Ok, to throw a bit of fuel to the fire.

Say I declare a Ranged action with Deadshot. I haven't decided on a target. My opponent says Bats TA on his WC.

This is legal.

Say I declare a Ranged action with Deadshot targeting said WC. My opponent says Bats TA on said WC.

This is illegal, due to my already calling out the specific WC.

Are both of those correct?

You can't declare a ranged combat action with out naming a target (unless you are using PW, of course).

This is NOT legal.

I guess I'm asking the timing. Say I have two figures. One with Charge the other is Deadshot. My opponent can WC to either Mystics or Bats.

Now if I decide to charge first at the time I declare that action he chooses Mystics. Now I declare an Action with Deadshot, haven't said what it is just that I'm going to use him. At that moment can he declare Batman, since it is the start of an action?


The way it sounds, so long as a Ranged action/Attack is declared then an opponent is unable to switch to Batman if it would cause me to select a different target(ie making OW or my attack illegal)

No. As I stated above, when you declare the ranged combat action (to activate Psychic Blast, EE, make a regular ranaged combat attack, whatever), that is also when you choose your target.

If the target chosen is a wild card, switching to Batman would make the declared action illegal. You can't do that.

This is the part where you go wrong. You can't just declare an action without saying what the action is.

1st player move batman, WildCard Z copy Batman TA
1st player move WildCard Z while it copy brothhood TA.

No other action is given by 1st player and said WC copying Batman TA at the end of the 1st player turn.
no action declared

1st player said WC are copying Batman TA before the began of 2nd player turn.
no action declared


1st player said WC are copying Batman TA at the began of 2nd player turn.
no action declared

2nd player declared action, 1st player said WC copying Batman TA.
2nd player Target with Ranger combat attack on Wild Card Z. Now Wild Card Z cannot copy Batman TA(due to rule). Any other 1st player WC can copy batman TA.

Both of those are fine.

None of that is legal. A wild card can only change a team ability in response to a declare action. Since no action is declared at any of those points, a wild card cannot change the team ability it is copying.

You have to be more explict about what action the second player is declaring.

If you mean that the second player declares a ranged combat action against wild card Z then you are correct.

That line you have bolded and underlined doesn't mean that the wildcard can scroll through Team Abilities it has previously used, it means that you can wildcard to Batman to prevent your wildcard from being targeted by ranged attacks, it would just have to be on an action before the ranged combat attack targeting your wildcard. Your wildcard also must not have switched which TA it is using between then and now.

The ONLY time you can switch TAs is at the declaration of an action, and only if it doesn't make said action illegal.
