Hey there.

Using an E ultron with Energy Explosion.

I realize that damage becomes 1, but I have 3 psyloches adjacent to him, making the damage 4.

My question is, he can do 2 ranged attacks, so does that mean 4 for each attack, or do I divide that up (1 + 3, or 2 + 2)?

Thanks,
G

Nope. They changed the rule a while back. That used to work, but they changed it so that EE can't be increased. You can, however, multi-target 2 adjacent opponents, and each would take 2 (1 from the attack, 1 from the splash for each of them).

EE doesn't deal damage based on the characters damage value, it is based on the number of times that the character is hit by EE. The damage value is not relevant. Example: if a character is hit once directly and once by the 'splash', then they have been hit 2 times, so would be dealt 2 damage.

thanks, can Pulse Wave be increased?

Nope. Only with the "Nova Blast" feat card where a character would do their unmodified printed damage instead of reducing the damage down to 1. Otherwise there's no way to increase damage from a Pulse Wave.

if you use "Nova Blast", then could you also increase the value? ie, having a phyloche next to him/her, or perpelxing?

No, nova blast works with the characters unmodified damage value.
If your pulse wave is against a single character, then you can increase your damage value, but against multiple characters it is dropped to 1.

hmmm...did they change that? I was at a tourney last summer, and a guy was using a U Magneto. He perplexed his damage up to 7 (using Nova Blast as well), and hit 5 of my guys, killing most of them. Judge allowed it.

Nope. It says right on the card "UNmodified damage". I've heard of a few people that either don't understand it or tried to get around it by ignoring that line.

Nova Blast says right on the card that you use the unmodified damage value.

Sheesh, I beat you again by just a few seconds..... usually I'm the one getting beat by a few seconds LOL!

thanks for clearing all this up guys...

Just wanted to point out one exception to what has been stated above: When only one figure is within range of a Pulse Wave, the Pulse Wave damage does not drop to 1 - instead, the attacker's damage value is used. In this specific situation, it is possible to use Perplex and IcWO to increase the damage value before making the attack.

Quebbster-It might be time to quit.lol This is not an exception to what was stated already, it Was stated already.

Well, I'm tired and didn't read every letter of every post.
But this is hardly the straw that breaks the camel's back though...
