In Riftbound combat, does the attacker assign damage to their own units or to the opponent's units?
Ruling: Each player assigns their units' might as damage to enemy units. The attacker assigns damage first, then the defender assigns damage. No units die during assignment - after both players have assigned damage, all damage is dealt simultaneously and units with damage equal to or greater than their might are defeated.
Sequence:
- Attacker assigns their units' damage to defender's units
- Defender assigns their units' damage to attacker's units
- All damage is dealt simultaneously
- Units with damage equal to or greater than their might are defeated simultaneously
Nuances:
- Damage assignment does not deal damage; damage is only dealt after both players complete assignment
- Players cannot assign damage to their own units to protect other units
