Ok, so in the FAQ there is the Transitive property of Defend that says:

ABC

A has defense of 18 and defend
B has defense of 17 and defend
C has defense of 16 and no defend.

A can give the 18 to B who can then give it to C.

My question is could you be sneaky about this.... Have E Iceman on the defenders fly invisible girl into stealth, but putting Iceman next to E Hulk who is next to E Beast...

A is Beast
B is Hulk
C is Iceman
D is Invisble girl

ABCD

Would A still get invisible girl's 18 defense?

(Ok, so I'm complicated, but I like finding neat tricks to pull on my opponents... like using a wild card ability with this tactic to boost lots of defense)

Yep they all get 18 defense.

Wow, you're fast Manchine

Hmm, that'd be a neat way to make a lined wall of 18 defenses.... muhahaha...ahem.

Thanks.

You think THAT's bad, pair Inv Girl up with Dr. Strange's Energy Shield/Deflection and slap him in hindering terrain. You need to roll 21 to hit him from range.

Unless you are Doom, Mandarin, Ultron, or Thanos, GOOD LUCK.
