<p>In the instructions for Legendary: A Marvel Deck Building game, a way of increasing difficulty is to &quot;Add +1-5 Power to the Mastermind.&quot;</p>
<p>What does that mean? My guess is that it increases its Attack (i.e. the number you need to hit the Mastermind with to defeat them), and I could be blind here but I don't see this clarified anywhere in the rules that come with the game.</p>

(Asked by: username_0 on 2022-08-27)

In the instructions for Legendary: A Marvel Deck Building game, a way of increasing difficulty is to "Add +1-5 Power to the Mastermind."

What does that mean? My guess is that it increases its Attack (i.e. the number you need to hit the Mastermind with to defeat them), and I could be blind here but I don't see this clarified anywhere in the rules that come with the game.

Unfortunately there isn't an officially maintained FAQ or Errata for Legendary, but from a few pieces of evidence we can confirm your guess is correct; **Power** is **Attack**.

Firstly, the only number that could be added to on all masterminds is the Attack.  
Secondly, when the designer Devin Low [posts on boardgamegeek](https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/902144/article/10950669#10950669) he uses [POWER] to reference attack modifiers.  
and Finally, if you pull apart the official rules PDF this symbol [![power](https://i.sstatic.net/MnOj0.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/MnOj0.png) is referenced by `/Power`, leaving the potential for the mixed terminology ultimately being a careless typesetting error
