If you stun an attacking unit (e.g., with purple Draven) and the enemy unit is recalled, do you win the combat and gain a point with Draven?

Answer

Ruling: Based on a Chinese FAQ, "winning a battle" is checked after combat cleanup and all derived cleanup actions are complete. This means that if a stunned attacker is recalled (creating a situation where only one player has units remaining), the defending player wins combat.

Sequence:

  • Combat damage occurs
  • Combat cleanup happens (including recalls from stuns)
  • After all cleanup actions complete, the game checks who won combat
  • If only one player has units remaining at this point, that player wins

Nuances:

  • Symbol of the Solari describes a situation where both players have units after combat damage as a "tie," but the Chinese FAQ indicates this same situation counts as a win for the defender after cleanup
  • Reminder text on Draven legend states "You win if only your units remain after combat" but reminder text is not official rules text
  • This ruling means a defending Draven would gain a point before being conquered by the attacker
  • The comprehensive rules do not currently have explicit clarification on this interaction
