When attacking with multiple units against multiple defending units affected by Yi's legend ability (which gives +2 might when a friendly unit is destroyed), do the defending units die simultaneously from combat damage, or does Yi's ability trigger between kills?

Question

Accepted Answer

Ruling: All combat damage is dealt simultaneously, so both defending units die at the same time and Yi's legend ability does not trigger to boost the second unit during this combat.

Sequence:
- Combat damage is assigned in a specific order
- All assigned combat damage is dealt simultaneously
- Units that would be destroyed by combat damage are destroyed at the same time

Nuances:
- If one of the defending units were to leave combat before combat damage is dealt (through some other effect), then Yi's ability would trigger and the remaining unit would gain +2 might before combat damage
