Question

Hey guys, new hulk hero pack Can you use a basic thwart power of 0 with Hulk? Maybe to clear confused status or other effects? Or does his zero thwart not change the game state and can’t be used? Does reducing the cost to zero with “crushing blow” still allow you to play it with no physical resources being used? With “unstoppable force” if you reduce it to zero you don’t get to draw a card correct?

Answer

To answer your questions, in order:

You can thwart with Hulk’s 0 THW. The game state rule only applies to abilities and not to character powers (ATK, THW, DEF, REC).
Yes, if you can reduce Crushing Blow’s cost to 0 (such as through Helicarrier), you can play Crushing Blow without spending the physical resource.
Yes, if you reduce the cost of Unstoppable Force to 0, you did not pay for it using a physical resource and, subsequently, do not draw 1 card from its second effect.
