Auto Hits and Built of Strong Stuff

[Hugor]

I feel like Built of Strong Stuff negates Powerful. Thus, things that auto hit and are not Attack actions (and cannot be affected by Powerful) can still cause multiple rips. I am thinking of Joss's Sparkling Axes in particular. Since it is not an Attack, I do not feel like Punk Zombie's Built of Strong Stuff negates the second rip if Joss discards two cards.

Was about to use this as an example of why Sparkling Axes could be a better choice than a typical attack when Joss has several Powerful's from Angry, but then started to second guess myself. So, thought I would see what others thought about the matter.

You are correct, sir.

Built of strong stuff specifically references "attack." Which, in Puppet Wars, refers to the Attack action (probably should have been capitalized, oh well). Sparkling axes is not an attack action, built of strong stuff is no help there.
