Arcane Barrier 2

Rulings

From the Omens of the Third Age release notes

Thunderous Retort’s first ability triggers at the start of your action phase. When this triggered effect resolves, you will destroy Thunderous Retort and you will generate a continuous effect that applies to your next attack this turn (e.g. weapon attack, attack action card), giving it go again.
Thunderous Retort’s Arcane Barrier value varies between the different cards in its cycle. You cannot pay less than the prescribed value of Arcane Barrier to prevent arcane damage (e.g. you must pay 3 resources to use Arcane Barrier 3 regardless if the damage event is 1, 2 or 3 damage).
