This special acts as a level # attack. If it is successful, then the character playing the special may make 1 additional attack of a specific type that cannot be defended. The follow up attack is limited in the same way that follow up attacks are limited for cards like AB – if the attack specified is supposed to be of a particular type then it may be made with power cards (either the pure attack of a ultipower) or specials. The follow up attack may not be made with an universe card or a tactic card. If a multipower power card, then the character must be able to use that power card as the specified type.
Meta Rules
Meta #1 Specials which state "may" make additional follow-ups do not require that the follow-up be made. Follow-ups can be made even if the initial attack is defended (unless it is negated).
Meta #2 Specials which allow follow-ups do not require the person making the attack to declare if the follow-up will be made or not UNLESS the Special grants a bonus depending on the number of follow-ups. In that case, the number of follow-ups to be made must be declared, but only after the initial attack is resolved.
Meta #4 Unless a Special says otherwise, follow-up attacks must be made from the same Character playing the Special.
Meta #5 An attack is something which directly affects either the opponent or one of the opponent's Characters. It does not include offensive actions that do not affect the opposing side.
Meta #6 Follow-up attacks may not be made with a Teamwork card, Ally card, Tactic card, Activator card, Aspect card, or an 'Any Hero/Character' Special.
Meta #7 Follow-up attacks that require they be made against a different Character (or opponent) are lost when there is only one Character left on the opposing team.
Meta #9 Specials that allow a follow up can be played after another Special that allows a follow up. If a Special allows for teammates to make follow-up attacks, then any follow-up actions allowed by Specials played as a result of that are all lost. If the Special granting a follow up has been played following a non-Special card (like an Ally card) then the follow up attacks are not lost.
Meta #10 If a Special indicates a specific type of "attack" (such as "Fighting attack") then any attack can be made by the Character provided it falls into the legal types of attacks that can be made by the Character and that the attack is made as the specific type.
Meta #29 If a Special has the phrase "if successful", then the second aspect of the Special only takes place in the event that the initial attack is not defended. If the hit lands and is later negated, then the subsequent action is not negated if the result is no longer "on the table."
Meta #40 Played defensively, negates cause Specials played by the opponent to be defended. Any actions described by the Special that should not be performed upon its success (discarding cards, being unable to attack, follow-up attacks, etc.) should not be performed.
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 #122 If a Special has the phrase "if successful", and the secondary condition targets a Character, then the secondary condition only comes into effect if it is a Character which is targeted. If a Special or a Battlesite were targeted, then the secondary effect would not take place. If the secondary condition does not target a Character but affects the playing Character or the opponent, then the effect still comes into play.
