Fear and Confusion reads:
"Whenever an Arkham Inmates character you control attacks a character this turn, exhaust that character."

Now, does the exhaustion come before the attack? If so, you could then use Crushing Blow to give your guy +3 ATK and +3 DEF for attacking an exhausted character.

Not too sure on how the chain resolves on that one....I'm just looking for ways to make AI useful.

It doesn't really matter. You can add the crushing blow after Fear and Confusion resolves to get the boost. There is a priority point after each link of the chain resolves.

Ah, I see. Well, that may be one of the combos I could use when putting together my AI deck.

i played a decent a hood/SS deck that made great use of rouge and crushing blow.

crushing blow is very useful for punishing decks that use alot of activated powers, or for decks that like to counter strike after their opponents have attecked. and fear and confusion seems like a perfect fit with it.

yep, and with No Man's Land and Charaxes, it's a good fit.

Its just like Rogue and Crushing blow. Its a nice combo.

Let's not forget Crushing Blow's newest best friend, Thunder. Exhausting entire rows at a time is wonderful in an exhaustion/AI deck like the one I'm making. Should be very fun.
