Question

19 – I was reading the new 1.5 rules reference and I understand that an ally or minion with a tough status card would prevent any simultaneously dealt excess damage with overkill from actually being dealt to a hero or villain. I’m wondering if it’s meant to work the same for an attack or effect that just checks for excess damage but without Overkill? For example, Rocket Raccoons hero ability “Murdered you”. Could you deal 5 damage without overkill to a minion with 3 HP that has a tough status card and trigger his ability to draw a card?
