A few R. Mika questions

By BlackFireDragon, in UFS Rules Q & A

"E: If your opponent has 4 or more cards in their hand, before you take damage from this attack, you may attempt to play a reversal from your hand and resolve it. Playable while committed.

Questions:

1. simplest one, you resolve the block step first, then afterward whether you blocked or not (doesn't matter), her ability kicks in right afterward but right before damage correct? just wanted to check this because someone once said it happened before you block. I assume they were wrong and the way I described is the correct process.

2. If I use R. Mika's ability and then block the attack, play the reversal and resolve it, can I now reversal as normal off of the block I played or have I missed the timing?

3. If I block with Chi Disruptor, then use Mika to play a reversal and resolve it, can I then Respond with Chi Disruptor to play it as a reversal or has the timing to play the R on Chi Disruptor passed?

4. (not actually an R. Mika question but it going with the flow). If assuming numbers 2 and 3 do work and I blocked with Chi Disruptor, play a reversal with Mika, then want to play Chi Disruptor with its R, will the progressive difficulty for that reversal be +1 or +2. Basically when playing it after blocking, does it "leave" the card pool and then come back in as the reversal, or does it say and add itself to progressive when I'm trying to play itself. sorpresa.gif (sorry for the horrible phasing on that)

Correct.

Well, I'd strongly advise that you take the time to read the new Advanced Game Rules that are available from the support tab, and are directly linked to in the "please read before posting" sticky at the top of this section.

Per those rules, The Chi Disruptor leaves the card pool and goes to the Transitional Zone while it attempts to be played. So the progressive difficulty for the Chi Disruptor is +1

Section 4.8 covers the transitional zone in detail, and section 8 the combat phase details both playing cards, and how reversals interact. (See section 8.3 the attack sequence.)

1. Yep

2. Yep. At least I'm fairly certain it's a yep.

3. I wouldn't imagine so. Because R.Mika's ability kicks in inbetween the block and reversal step.

At 8.3.3.5 to be specific.
