Don’t think this has been asked or answered yet. The Bruiser villain archetype has a reaction ability called Living Wall that lets him retarget Attacks onto himself. The ability includes the clause “You may use this reaction any number of times in a round by taking one irreducible damage for each time past the first.”
This prompts a few questions:
-
Earlier podcasts have established that the hero Red Athletic ability Push Your Limits lets you use any number of reactions per round, but still only once per turn. This shut off a number of reaction combos and makes it impossible to (for ex) Defend more than one target against a multi-target Attack ability. The wording of PYL is very different than Living Wall, but the PYL clarification suggests that a soft rule about “one reaction per turn maximum” exists. So should that semi-rule apply to Living Wall, or could you use it to (say) martyr yourself blocking many, many hits from a multi-target minion sweeper ability from some hero?

The wording on Living Wall makes it clear you can use it many times per round, but it specifically refers to LW only. Does it have to be the only reaction you use in a round?
2.1) If you have another reaction and use it, can you still use Living Wall later in the round?
2.1.2) If so, do you treat the first use of LW as the second use of a reaction and therefore paying the damage tax?
