MASTERMIND: When this character would be hit by an opponent’s attack that deals damage, you may choose an adjacent friendly character that wouldn’t be hit by this attack and that is less points or shares a keyword. That friendly character instead becomes a hit target of the attack, even if it’s already a target (or would be an illegal target).

A figure with two bolts targets two figures that are adjacent. One has mastermind. The attack roll only hits the mastermind figure and misses the adjacent figure.
Can the mastermind figure choose the adjacent figure to be hit, or since it was part of the part initial attack it can not be chosen?

This became a debate tonight

Thanks gang!

You could choose the character that was targeted but not hit.
