Widow's Bites & Attacrobatics Bug

A topic by Average4PlayersGame created Mar 16, 2025 Views: 84 Replies: 3

Game Version:  v0.5.8.199

Card ID: Widow's Bites (08010) and Attacrobatics (08006)

Expected vs. Actual Results

For 08010, when Blackwidow activates when she's stunned, the minion gets the stunned status card anyway. 08010 should totally get cancelled when the user is stunned.

--------------------------------------------------

For 08006, Blackwidow should not be able to trigger the card if there are any GUARD minion in play since it's a (attack) card. However, I can trigger it when Armored Guard (01120) is in play.

Hi @Average4PlayersGame,

Thank you for reporting the bugs related to “08010” and “08006.”

Regarding “08010”, this issue arises because we updated the logic for the stunned status a while ago, but we did not catch this bug. We will address it soon.

Regarding “08006”, this ability has two effects:

  1. Cancel the boost icon.
  2. Deal damage to the villain.

We believe the Guard keyword only affects the second part of “08006.” Therefore, the card should still be playable, but it will not deal damage to the villain.

We found a relevant FAQ that addresses this situation:

Q: What if the attack does something else (such as Black Widow’s Attacrobatics canceling boost icons)?
A: We rule that the villain can still be the target of attacks and attack events even if the villain cannot take damage. It is possible to play Attacrobatics to attack a villain that can’t take damage while still canceling the boost icons on the revealed boost card.

However, we did identify a bug where “08006” can trigger its ability when your identity has a stunned status card. This is due to the same reason as “08010,” and we will also address this issue.

Thank you for your understanding.

Your FAQ you've provided was talking about the different interaction.

Your FAQ talked about "What if the villain cannot take damage", it didn't talk about GUARD keyword, which make you "cannot target the villain" this FAQ is more accurate.

Under the current rulings, Attacrobatics flops if Black Widow is engaged with a guard minion. I am curious why guard prevents the card from canceling the boost icons and just failing to do the attack/damage to the villain due to guard. Other cards with the same formatting require each sentence to be read in order and you resolve each sentence one by one until it is not possible. In this case, you would discard attacrobatics when a boost is revealed.

Then you would proceed to do as much as possible for the second portion which in this case would be to cancel the boost icons. After the newest ruling on melee regarding sentence by sentence reading this would imply that every card is to be treated in the same way. Melee used to flop if there was a guard minion since both instances of damage occurred at the same time, but the most recent revision change the interaction to deal 3 damage. Then deal 3 more damage to a different enemy which allows you to kill a guard and hit the villain with the second instance.

The reason you can’t trigger Attacrobatics while engaged with a guard minion is because it is an (attack) card. You cannot attack the villain while engaged with a guard minion.

Hi @Average4PlayersGame,

Thank you for your response.

You’re right—the FAQ I provided didn’t address the Guard keyword, while yours does. Based on the official rulings, since “08006” (Attacrobatics) is classified as an attack card, it cannot be played if a Guard minion is engaged with the player, as the Guard keyword prevents any attacks targeting the villain. We will update it to align with this ruling.

We appreciate your patience and dedication to improving the game experience. If you have any further observations or suggestions, please feel free to share them.
