Question

From previous rulings about Miles we know that if an (attack) ability tells us to resolve a second ability, that second ability is not considered an attack. Storm gives us that same interaction (Lightning Bolt + Thunderstorm) as well as a similar thwarting one (Torrential Rain + Hurricane). We also have learned that Storm is considered to have performed the Special Ability on her weather support when one of her abilities triggers it. (1) I’d like to confirm that the same principle applies to Torrential Rain and Hurricane- although Torrential rain is considered a thwart, is the Hurricane Special it causes considered a thwart? (2) If I attack an enemy with Lightning Bolt, and that enemy is defeated by the Special ability of Thunderstorm, can I play Chase Them Down? (“Response: After your hero attacks and defeats an enemy…”) (3) If I thwart a scheme with Torrential Rain, and the last threat on that scheme is removed by the Special ability of Torrential Rain, can I play Turn the Tide? (“Response: After your hero thwarts and removes all threat from a scheme…”)
