Valkyrie: A question about Valkyrie Ii Marvel Champions: How the card Shieldmaiden works? What is “declare as…

• To be a bit transparent, Shieldmaiden was written during a time when Defense events had different rules in the game, so Shieldmaiden not being a Defense event was appropriate during its development.
• With current Marvel Champions rules, this is how you should resolve playing Shieldmaiden: When the enemy with Death-Glow attached initiates an attack, play Shieldmaiden to have Valkyrie be the “defender” of that attack. She will not exhaust, and she will get +2 DEF in addition to her base 1 DEF and any modifiers she has to her DEF while she defends against the attack. She will also be considered to have “defended” against the attack, opening up some combo possibilities.
