Question
My question is in regards to Attacrobatics. The card’s cost reads that you need to turn a boost card faceup and discard Attacrobatics. Does that mean you can trigger this preparation even if it does 0 damage, for the purposes of triggering a preparation for Black Widow’s ability? Also, what would happen if you used Attacrobatics while Piledriver was using Distracting Taunt. That card reads that players cannot attack other villains. Attacrobatics is an attack. However, could you still use the ability because the cost has been paid, and cancel the boost icons without dealing any damage to another active villain?
Answer
If a card has no boost icons, then you cannot cancel them. Therefore, you cannot trigger Atttacrobatics unless the card has at least one boost icon. I should also point out that the star icon is not a boost icon.
You cannot use Attacrobatics against another villain while Piledriver has Distracting Taunt attached. The entire effect is labeled an attack.
