Attacks Against Allies

Some effects cause a villain or minion to attack an ally directly. When this occurs, any undefended damage from that attack is placed on the ally that was attacked.

The player who controls the ally is considered the attacked player.
- Abilities that resolve while/when/after the attacking enemy “attacks you” resolve against the attacked player.
- Any boost abilities that refer to “you” refer to the player who controls the attacked ally.
Players may defend these attacks as normal by declaring a hero or an ally as the defender.
If the attack has overkill and defeats an ally (whether that ally was the attacked ally or a defending ally), any excess damage from that attack is dealt to the identity of the player who controlled the defeated ally.
