I want to make sure I play this correctly. Where is the dividing line for "increase the next damage dealt" for powers like Haka of Battle or Absolute Zero's incapacitated power. Let's say Haka of Battle is played then Haka uses Taiaha. Does it increase both attacks?
Now for AZ's incapacitated power. When Fanatic deals 1 target - 1 melee damage and 1 radiant damage, are both increased by 2? Then how about Ra with Inferno or Drawn to the Flame where multiple targets are affected, or Chain Lightning? I'm looking to know where to draw the line between the next damage dealt and the damage after that which will not be affected. Thanks in advance.
It’s only the first damage, not the first power or card. Only the first instance of damage will be affected by Taiaha, Fanatic, Inferno, etc.
Only the first post is correct.
The one that asked the question?
*sigh*
Now I can't delete the dupe.
The jokes are just too good...

Who's the dupe in this case?
Something happened to me while playing the app version that I definitely would have misplayed in real life, so I figured I'd share it here. It was a few weeks ago so I'm making up some details, but here's the gist:
I used Haka of Battle and discarded several cards. Then I absentmindedly attacked Dawn whilst on her flipped side. On Haka's next turn I attacked a citizen and whomped them for a ton of damage. It makes sense in retrospect that since I had not dealt damage to Dawn, the damage to the Citizen on my next turn was my "next damage dealt". I just never would've thought to play it that way in real life.
Thanks. I learned from others now I have to sort out the good information from the errr.... uhhh.... Miss Information.
I also ran into an interaction I thought played out differently. Playing in Ruins of Atlantis Toxic Weeds came into play and I didn't destroy it. I had the Visionary play Mass Levitation and use it's power. I thought Toxic Weeds would deal damage first but it ended up not attempting the damage until after Mass Levitation took effect. It dealt no damage because of that.
That’s because saying you are using a power isn’t a separate step. The only way to use a power is to actually use it and have it resolve. Only then, do triggers based on using a power activate.
Don't feel bad for getting a few things wrong! The app also taught me something. Damage changed by Twist the Ether that is then redirected can be changed again using Twist the Ether. So yay for learning stuff!
Really? Seems like a bug.
I believe the app asks you a second time (because it re-checks all adjustments after the redirection), but it doesn't actually apply it twice - the second, post-redirection choice replaces the first, pre-redirection choice.
That's exactly what I was refering to.
Pics or it didn't happen.
And still seems like a bug. Why should you get to change the choice?
Because all bonuses are recalculated when redirection occurs.
You look at all the cards and see which ones are applicable for this new target and apply them again/for the first time, choice of plus or minus 1 and type of damage are parts of the bonus that TtE applies.
This can lead to some fun times, like increasing 4 damage to 5 to get it to trigger IL's redirection, then knocking it down to 3 to trigger Wrench/Mantis Fixer's redirection.
Visionary shenanigans are epic.
You say this, and yet it still doesn't seem right to me. The reason many cards are reapplied after a redirection is because the target has changed and therefore which cards are relevant has changed. Twist the Ether is relevant regardless of the target, so I don't see why its affects would be reconsidered. Yes I can see how tactically it could be very helpful, but so what?
