Flay vs. Impossible to Wound

[MadmanMSU]

Which takes precedence, Flay or Impossible to wound?

 

Example:

 

An Illuminated is attacking Nicodem, who has the Brilliance condition applied to him.  After the attack flip is finished, the result is a double negative damage flip.  However, the Illuminated has enough suits to trigger Flay which states that "the damage flip may be cheated, even if there is a negative flip".  However, Nicodem has Impossible to Wound, which states that "Damage flips against this model may not be cheated".

 

This seems directly contradictory to me.  Which one applies?

ZFiend, no. It has been ruled (by Justin via Twitter) that Impossible to Wound beats Flay. Going by the wording, it makes it extremely likely that the Black Joker trumps Flay as well.

 

Yeah I know, I was just being sarcastic.

As worded, I believe Flay trumps both Impossible to Wound and the Black Joker. What appears to be the intent (and how I'll play it unless something else is confirmed) is that it overrides negative flips preventing cheats.

 

We've been specifically told by Justin that this is not correct. It overrides negative flips preventing cheats, and that is all. It does not override ItW preventing cheats, or the Black Joker preventing cheats.
