occult research

[firbison]

I know this card isn't out yet but the question is actually about the wording of the condition stagger. If I activate Red Skull, Master of Hydra and attack to get the energy needed to play occult research does my next action have to go to remove stagger or would i be able to pass it off with an attack using Baron Struckers leadership ability?

Occult research has to be played during the Power Phase, so it can’t be used mid activation like this.

That being said, if you gain a stagger mid activation through other means, no, you don’t have to use a shake to clear it.
