Question

67 – 1) Can you explain how Informant interacts with Stealth Suit? 2) Can you explain how Serve and Protect interacts with Stealth Suit when used on a villain activation? 3) Will you exhaust to make a basic attack or for Go All Out’s cost before Break Cover triggers?

Answer

  1. Informant modifies the targeted minion activation, meaning an activation still occurs, allowing 1 threat to be placed on Stealth suit form.
  2. The threat placed on Stealth suit form is never placed on the main scheme, so even though Serve and Protect interrupts the placing of threat on the main scheme, the ability on Stealth suit form is separate from this and still allows 1 threat to be placed on itself.
  3. In either case, yes, you exhaust before you trigger Break Cover. If you look under 1.6’s “Initiating Abilities,” you exhaust during Step 5 as a “cost” to initiate the ability, then trigger Break Cover during Step 6 as an interrupt.
