If my unit is killed during a showdown after I pass focus, can I still play actions since focus returns to me, or does the showdown end immediately?

Ruling: Both players must pass focus consecutively without playing anything for combat to resolve and end. After a chain resolves, focus automatically passes back to you, allowing you to play actions even if your unit was killed.

Sequence:

• Player passes focus
• Opponent plays a reaction (like Void Seeker) instead of passing
• The chain resolves
• Focus automatically returns to the player who passed first
• That player can now play actions again
• Combat only ends when both players pass focus consecutively

Nuances:

• This works the same whether you are attacking or defending
• Even if your unit is killed and you are no longer contesting the battlefield, combat does not end until both players pass focus
