How does the Attack power work?
Attack is an offensive Power Play power that lets you target another team and remove points from their score. Instead of helping only your own progress, it puts pressure on competitors directly.

How Attack works
When you use Attack:
- you choose another team as the target
- Thrillify subtracts points from that team’s total
- the amount removed depends on the power’s rarity and the event’s Base Points setting
This makes Attack especially useful when the leaderboard is close and reducing someone else’s score could change the standings.
What can affect the result
Attack does not always remove the full amount. If the target team has an active Shield, part of the attack may be blocked.
That means the final result can vary:
- no shield: the target loses the full attack amount
- shield active: some of the points may be blocked
- in some cases, a strong shield setup may reduce the impact significantly
Why players choose Attack
Attack is a strong choice when:
- another team is just ahead of you
- you want to slow down a leader
- your event is highly competitive
- you’d rather disrupt an opponent than wait for a passive benefit
How rarity affects Attack
Higher rarity versions usually remove more points. Because Attack scales from the event’s Base Points setting, it can be much stronger in events with bigger point values.
Strategy tips
- Use Attack when the leaderboard is tight and every point matters.
- Check to see if a team has a Shield active before targeting it, otherwise the result may be smaller than expected.
- Multiple teams targeting the same opponent can create a snowball effect, so consider the timing of your attack.
Key Takeaways
- Attack removes points from another team.
- You must target a team when using it.
- The final impact depends on rarity, event settings, and whether Shield reduces the hit.
- It’s a strong competitive option in close events.
