If a unit is damaged before combat, then combat damage is prevented (e.g., by Hidden Blades removing the opposing unit), does the damaged unit still heal during combat cleanup?

Answer

Ruling: Yes, combat cleanup still occurs even when the combat damage step is skipped, so units heal marked damage at that time.

Sequence:

  • Combat damage step is skipped when no units deal combat damage
  • Combat cleanup step still occurs
  • Units heal marked damage during combat cleanup

Nuances:

  • Units heal to 0 marked damage (not to a specific health value, as units don't have health in Riftbound)
