[One Two Punch Vs Bodyguard]

On 5/15/2022 at 3:02 PM, Thoras said:

You are checking the conditions of the One-Two Punch card when you are playing the card, so the attackers portion of step 2d of the attack.

Once you've played the card, there are no conditions on the dice being added to the attack, so it doesn't change anything if the attack is body-guarded or the defender moves somehow.

As long as the attack is still occurring, you will still add two dice to the attack against the character.

Is this also the case for cards like Usurp the Throne? Or are those dice additions checked at different times?

Usurp doesn't mention targeting so would that addition be taking place in step 4b so bodyguard can negate those additional dice?

[Damage Reduction versus Tactic Card Cost]

Can models like Kingpin, Crossbones, and Juggernaut who can pay to reduce damage taken reduce the damage of tactics cards like No Matter the Cost or Dark Empowerment where they have chosen to take the damage as part of the card's cost?

[Intrusions Open Across City as Seals Collapse]

If a character would attempt to use the portal they drop all objective tokens they may be holding. Who resolves his drop? Is it always your opponent?

[Nothing Stops the Juggernaut versus Kingpin's Solid Frame]

Perfect, thank you.

As a follow up, the clause in Nothing Stops the Juggernaut that says an enemy can only be damaged by this once per turn. If one of the characters that can pay to reduce damage to zero (Kingpin, Crossbones, etc) would take that damage and reduce it does it count as them taking the damage already if you are able to resolve 2 accounts of Nothing Stops... into them?

[Nothing Stops the Juggernaut versus Kingpin's Solid Frame]

Juggernaut spends to use Nothing Stops the Juggernaut, or triggers it off I'm the Juggernaut, and resolves his push towards and stopping at contact with Kingpin. Does Solid Frame mitigate the damage from Nothing Stops the Juggernaut?

[Web Barrier Straight Lines]

1. The straight lines are from any point on the bases of the characters. Essentially the width of the bases involved. 

2. It is not possible to perfectly place the miniature in the manner you are describing. If the placement is close enough to the situation you describe there will be no way to place the movement tool in such a way as to prevent it from crossing the line. The miniature will have to Climb to get out of the barrier in this situation. 

And this climb is always going to be a short movement because the barrier has no size relevant to fliers or wall crawlers?

Also, characters with attacks that ignore LOS can still use those attacks from inside this barrier correct?

[Ronan + The Accused + Reactive Superpowers]

Based off this ruling, does that also mean there is no window for say Dormammu to use Feel the Power of Darkness if attacked by Ronan using The Accused?

[The Grand Illusion & Recalibration Matrix]

The modification done by The Grand Illusion happens during step 9 of the timing chart (Appendix A). Recalibration Matrix happens after step 9 so any newly rolled Critical results will remain Criticals and not be changed to Failures.

So does Recalibration Matrix not "reset" the roll? Those newly rolled crits won't pop because they were re-rolled right?

Just based on the reading of Grand Illusion, it feels like Recalibration Matrix is granting a new attack roll which would be covered under the umbrella of "until the cleanup phase, when an enemy within 3 makes an attack, defense, or dodge roll". Is the card worded wrong?
