⚠ This ruling is from an older rules version (Hall of Heroes (rules 1.0–1.4)) and might be outdated.

Question

If I’m player 2, playing Storm, and player 1 is attacked, can I use Powerful Punch to interrupt the attack so that the villain is attacking me, and then play Flash Freeze to reduce his ATK by 3?

Answer

No; the timing point for “When the villain attacks you” Interrupt abilities is the point in which the villain determines it’s activating against you. You cannot use Flash Freeze if you’re not the player the villain is activating against (regardless of if you become defender of that attack).
