Jul. 30th, 2021 05:34 amI don’t know if the tabletop version of Sentinels of the Multiverse explains this, but the digital version doesn’t explain it anywhere I’ve seen, and it’s frequently important. So: all abilities are last-in first-out. If the effects of ability 1 trigger ability 2, you put ability 1 on hold and start using ability 2. Then if ability 2 triggers ability 3, you put 2 on hold and start using 3. When all text of ability 3 resolves, you go back to ability 2, and when all text of ability 2 resolves, you go back to ability 1.
Say you’re fighting Gloomweaver, and Tempest electrocutes all his minions. This kills a cultist, which activates Gloomweaver’s ability that plays a zombie when a cultist dies. Gloomweaver’s ability resolves in its entirety and the zombie hits the field. Then, since Tempest electrocutes ALL enemies, he electrocutes the zombie.
Or say you’re using the Southwest Sentinels against Voss. You have Sentinel Tactics out, which activates an SS’s power the first time each turn an SS does damage. You play a card that makes one of the SS damage all enemies, and as your first target, you pick one of Voss’s Gene-Bound Guards, which gives all of his minions damage resistance so long as it’s alive. You damage it, but not enough to kill it. Since you’ve just done damage, Sentinel Tactics activates in its entirety, and you use the Idealist’s power to hit the Guard for more damage and finish it off. Now that’s resolved, the AOE card hits every other minion—but since the Guard is dead, they don’t get its damage reduction. (This saved me once when Forced Deployment put out ten minions at once.)
BTW, if ability 1 activates abilities 2 and 3 at the same time, you choose which one has priority.

Would I piss off EVERYONE if I said that this reminds me of that anti-abortion politician, the one who said your body isn’t your own when it’s a vessel for your child?

Jul. 30th, 2021 09:43 pmI’m playing The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles. I thought Kazuma was going to end up on the opposite side and become this game’s Edgeworth. Then I met the British baron who dresses like a vampire, and I realized no one could be more Edgey than him.
