Question

When you defeat the first stage of a villain with Retaliate (using an attack), does the Retaliate trigger? Retaliate says “The character must survive the attack to deal this damage.” and I’m not sure how that interacts with Villain Stages.

Answer

If the new villain stage that entered play as the result of your attack has retaliate, then you must resolve it.
