Does Hawkeye clear his wrath token next turn if he was given no action token from the turn before but "clears" on the next

Quote the effects in question please. I honestly have no idea what tokens you are referring to.

So I am guessing the OP means this....

According to the rules...

A character does not technically have to have action tokens in order to "clear" them.

So I would say that Hawkeye (or whoever else) could remove wrath tokens without actually having to remove action tokens.

Actually I think he's talking about Age of Ultron Hawkeye's Avengers Assemble trait:



Judging by the wording of the quote from the rulebook, I'd think that if Hawkeye's opponent chose the second part (Hawkeye isn't given an action token for this action), he would clear that turn. It may have been ruled otherwise on WES though.

Yes, you do. Clearing is the removing of action tokens. If a character has no tokens, it is not cleared.

The rulebook says otherwise, or at least it leaves it open to interpretation.
