Question

I was hoping to gain a little bit more clarity on the SWAP action for both the Thunderbolts and Loki Scenario. Thunderbolts Scenario 1) Is it correct to say that this scenario swaps two in-play minions? That is to say, there was no point where any of the thunderbolt minions left play during the swap process? In the v1.6 RRG there is less language to explicitly outline what steps should be taken for an in-play swap. 2) Should I swap just the minion cards? Or should I swap the minion cards AND their respective tokens, status cards, and attachments? Loki 3) For Loki we are told to swap Loki with a random set-aside Loki villain. Swap currently states we only retain tokens, attachments, and status cards. Should Loki retain the same hitpoint during the swap process? Damage on an identity or villain is tracked by a hit point dial rather than tokens.

Answer

Yes, the Thunderbolts scenario swaps two in-play minions, and neither of those minions leave play. Each minion retains the tokens, statuses, and attachments on them when they swap. And yes, when Loki swaps, he retains the same hit point dial.
