Just putting this here to help you all out, since it's not made obvious in the slightest.
PSA: Minions don't get boost cards
Thanks, Supertoe.
Anyway it is specified in the Learn to Play book, under HERO FORM: ENEMIES ATTACK
if any minions are engaged with the player resolving this activation, those minions attack that player, one minion at a time. Resolve each minion’s attack as in steps two and four, but use only the minion’s ATK value to determine how much damage is dealt. ( No boost cards are dealt to attacking minions. )
Same explanation also for scheming.

It’s pretty clearly expressed in the Learn to play for the Villain activations - step 4 of the ‘Alter-Ego Form: Enemies Scheme’ section on page 15 and Step 5 of the ‘Hero Form: Enemies Attack’ section on page 16 of the Learn to Play... Also pretty clear from the relevant rules reference sections...
I know it's there, but it's only in one line. Without a special "boost" step outlined, it's not clear, hence why I thought it would be nice to help anyone else out. Just something I noticed while reading the rules today before our first games.
Thanks, we missed it the first time through.
I missed it the first time too. I did correct it for later plays.
Thank you, was in doubt and had forgotten.

Good call. Those of us who are LOTR LCG transplants expect to add boost cards to everyone. I missed that too my first few games.
So if the Villian attacks or schemes with a card draw does it draw a boost?

Yes. The Villain always gets a boost, unless a card tells you otherwise. A minion never gets a boost, unless a card tells you otherwise.
Imagine the difficulty if every minion drew a boost, lol
Wow, it'd even give zero stat schemers a shot at adding threat. Might be fun to try.

My group did that by accident on our first try against Klaw. It was exciting and terrifying!
