Battlefront Bastion (Yellow)

“When this defends” is an event-based trigger. Battlefront Bastion will trigger if it is added to the chain link after its declared as the only defending card or if it is added by itself to the chain link by an effect (e.g. Pulsewave Harpoon). It will trigger regardless if there are already other defending cards on that active chain link.

If Battlefront Bastion’s triggered effect resolves then another defending card is added to the chain link (e.g. a defense reaction is added), you will still prevent the next 1 damage that would be dealt to you this turn.

In a multiplayer game, if you declare Battlefront Bastion as a defending card and another player declares an additional defending card (such as cards with Protect) against an attack that targets you, Battlefront Bastion will not trigger.

In a multiplayer game, if your Battlefront Bastion is the only defending card that is declared and added to the active chain link in the Defend step against an attack that targets you and other players (e.g. Apocalypse Automaton), Battlefront Bastion will trigger regardless of how the other defending heroes declare defending cards for themselves against that attack.
