I'm sure it's been asked but I can't find it, so would someone please be so kind as to clarify how this equipment would work with Energy Explosion?



My primary question is would each hit target of a two target Energy Explosion take 2 or 3 damage?

Thanks in advance.

ENERGY EXPLOSION RANGE: Make a ranged attack, and all other characters adjacent to an original target also become targets. Hit characters are dealt 2 damage instead of normal damage.

If you target two characters that are not adjacent those characters (and characters adjacent to them) will be dealt 3 damage (due to 1 to dealt damage from Lightning Ring).

They will take 3 damage minus whatever their powers and abilities allow them reduce.

I believe those should be two non-adjecent characters since any character adjacent to a target "become a target" which means you no longer using two bolts.

Thank you!
