(Special) Inhumanity: Black Bolt can use Perplex, but can't modify damage values and may only target a character with the Inhumans keyword within 3 squares.

(Attack) Sonic Annihilation: Black Bolt can use Pulse Wave and Improved Targeting: Ignores Blocking Terrain. When a ranged combat attack resolves, any blocking terrain along its line of fire to the target is destroyed. When he uses Pulse Wave, the attack generates knock back and each hit character is knocked back 3 squares.

Trying to find an answer quick during our game lol, can Black Bolt just use Pulse Wave and not the Improved Targeting Blocking, or if he can use Improved Targeting Blocking does it automatically get used when Pulse Wave goes off?
Thanks

When it doesn't give him an option (no statement of "may"), that means he can't opt to not use it.

That being said, I've asked on WES if you could ever opt to not use improved something, but they didn't answer it.

that's what we kinda went with for now, both being about 95% sure, but figured we'd try ask anyway.

Not that you said anything to indicate it, but I have had to tell people this before. Only Blocking Terrain along Lines of Fire are destroyed. Not all blocking terrain in the AOE. So if Blocking Terrain is behind one of the characters they would still be knocked back into that blocking assuming another character was not hiding behind it.
