s Retaliate triggers from villain attack.
