Who assigns combat damage in Riftbound, and how does damage assignment work?

Answer
Ruling: Each player assigns the damage that their units do to the enemy units. Both players assign damage to each other, with the attacker assigning first.
Sequence:
- When assigning damage, you must first assign all your damage to killable units (enough to kill them)
- Once a unit has been assigned lethal damage, any leftover damage can be assigned to the next killable unit
- This continues until all damage is assigned
- If the opponent buffs their units during combat and you have less might, your opponent assigns which of your units take damage (following the same rules: must kill one unit before assigning to others)
Nuances:
- All units contribute their full might to the fight, then players decide which enemy units to kill (unlike Magic where units battle one by one)
- Edge cases exist for units that receive no damage (like Kayn) or stunned units (like Leona's ability)
- You have a chance to respond with your own buff if the enemy buffs their units during combat
