Question

Can you explain how the cards “Scarlett witch’s crest” and “preemptive strike” can work together if possible?

Answer

Sure—Scarlet Witch’s Crest can increase or decrease the number of boost icons “counted” in a card. This includes when a boost card is turned faceup during a villain activation. It’s possible to then turn up a boost card, exhaust Scarlet Witch’s Crest to treat that card as having +1 boost icon, then use Preemptive Strike to deal +1 additional damage for the boost icon added/canceled.
