Can you attack with a trait the opponent does not have, such as a Speed-based Revolver shot at a Phantom or the Tentacled Horror's Head?
The rulebook's Making an Attack section says a trait cannot be used against an opponent who does not have it.

No. You cannot use a trait to attack an opponent who lacks it, so a Speed-based Revolver shot cannot target a Phantom or the Head, which have no Speed. The Revolver always attacks with Speed, so it cannot switch to Might either.
