What it says on the tin. If The Wraith uses her “Stealth” power twice, without taking damage in between, does she prevent the next 4 damage, or just the next 2? I could read it either way. Thanks!

Thanks!
I tryed that link, but it no longer seems to be going to the post thsy has the answer to that question. Is there a new link to the answer?
4. It is all from 1 attack though. not multiple attacks. Even if an attack does 0 damage, it would still use it up.
The forums were moved (some time in 2012?), so any links created before then wouldn't work.
I wasn't able to easily find the original thread.
I recommend referring to Spiff's collection of rulings and clarifications.

Actually, if something does damage which ends up with a total of 0 (or less) then no damage is taken, thus it doesn't qualify as next damage (thus an attack of 0 will not remove stealth protection)
However, irreducible damage would use up the protection, with none of the benifets of the protection.
Your right. I knew there was a sitaution where you could lose everything and not have it used, just couldn;t remember and wasn't thinkning.
That seems wrong to me. Wouldn't that make it possible for Wraith to become completely unkillable against certain villains without irreducible damage?
Not sure how you reached that conclusion. I think JayMann is saying that if an attack is reduced to zero damage by something OTHER than the stealth power, than the stealth reduction doesn't kick in.
Mind you, assuming I'm correct about what JayMann wrote, I disagree. Even if someone tried to somehow attack The Wraith with a negative 50 million attack, her Stealth power kicks in on the next attack. Even if she's immune, that reduction kicks in on the next attack.
I agree. The reduction triggers on the next attack, regardless of whether the next attack actually damages Wraith.
@arenson9 & Spiff
Clearly you are both wrong. If you are right, then that means I was right too, and that just can't happen.
I still have the first printing. Does the new reprinted stealth say "next damage" or "next attack"?
If it says damage, I will have to agree with Jayman. If attack, I would side with Pydro and Arenson
Nothing says attack. This word is not part of the card rules vocabulary. It’s a much more natural word to use than to deal damage when conversing about the game.
Considering it is reduction, I would think it would go away even if the thing causing Wraith damage were somehow reduced to 0 by another means. As damage reduction and increases happen "simultaneously" it would end up being in order of play if anything. Considering Wraith's character card has probably been in play the longest, her damage reduction will surely kick in before any other damage reduction.
However I am not so sure about Immunity.
