Question

When exactly is the Fearless Determination side scheme discarded after its defeated? (Amplify icon) -Does Teddy Altman’s ability prevent me from playing a second shape shift upgrade? (Or discard down to 1) -If I defeat an enemy with the first sentence of Armored Defense, does the second sentence still resolve and give hulking a tough status card? -With Caps Shield, if I attack a minion with my hero using my ATK and that attack has overkill and I damage Captain America, does that trigger the response on the Shield? (Wondering if the shield is asking if I attacked someone and damaged Captain America or specifically attacked Captain America and damaged Captain America which is the most intuitive way but I’ve heard that this might not be the case.) –
Similar question as above. With the Captain Marvel Leaders forced response, if her attack against an ally had overkill and she defeated a hero that way, would she trigger twice and get 2 energy counters? ( I would think she only attacked and defeated the ally and the hero just happened to be defeated as well but there’s some discussion from the community around this) –
Can I count the number of cards left in the encounter deck to get that information? (Without looking at the faces) -Can I count the number of cards left in a player deck to get that information? (without looking at the faces) -If the answer is no for the 2 questions above, can I count them with my eyes closed? (Orange backs) (Blue backs) -Can I use mod sets from one side with a Leader from the other side in co-op mode?

Answer

When Fearless Determination is defeated, it is considered in play until its When Defeated ability is resolved. This means that its amplify icon will be in effect when Captain America activates.
Yes, Teddy Altman’s constant ability prevents the player from playing another Shapeshift upgrade while they already have one in play. His ability does not allow the player to play a second and discard down.
Yes, if Armored Defense defeats the attacking minion, Hulkling still gets a Tough status card.
Yes; if you use your ATK (e.g. basic attack) and deal damage to Captain America via overkill, you would trigger the Forced Response on Cap’s Shield.
Yes; if Captain Marvel attacks with overkill and defeats an ally and identity, her Forced Response triggers twice to place 2 total energy counters.
Yes, you can count the total number of cards left in a deck, as long as you do not change their order or look at their facedown sides.
No, you cannot use Registration modular sets with a Resistance leader, nor vice versa.
