Arcadia Quest
Do monsters close to me get Guard Reactions when I attack something other than the adjacent monster?
The designer answered this directly on the forum, and it matches the rulebook's Triggered By An Attack section.

Yes. If a hero's attack does not target a Close monster, every Close monster attacks him once the attack has resolved. That covers an enemy hero anywhere and a monster at range, even when the hero attacks from a Space next to a monster. An attack that targets a Close monster, directly or through an effect such as Cleave, triggers none of them, and an attack on a monster that is already Close does not either.
