Question
I have a question about Miles’ Venom Blast ability. It is not itself an attack ability, as it lacks the attack tag, so when triggered by “Power Within” it would not count as such. But what about when triggered by “Web Shot”? Since Web Shot is itself an attack, is an enemy damaged by Venom Blast triggered by Web Shot also getting attacked, or is Venom Blast a separate ability, and so the damage is not considered to be ‘attacking’ the target?
Answer
No; Venom Blast is not an attack, and it would not be treated as such even if triggered off an attack event like Web-Shot. (But, Web-Shot is still an attack event, which means an attack was made, if that helps.)
