Affects Desolidified and a Desolidfied Attacker

[Christopher]

Asume character A and B both have Desolidification active (different SFX, no Limitations).

Asume furthermore that A has an Attack with "Affects Desoldified" that can overcome B's Desolidfication.

 

Question: Does character A needs "Affects Physcial World" to affect B with his "Affects Desoldified" attack despite being Desolidfied himself?

6E1 190 states, “Desolidified characters cannot automatically affect each other unless their powers have similar special effects (for example, two wizards using similar Desolidification spells could hit each other normally while they’re both Desolidified).” If two Desolidified characters are fighting, and their special effects for Desolidification differ, either of them can affect the other with an attack that has the Affects Desolidified Advantage (or with an attack that already affects Desolidified targets, see 6E1 190). They don’t have to have the Affects Physical World (+2) Advantage on their attacks, since neither of them is trying to hit a solid target.
