These Specials allow a Character (or a Character's teammate if that is the case) to avoid a specific type of attack. Cards that allow a teammate to avoid an attack may be used to defend any of your Character's teammates, including your Reserve Character (however, unless specifically stated, the Reserve Character may not defend for a front line Character).
Contents
Variations
"Avoid 1 attack made with a Universe card"
These types of AD would stop a Power card and a Universe card, a Power card and a Training Universe card, one attack from a Teamwork Universe card, an Ally card, or a Tactic card. It would not avoid a Special card played as a follow up to an Ally card.
"Avoid 1 attack of # or less" or "Avoid any numerical attack"
These can only be used to avoid a numerical attack and cannot be used to avoid non-numerical attacks such as an AX attack ("Target may not attack for remainder of Battle").
"Avoid 1 (power type) attack"
These avoid any attacks made that contain the specified type(s). For example, the rules for AE Specials is that any two cards, once combined together to make an attack, are considered a part of each other. So, if one part is avoided, then the entire attack is avoided. For example, if an attack is made with a 4 Fighting combined with a 3 Strength, and an "Avoid 1 Strength attack" card is used to block it, the whole attack is avoided.
"Avoid 1 attack that contains a (power type) icon"
These avoid any attack made with a card containing the specified icon. The specified icon does not need to be in use and this Special will still block it. These also avoid attacks made from a Battlesite.
Notes
If a character is under the influence of a "-# bonus to all actions" Special, and a teammate has a "Teammate may avoid an attack of # or less" Special, the number looked at to determine if the attack can be blocked is the unmodified attack number. If an AD Special is drawn for the Reserve Character, and a Special is already placed on the Reserve, then this Special does not have to be discarded as unplayable.
Exceptions/Errata
Blob's Blubber Block and Scarlet Spider's Scarlet Savior should be considered an AG Special.
