If a unit is damaged before combat, then combat damage is prevented (e.g., by Hidden Blades removing the opposing unit), does the damaged unit still heal during combat cleanup?
Ruling: Yes, combat cleanup still occurs even when the combat damage step is skipped, so units heal marked damage at that time.
Sequence:
- Combat damage step is skipped when no units deal combat damage
- Combat cleanup step still occurs
- Units heal marked damage during combat cleanup
Nuances:
- Units heal to 0 marked damage (not to a specific health value, as units don't have health in Riftbound)
