If a unit is damaged by a Singularity and then an opponent's unit is removed before damage is assigned in combat, does the damaged unit heal back to full health at the end of combat?

Ruling: Yes, the watcher heals back to full health. Once combat has been initiated, you always go through all combat steps including Resolution, where healing occurs.

Sequence:

• Combat is initiated (Showdown phase begins)
• Before Damage step, the recruit is removed via Void Seekers
• Combat continues through all phases
• During Resolution phase, healing happens
• The watcher heals from 1 health back to full (7 health)

Nuances:

• Combat consists of three main parts: Showdown, Damage, and Resolution
• Many players incorrectly think only the Damage step counts as "combat"
• Healing occurs during Resolution regardless of whether damage was actually assigned in the Damage step
