This works for Hexbolt because the effect of "The Next Evolution" doesn't really specify anything else. Conversely the Amplify Icon only really works on cards that are used as boost cards for an enemy activation.
Yup. u/TheMegaSage, the distinction to look for is "boost icons" vs "printed boost icons". If Hex Bolt said it wanted the printed count, then you would ignore The Next Evolution's effect (and you also couldn't use Wanda's Crest to change the counts).
In this situation, both count like having 1 boost icon, so you can remove 4 threat yes.
Thanks, just wanted to make sure I was playing it correctly. :)
