I feel like the wording on Klaw is kind of odd. His text states:

"When Klaw attacks, give him 1 additional boost card for this activation."

I assume this means he flips two boost cards anytime he attacks anyone. Is that correct? Or does he only flip two boost cards against the first player he attacks each round?

As a follow-up, if he attacks based on revealed encounter cards ("Assault," most obviously) would each of those attacks count as separate activations? So if two players each flipped an "Assault," each would count as a standalone activation and as such, would result in two boost cards per.

I just want to make sure I'm playing this scenario right. I can't imagine I'm the only person who finds the wording a little nebulous.

I don't have my cards or rules in front of me but as part of the framework of a villain attack, they get a boost card. I believe the reason he is worded as "an additional boost" is in the event that a future encounter modular set card were to give Klaw other bonus boost cards rather than word it as "give Klaw 2 boost cards when he attacks".

This additional boost is for each attack no matter if it's an additional attack from an encounter card or his standard activation during the villain phase.

So the phrase “activation” is in regards to him “activating” once against each hero/player each turn. So I think every time he attacks or schemes it is considered a separate activation.

So as I thought, he gets two boost cards against every player, right?

I ask because I was confused by the [+Encounter Card] side schemes. I thought that meant every player gets 2 encounter cards, but only the first player receives one. I wasn't sure if Klaw was the same way or what.
