I was wondering, if a character has two lightning bolts and can therefore attack two targets, and one shield figure is adjacent to the attacking figure, does that extra click of damage get added on to both targets for 2 clicks each, or is it only added to one for 2 clicks off of one figure, and 1 click off of the other? Thanks

i vote yes.....the mulit range reduces the initial damage to one then other modifiers jump in,...same is true for enhance...i believe

Shield team boost up the damage to multiple targets, then if Ultron with EE and a Shield are together that's a massacre, each damage made will be 2 for each target and 2 for each splash damage, that's a killer combo.

that is correct Richtor , it does boost every ranged attack that the attacker has , so if u have multiple shield boosts it can get even more ugly. the example u gave with now 2 shield agents boosting ultron, now u have 3 base and 3 splash , so therefore u can really hit 2 figures adjacent to each other for 6 each , a really nasty combo. And the more shield members u boost with the worse it gets. as long as u have the actions to use the shield figures with it can be quite devastating.

Y'all are correct.

And if you think it's nasty now, wait until Psylocke comes out and you don't need to burn activations with SHIELD... the game will change a bit then, I would think... :)
