⚠ This ruling is from an older rules version (Hall of Heroes (rules 1.0–1.4)) and might be outdated.

Question

Some questions. 1.Can you choose to change energy or mass form with cards like “Threat or menace” from the down to earth encounter set? Or do effects like that mean specifically Hero, Alter-Ego forms? 2.If your resolving a villain attack activation and a minion comes into play from a boost ability (weapons runner) and has quick strike(the mojo files),how do you handle this situation? 3. Does the upgrade you choose need to have been exhausted for you to draw a card with the ability on the spider-man (Otto octavius) basic ally?

Answer

1. Yes; unless specified by the ability text, “you may change form” means you may change Energy form, Mass form, or Hero/Alter-Ego form.

2. If a minion enters play from a boost ability and has Quickstrike, the minion will interrupt the villain’s attack to make its own attack (you’d pause Step 3 of the villain’s attack). Once the minion’s attack finishes, you’d continue resolving the villain’s attack (Steps 3-4).

3. Yes, the upgrade you target with Spider-Man: Otto Octavius’ Response ability must be exhausted if you want to draw 1 card.
