How does this work? Does it steal the numbers of the EC to the enhancement and leave the EC with 0/0 numbers, killing it?Benefiting from Troubles (Ap)Type: Hero Enh. Brigade: Blue Ability: None Class: None Special Ability: Redirect abilities (*/*) of one Evil Character in battle back on the Evil Character(s) in battle.
But when it says redirecting them back to the evil characters in battle doesn't that mean just give it back to them? I always thought it was a useless card because it took the EC's numbers then gave it back.
I'm not sure I agree that this should be a battle winner as described. The EC is not being reduced to zero. Redirect is not reduce. The numbers are still there, they are just being used by the hero instead.
Sounds like the EC is in fact being reduced. Wow, I can't believe BFT actually is useful.
I don't think it's that much of a change, simply because if this wasn't the way it was played, it would be entirely inconsistent when redirecting abilities as opposed to redirecting special abilities.
So, can you redirect a CBN enhancement then and would it cancel the ability?

@YMT, you're way overreacting. I think Benefitting from Troubles is the only card in the entire game that redirects abilities. For that matter, there are only like five that redirect anything period. You're also trying to apply the definition of redirecting abilities to redirecting special abilities, which is different.
Redirect had always been treated "as if the card was played by the opponent," or in this case, "as if the numbers were part of the rescuer's total."
