Multiples

By The Darkstalker, in UFS Rules Q & A

Say I use a Multiple ability and it's negated / cancelled...

Are the multiples considered to be discarded directly from momentum or added to the card pool then discarded?

And another question...

If the Multiple ability ISN'T negated / cancelled is the momentum added to the card pool the discarded later or discarded then added to card pool then later discarded?

Terribly sry if this seems confusing but I have no better way of wording it.

Momentum is always discarded first, and if not negated will come back into the card pool as multiple copies. Later the multiple copies will be discarded; if they dealt damage you may attempt to add them to your momentum but the rules state that the multiple copies go to discard pile instead.

So I can use *Ninon*'s responce to discard an opponent's momentum as a responce to a Multiple effect?

yes, but only once per use of a multiple ability, even if you discard 2+ for multiple they go all at once so there is only 1 trigger to respond to

Stamps for people! Good explanation.

TYVM guys LOL that means my new deck is a lil better than I thault

so wait; you have to discard momentum now to play multiples... so you would have to twice the multiple rating in your momentum to play the duplicate attacks?

You have always had to discard momentum to play the multiple enhance. Thats the cost of the multiple ability.

What people aren't stating correctly is this. This is the rules text not printed on a card with Multiple.

401.2.1 Multiple: X – E Discard up to X momentum: The player places each momentum discarded to pay
for this ability into their card pool to the right of the multiple attack. Until the end of the turn each momentum
placed into the card pool counts as a copy of the multiple attack. The face down copy's values are copies
of the printed values of the original attack. The face down copy has no printed values. The face down
copy has a blank text box. No control check is required and each copy has its own enhance, block, and
damage step, you must go down the line resolving each multiple copy in turn until you have been through
them all. If a multiple copy would go to a player’s momentum it is discarded instead. If you would create a
multiple copy of a multiple copy the card that would become the copy of a copy is discarded instead.
