Autofire and Area Effect

[Deadman]

I have a teleporter character that has bought an Area Effect EB with the Selective advantage (ala Nightcrawler) to represent him teleporting around and hitting multiple targets in an area. I would like to add Autofire to the attack so that he hits each target multiple times. Do I still have to pay the +1 surcharge on Autofire?

 

Logic tells me no because he still has to make a standard attack roll for the Selective advantage.

 

Steve?

If a character has an Area Of Effect attack that is either Selective or Nonselective, and he wants to make that attack an Autofire attack, he must still pay the additional +1 cost for Autofire that’s standard for AF AoE attacks.
