Just in case it is mandatory, please edit in that Cerise is choosing Energy Shield/Deflection this turn.

I know it does, but that doesn't have any bearing on her trait not being optional at all.

"(Special) Red Solid Light Constructs: At the beginning of your turn, choose one: Blades/Claws/Fangs, Empower, or Energy Shield/Deflection. Cerise can use the chosen power until she chooses again."

There is no "may" involved, there's no "give Cerise a free action" clause either. It happens automatically at the start of your turn and "I don't want to pick anything" isn't one of the offered options

Monster Island Turn 6B

Shuma heals 1 click with his Trait.

Full Moon=6
Walt goes to Click 11.

1. Mole Man pushes to move to L-7 and takes a click.

Walt returns to Click 2.

I don't think you have LOF from those positions.

EVA would have to be at N-14 to draw LOF to Shuma; from M-15, the walls block LOF.

Similarly, the wall between O-17 and P-17 blocks LOF from Fantomex to Shuma if he wants to Perplex directly.

The LoF is drawn from EVA in M14 to square R15. (Shuma's bottom left square) You can draw LoF to any square of a multi-base figure, and the rest of that base does not block LoF to or from that square.

From Rulebook Page 16: (Underlines added by me)

ATTACKING AND MULTI-BASE
CHARACTERS
When attacking or drawing a line of fire to or from a multi-base character, the player attacking or drawing the line of fire can choose to attack or draw the line of fire to or from any one square occupied by the multi-base character. When attacking a character on the same elevation, a line of fire to another character will be blocked if it crosses any square occupied by a multi-base character. One square of a multi-base character will not block the line of fire from another square it occupies. When a multi-base character’s attack or line of fire involves multiple targets, each target may have a line of fire drawn from a different square, as long as each square is one that the multi-base character occupies.

Monster Island Turn 9B

Full Moon=2
Walt gets SC.

1. Shuma uses Flurry.

Flurry 1: Shuma destroys the wall between N-19 and N-20.

Flurry 2: Shuma attacks Cerise.

Shuma cannot use Flurry to destroy that particular wall using a close combat attack.

Even though Shuma considers the square adjacent for the purposes of Flurry, destroying the wall still requires the wall to be on the edge of an occupied square. (Otherwise anyone could destroy a wall on the opposite side of adjacent square, even if they aren't next to it)

When you pulled this trick earlier in Turn 2 with the Flurry, you were actually adjacent to the wall you destroyed, thus it was ok.

That's not a trivial monkey wrench in my plans. I may not have the time tonight to figure out what I want to do on my turn, but should be able to put up my next turn by lunchtime tomorrow. Sorry about the delay.
