When Kato the Arm goes to trash with its ability on the chain, does the ability reference Kato's stats (might and deflect) from when it was on the board or from the trash?

Ruling: When a unit leaves the board before its ability resolves, no information about that unit can be referenced unless the ability specifically mentions the zone it's referencing from. The ability cannot access any stats from the unit in trash.

Nuances:

• Temporary modifications cease when a unit changes zones to or from a non-board zone
• Units that leave the board are not considered the same object when they return
• Riftbound does not have "last known information" rules like some other games
• The ability would need to explicitly reference the trash zone to access information from a unit there
