Da Commando’s Gatling Wand

Question on this card. It indicates that it provides +3 power per kill made with this card. Is this card responsible for the “kill” if its attack is redirected back to the player who played it and they die?

In addition – this came up while playing.  I was killed by the 3rd attack – should I take 7 more damage after taking the DW Token and resetting my HP?

We already decided that each attack was its own and would require a defense card for each, just not sure how the damage should wrap if targeting same player.

I killed the same wizard twice in one turn with this card. if you were targeted with the 4th attack after you were resurrected, that’s a new attack of 7 damage against your full health wizard.

1.  Damage *never* “wraps” after a kill.  If you deal 35 damage to a player at 1 HP, they still respawn at 20.

2.  When you redirect an attack, you completely gain control of it as though it were “yours.”  So if the card said “for each player YOU killed this way” you would NOT gain the +3 POWER.  However, since this specific card stipulates that the person who played the original card (not the attack) gains +3 Power for each kill made with the “card” yes you will get the +3 POWER from your opponent redirecting the attack and killing you.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but Da Commando’s Gatling Wand allows 4 distinct attacks at a base of 7 damage each. Assuming no modifiers enhancing damage are in play, if I were to direct the first attack to a wizard that was at 1 HP, that would kill them and they’d respawn at 20. The additional 6 damage would be of no impact.

I could then direct attacks 2, 3, & 4 at that same wizard and assuming no attacks were blocked, the 4th attack would kill them a second time.

Yeah, that’s how we ruled it when we were playing. It seemed a little counterintuitive to be gaining power from my own death, but it was how we interpreted the card.
