This one happened to me in a game:
If a figure with HSS moves into hindering terrain, and into base to base contact with an opponent simultaneously, can the HSS figure still attack that turn?
Also, if the figure can still attack, can it move out of the hindering terrain as the second part of the drive by attack?

Other HSS questions:
When a HSS attack generates knockback, does it generate knockback for all of the damage, or only for the last point?

If a figure has HSS and energy steal, Blades/Claws/Fangs or Incapacitate can it use those powers with the HSS 'drive by' and 'flurry' attacks?
If yes, please clarify when the power may be selected for use and turned off, and what the effects are.

Hmmm. I am honestly not sure if any of these powers would work any differently in conjunction with a Hypersonic Speed Attack. Of course, we are talking about a figure that does not exisit.

I can say this. A Hypersonic Speed figure with Blades/Claws/Fangs would cost a whole lot of points to add to your team.

No. Pretty much once you enter Hindering terrain, your movement and therefore the action are immediately over. You would not get to attack at all.
It would generate knockback for all of the damage.
A figure with HSS would NOT be able to use any other supers powers during this attack. Unlike Running Shot and Charge (which specifically state in their PAC descriptions that other powers can be used), HSS does not state that it can be used with other powers.

This answer?

Hello There,

I am not so sure. After all, the OWAW Superman can still use his Super Strength with his Hypersonic Speed.

Generally speaking, it is close combat expert and ranged combat expert that seems to have problems working with other powers.

I thought it stated in the description of HSS that "the figure ignored any hindering terrain or opposing figures"?

No. As stated before, the character must stop moving when they enter Hindering Terrain. Once they stop their movement if over. Unless they are a flier though....

It would generate Knockback immediately when you have rolled for it. If the character can suffer Knockback when you roll it during the HS attack, they are knocked back and the action is over.

Steal Energy and BCF would work (and make the figure in question darned expensive!) but Flurry would be harder. Both Flurry and HSS are Movement powers. We have yet to see a non-promo figure that has two powers of the same type (speed, attack, defense or damage) on the same click in HC.

Actually, the promo Batman you speak of doesn't have two powers on his first click - it's a green spot to represent his starting point before they came up with the line.

I now return you to the thread I've hijacked...
