I got the new gravity feed joker from the batman set yesterday and want to build a batman enemy team with him and harley. I want to make sure i understand his trait right:
-
HARLEY'S MY GIRL: If a friendly Harley Quinn took damage from an attack since your last turn, you may give The Joker a free action. If you do, place The Joker adjacent to a character that caused Harley Quinn to take damage and target that character with a close combat attack. Harley Quinn is dealt one unavoidable damage. If Harley was KO'ed during your opponent's last turn, The Joker's attack value becomes 12 until the end of your turn.

my question is in my understanding of mastermind's line: Mastermind is not an attack.

Does this mean I can't mastermind on to Harley to trigger his trait??
i believe this to be correct but contradicts the intention of the ability

If mastermind is not an attack, then it would not trigger the trait!

So, no, you cant mastermind from Joker to Harley and get the bonus.

what he said /\ /\ .

The Joker a free action. If you do, place The Joker adjacent to a character that caused Harley Quinn to take damage and target that character with a close joker cannot target himself with this

To me this is the intention. "only Joker can abuse Harley". If anyone else does, he gets jealous.

This is how I interpreted it too.

Run two GF Jokers and a bunch of Harleys, and just send in the Harleys to get beat up...the Jokers can come in to deal up to 12 penetrating damage that turn. With 11 or 12 attack and their own Probs, the Jokers likely won't miss. Gross!

Not Really. The damage wouldn't be penetrating. He can't use exploit weakness with the "Harley's my Girl" power. He's only granted a close combat attack and he would need to have been granted a close combat ACTION to trigger Exploit Weakness.

Look at origamiman, getting a rule right!

Wait, so you're not limited to one joker using that power? And you can follow up that free attack with an actual attack, yes?

Correct. A Joker swarm can all trigger off of one Harley strike. And as its a free action, they could follow up.

If Harley died, they keep that 12 for the second attack as well, and can loan it out if a friendly character has Batman Enemy TA for them to copy.

Imagine: 5 Jokers. A Harley. And a Flock of Bats.

FoB KO Harley. And Jokers have a bunch of useless free attacks.

I would laugh!

Well, 6 regular and 6 penetrating is still a deal. Positioning is key. Plus, options if more than one character hits a Harley.
