These Specials acts as a level # attack but they have a unique requirement that determines how they can be defended or by whom they can be defended. For Specials that indicated the gender of the Character who can defend the attack, Characters that do not fall into clear male or female genders should be considered neutral. The attack may be negated, though.

Meta Rules
Meta #44 When a card specifies what cards may (or may not) be used to defend it, this includes ALL cards used in the defense.

Meta #45 Special cards never fuse with MultiPower Power cards - even if the Special says that it "acts as a MultiPower Power card."

Meta #57 A Character card which represents a group of Characters (Brood, Sentinels, Starjammers, etc.) are considered neuter gender (not male or female).

Meta #58 Negates are considered a card being played defensively. If a Special indicates that it cannot be defended by a Special card, then a Negate cannot be used to defend the attack (although it may be used afterwards offensively to negate the effect). If a Special card indicates that it can only be defended by a specific type of card, then this excludes all other cards (including negates).

Meta #111 All icons which appear on a card count as an icon, even if that aspect of the card is not being used.

Meta #124 Specials which are already in play prior to an attack being launched can be utilized in the defense of that attack without being considered "being played defensively."
