Question

For Starshark and Sandman where there attacks deal indirect damage, if they damage multiple characters, which of those characters are considered to have been attacked (for instance for triggering Retaliate, or Drax’s response)? Is it just the character that defends the attack/or hero if undefended? Or is it every character that is damaged by the attack?

Answer

We rule that only the character that defended the attack (or the identity initiated against if the attack was undefended) would be considered “attacked” for the purposes of triggering Retaliate or other similar effects. Dividing the indirect damage does not result in all damaged characters being “attacked.”
