Does resisting a Special Showdown raise the next nemesis encounter's level?
The best-supported reading from forum discussion; not confirmed by the designer.
Resisting Armored Strangers triggers a Special Showdown against a level 1 King's Man, which is not a Nemesis encounter, so the timeline's Lvl 1 Nemesis encounter stays Lvl 1. The raise-a-level rule applies to nemesis encounters with no specified level. An older FAQ relayed in the thread said a nemesis met by resisting counts toward the next level; forum replies say 1.5 timelines specify the level, superseding it.
