Ironsong Response (Red)

Reprise - If the defending hero has defended with a card from their hand this chain link, target weapon attack gets +3

The song of a smith rings true, heard with every strike of steel on steel.

Rulings

From the Welcome to Rathe release notes

Ironsong Response has no card text if reprise is not active but can still be played. It simply won’t do anything on resolution.
This only affects the current weapon attack. It will not affect weapon attacks beyond the current weapon attack.

Keyword notes

Reprise - A warrior mechanic that showcases the prowess a warrior has when they are engaged in close combat. Reprise effects “turn on” if the defending hero has defended with a card from their hand.

Reprise cares about the current chain link not the whole combat chain. If a previous attack was defended by a card in hand, it will have no effect on reprise for the current chain link.
Reprise is checked at the time you play the card. If a card with reprise is played then a defense reaction is played from hand, the effect will not apply retroactively.
Equipment and cards from arsenal that defend an attack do not turn on reprise.
