Question

Question regarding Counterpunch and Sonic Converter. When does the trigger for Counterpunch occur during the Villain attacks sequence. I’ve had some people play it after they exhaust to defend, and some wait until the full attack is completed. If it’s at the end of the entire attack, does it trigger before or after Sonic Converter (Klaw)?

Answer

Both cards share the same timing: “after attacks” & “after defends” both resolve immediately after the attack resolves. However, Sonic Converter is a Forced Response which takes priority over a regular Response because it is not a choice. So you would be stunned before you could play Counter Punch.
