Question

I have some questions to consult with you. 1.I noticed that Leadership Skill are written as “when an ally makes a basic thwart or basic attack action…”. Is using basic power an action? Can I use basic power in other players’ turn? 2.I’m playing Tower Defense scenario. What would happen if I defeat M.U.S.I.C. while Manipulated M.U.S.I.C. is in play?

Answer

  1. No. Leadership Skill probably should have been worded differently; when it says “basic thwart or basic attack ‘action’”, the “action” is in reference to a generalized game function. This is different from “Action” abilities, which are triggered abilities that players can perform during other players’ turns by request. Characters cannot perform basic thwarts or basic attacks when it’s not their controller’s turn (unless an ability states otherwise).
  2. In this case, move all threat from Manipulated M.U.S.I.C. to just the main scheme with the Focused Defense attachment. (Since threat is being “moved” from one scheme to another, the number of tokens placed should be fixed; and the player should not be able to split the tokens, so this is the simplest way to progress.)
