Question

I have a question about the “assault” keyword: lets say X-23 (the hero) has 2 THW and 3ATK she makes a basic thwart on a side-scheme with the “assault” keyword Can she use “Animal Instinct” ? Does she remove 3 or 6 threats ?

Answer

Though X-23 wouldn’t be prevented from playing Animal Instinct when thwarting a scheme with Assault, the additional THW wouldn’t have any effect on her removed threat, because Assault uses her ATK when determining how much threat to remove. Her ATK remains at 3 during this thwart, so she removes 3 threat.
