TK Damage and Soaring vs Non Flying Charchters

[BryantClix]

Can someone be damaged by being tk'ed in a wall? (If possible how much damaghe is given)

How much damage is caused by being forceblasted into a wall?


In a recent game Juggernaught and Human Torch were the last charchters left on the board. There were no more objects on the board, and the other guy declared victory on the grounds that Juggernaught could no longer hit his soaring figure. Without getting critical hits could Jugernaught have damaged Human Torch btb?

[Mr. Pilkington]

TK cannot damage a figure in any way other than hitting them with an object. Force Blast can deal knockback damage if the figure being blasted back hits a wall or is knocked off of a building. Hitting a wall causes 1 damage. Falling off of a building causes 2 damage. Both of these can be reduce with Invulnerability or Toughness.

As for your example, R/E/V Juggernaut can *never* hit a soaring figure. He has Battle Fury and cannot be given a ranged combat action. Unique Juggernaut could only hit a soaring figure if he threw an object token. But the player with the soaring figure is not automatically the winner, as the soaring figure cannot attack the grounded Juggernaut either (soaring figures may not attack grounded figures with ranged attacks). At that point you would probably end up tallying victory points. Since one side has a Juggernaut left and the other side only has Human Torch, the Juggernaut team should win assuming that both teams started at the same amount of points. All the soaring won was a stalemate on the board.

As for the critical hits when b2b it doesn't matter. A soaring figure in b2b contact with a grounded figure is not adjacent, and therefore close combat attacks cannot be made. So Juggernaut could never hit the soaring figure at all. But since the soaring figure can't hit Juggernaut back you have a moot point.
