EX

If used offensively, target character may not use cards with a specified icon to attack or defend for the remainder of battle. If used defensively, only character playing the Special or teammate of character playing the Special may be targeted and may not use cards with a specified icon to attack or defend for the remainder of battle.

Meta Rules
Meta #18 When a Special indicates a card with a specific icon then it includes cards with the specific icon OR cards that are being played along with a card with the specific icon.

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 #86 Power cards that are played as part of a Teamwork attack are still considered to be played as a part of the Teamwork attack (and all icons from the Teamwork card are considered to be a part of the attack). Special cards that are played after playing an Ally card are not considered as part of a Universe card attack. The icons do not join with the Special played.

Meta #110 A Special that indicates what can and cannot be played once it hits can still be defended by the type of card it restricts, provided no other restrictions are in play.

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 #150 Specials which target a Character must be played against a character - they may not be played against a Special or a Battlesite.
