If Soraka and another unit (e.g., a 2 might unit) are both dealt lethal damage simultaneously in combat, does Soraka's damage prevention effect save the other unit before she dies, or do both units die?

Ruling: Both units die. Damage is dealt simultaneously to all units in combat, and if Soraka dies at the same time as other units, she cannot save them with her effect.

Sequence:

• Combat damage is assigned to all units
• All assigned damage is dealt simultaneously
• If Soraka would die from the damage, she cannot prevent damage to other units dying at the same time

Nuances:

• Assigning damage and dealing damage are two separate steps
• Even though damage assignment happens in order, the actual dealing of damage is simultaneous
• This ruling comes from the Chinese FAQ (confirmed with design team) and may be clarified further in an official English FAQ
