Newbie Questions on Talim and Harder they Fall

By meatmanjake, in UFS Rules Q & A

For Talim****, how does her Response work? The first half makes sense, but the second half confuses me.

Also, for "The Harder They Fall", what happens if you play it against someone with ?? in one or both stats?

Thanks!

A ? in a stat field means the worst possible outcome for that character, so harder they fall would definitely work.

As for the R, because of the ??s, let's say it matches criteria for the 2nd half, and give an example.

Your opponent's attack starts at 6 damage.

They enhance to add 4 damage.

You respond, originally this would return it to 6 instead, but now it halves it: 6+4/2 =5.
