If a unit is attacking or defending but the combat becomes unopposed (e.g., through Fight or Flight or moving the unit), does it still count as attacking/defending for effects like Yi or Cleave?

Ruling: Yes, units retain their attacking/defending status and associated bonuses until the end of the combat showdown, even if the combat becomes unopposed.

Nuances:

• A combat showdown remains a combat showdown until the end, regardless of whether it becomes unopposed
• Effects like Yi's +2 attack bonus persist even if the attacking unit is moved
• Units can be removed or killed during combat (e.g., via Hexbolt) after becoming unopposed
