Angelic assassin|paint the town red|frenzy and Eye in the Sky

[The-Calf]

Hello all,

For abilities such Angelic assassin, paint the town red, and frenzy they give a movement and then attack. If you target an enemy character with the mentioned abilities and they use "Eye in the Sky" to get out of range, would that ability be refunded? If so would the move and then attack occur again or just targeting another character with an attack?

 

Thank you!

The ability will not be refunded. It was used and interrupted. 

Given that these abilities are restricted to triggering with the character’s activation, Eye in the Sky (and similar abilities) will grant the attacking character another action this activation if no other character was targeted by the attack when they force the attack to end.

To clarify, when you say action. Do you mean I could target another character with "Angelic Assassin" attack?.

Or does the ability allow me to move again and target another character since it was interrupted? 

I'm curious because I was told since Angelic assassin does not say attack action, the interruption essentially cancels the attack from angelic assassin and end of story, end of turn (because it was used after the 2nd attack action).

This is incorrect. 

During an activation, characters have two actions. These are used to move, attack, shake, or use certain superpowers that require an action. 

When the attack from one of the superpowers mentioned above (like Angelic Assassin) is interrupted and ended by another effect (like Trickster or the Eye in the Sky Team Tactic Card), the attacking character gets a third action in their activation. 

This action may be used to make the actions listed above.

This is where my confusion lies: I already used 2 attacks to move, attack, etc etc. On the second attack action I attack and daze/ko and use "Angelic Assassin" and so I move and target a character for an attack. My opponent uses Eye in the Sky, and gets out of range.

Do I now get to pick another character to resolve Angelic Assassin?

Or are you saying, Eye in the Sky gives me essentially a "third action" which now I can move, attack, etc etc freely similarly like the 2 actions per turn limit?

Yes. This is how it works.

Thank you for that!

 

Getting a 3rd action, does that also mean I could angelic assassin again? or is it lost due to it being interrupted and can only be used once per turn?

Angelic Assassin is once per turn. It was already used. It cannot be used again.
