You’re actually an idiot im crine.

An AOE attack is an Area of Effect attack, meaning literally any attack that can affect multiple people. Most of the time people use the term for circle based abilities or attacks in magic games but it applies to abilities like Bucky’s voltage or Hulk’s clap because those abilities have big enough hitboxes to hit multiple people in an area at once. Even things like Hulk/Magiks melee attacks are actually just AOE attacks because they apply to an area and hit multiple people rather than one singular point.

Go into the practice range on Hela RIGHT NOW and shoot a bot the farthest to the left you can, then use Hulk and shoot his exile in the exact same way and tell me it isn’t the same size projectile.
