Doom-Team Ability how do i use it???

[White_Queen]

Okay... heres my team..
E-Doc Oc
V-Doombot
R-Ultron
R-Vulture
R-Yellow Jacket
U-Desaad
R-SHIELD Agent
R-Hydra Op

Now since the doombot has the wildcard ability.. it can use anyone's team ability. Can i use the team ability to mimic both the hydra and the SHIELD Agent team ability to add a click of damage and +1 attack value at the same time? It says you can mimic more than one power at a time... but i'm not sure.
And how many action tokens would that be, 1 or 2?

It's been ruled that you can't use Hydra and SHIELD at the same time but if you could, it would only be 1 token as Hydra doesn't cost.

I don't see why Hydra and SHIELD can't be used though... Hydra boosts Attack before the roll and SHIELD boosts the damage after it hits. Perplex can't boost Energy Explosion because it's before the roll and SHIELD can because it's after - doesn't that mean Hydra and SHIELD don't work at the same time?

The reason you can't use both Hydra and SHIELD ability is, the SHIELD ability has to be declared before you roll and requires a token whether or not you hit. The Hydra ability aids the roll itself. So if you use the SHIELD ability, then try to switch to the Hydra ability, you lose the SHIELD damage bonus.

You are correct about the timing of Perplex and Energy Explosion. You would Perplex up the damage, then EE says you reduce the damage to 1 which means you've lost the effects of Perplex. SHIELD works because you declare it before the attack, EE reduces the damage to 1, and the SHIELD ability increases that damage after it hits.
