Question

If the basic ally Melinda May defends and survives an attack, is it considered as a basic defense? Can she trigger her response considering this was a basic defense ?

Answer

No. Because allies don’t have a DEF stat, they aren’t considered to “use a basic power” when they defend attacks. Melinda May must use her THW or ATK for a game function in order to trigger her ability.
