Question

I had a couple questions. 1.In RRG 1.7 on page 14 under Cost arrow icon →, does “Responses” refer specifically to the bold Response: triggered ability or is it more general to include things like the Quickstrike keyword? I wanted to make sure I understand that if I play “Come get me, bub!” and while paying the cost I discard a minion with quickstrike, that minion will attack me before I heal 3 damage and or get a tough status card, is that correct?
2.Page 6 under Activation. Does “All abilities “triggered” by the initial activation resolve before subsequent activations initiate.” refer specifically to bold triggered abilities or is it more general to include things like the Retaliate keyword? I wanted to make sure that if an attack is initiated during an attack, I should finish the first attack including all responses and keywords before resolving the next attack.

Answer

In both cases, any abilities triggered as a result of the triggering condition resolve right away, whether or not they have a bold triggered ability text. When you play “Come Get Me, Bub!”, engaging a minion with Quickstrike will trigger its attack immediately, before you heal 3 and get a Tough status card. When a new attack would initiate in the middle of an ongoing attack, all abilities triggered by the ongoing attack resolve first, before the new attack initiates; this includes Response abilities and the Retaliate keyword.
