if bomerang calls 3 targets with energy explosion and the damage is upped by 1 from a shield team, does each target take 2? if not, then why.....

You apply the Enhancement after the initial action. If the characters were set up as such:
XEX

XXX
ABC
XXX

Legend
E-Boomerang
A,B,C-The poor EE targets


Figure A would take 4, splash damage from B and from being directly hit. Figure B would take 6, splash damage from A and C and from being directly hit; and Figure C would also take 4, from splash damage from B and being directly hit.

Hope this helps!

I wanted to add that defense abilities can be a factor whenever these figures take damage. INV and IMP (if the roll is lower than 5) soak up 2 damage. Super Senses can change the splash damage factor as well. If Figure B made their super senses and IMP roll, every affected figures potential damage is reduced by 2. The Super Senses figure would still take 4 because splash damage cannot be avoided.

Keep an eye on the Universe rules because Enhancement/SHIELD have been reworked to adding 1 to the damage value instead of adding 1 to damage dealt.

I actually did this just today with Boomerang, though I used Enhancement rather than SHIELD. He was running an Invisigirl formation, and boy did it ever backfire on him!

Yes, IG cannot handle EE very well. I also did that move on a poor soul at Southeast Regionals. I did not see too many IG teams after that.

Zgrose.....


Does that mean that Shield and enhancement don't add
up on EE ?????

I don't know. I haven't seen a definitive answer on the timing of modifiers.

ok, because you all are not listening, i'll make it REALY easy on you

--SB---


AXXCxxD


a,c,and D are all enemies. S is a shield agen and b is boomerang.

none of the opposing figs are ajacent to eachother.

if I up the damage EE does, will all 3 (that is A,C and D for those of you lost) take 2 damage from the EE attack.
NO defence ability. No one is ajacent. Straight question....yes or NO

under the current rules:

yes.


1 damage from the EE
+1 damage to each figure dealt damage
=2 damage to each figure


under the Universe rules:

maybe, check back later.

Wow! You are amazingly rude man! Zgrose is more generous than I am. Take off!

Your initial post said NOTHING about the three figures not being adjacent. The whole point of using Energy Explosion in the first place is to take advantage of the splash damage. It's natural to assume that the figures are adjacent, because otherwise there's no bloody point in using EE at all.

I wanted to follow up on this.

According to the FAQ, A takes 3 damage. B takes 4, C takes 3 because the Enhancement is added after all the damages are totaled. A takes 1 for the hit, 1 for the splash (from B) and +1 for Enhancement.

From the FAQ:

Well if you are going to ask for an answer to a question, it would help greatly if you were as clear as possible. It's not a matter of the other posters on this thread not listening, it is because your ideas were unclear.

On another note, if you are going to criticize someone, make sure that you maintain your professionalism at all times. People will take you more seriously and be just as willing to help you. Be glad that someone took time out of their schedule to help you.

I appriciate all the good advice I recive here & appologize for the tone of that post, It's kind of a moot point Now, as Whizkids has updated the ruling anyway.

I was curious, though Does any1 Know exactly how the SS TA works? I need it explained at lentgh for thisi purpose: I played against a team, Doc Doom, Deadshot, Chameleon, & a medic. According to how my friend played it it's the character BESIDE the SS member that gets the healing roll, I belive in my heart that is more akin to the FF TA & that the SS member gets the roll, & the ajacent char. is just KO'd. is there a clearer wording or this that may be found, or is an SS WC team really unkillible?

The figure healed is the Suicide Squad team member.
