Power Cosmic Team ability...

[BrianG]

A character with power cosmic is attacked by Psychic Blast or Exploit Weakness or Outwit what would the results of such an attack?

Power Cosmic ™ Characters using the Power Cosmic team ability do not take pushing damage and their powers can’t be countered. This team ability can’t be used by wild cards or be countered.

Thanks

Outwit has no effect, as the powers cannot be countered.

Exploit and Psy-blast both deal penetrating damage with has nothing to do with powers on the dial (until some special power changes that), and so the character would take the full damage from those attacks when successfully hit.

Hope this helps.

they would take damage from Psychic Blast and Exploit Weakness. Both of these powers do Penetrating Damage which Ignores powers that reduce damage, but does not counter them.

Outwit would not work due to the fact they can't have their powers countered, Outwit counters powers and abilities. Characters can have their abilities, i.e. Flight, Carry, as Power Cosmic only stops powers and the Power Cosmic team ability from being countered.

Actually, as I understand it, Outwit would work against abilities like Carry, Flight, etc., since Power Cosmic specifically states that powers and the team ability itself cannot be countered, but does not address the rules change that allows the abilities printed on the base to be outwitted.

This is correct.

Correct.
I had a lot of fun when my Skrull team faced a Fortituded Superman Prime - by Outwitting his Indomitable I forced him to stay in one place long enough for Yellowjacket to get a hit in. :)

Brilliant!!

I'm stealing this idea

Whoops. Sorry about not being more specific.

When Brian mentioned "being attacked" by Outwit, I just thought about the effect on defensive powers and such.

Thanks all for the clarification.


Also, I once outwitted the Sentry's flight to Force Blast him off a roof. It was worth it!
