Question

46 – I was hoping you would help me understand this situation. I’ve seen two rulings on hallofheroes that seem to conflict with each other. One states if you reveal a treachery like icy grip that stuns you while playing return the favor, that the stun would prevent you from dealing the 5 damage. I’ve also seen a ruling that states when you attack with swift retribution and you get stunned by a boost effect, the stun does not prevent you from dealing the 4 damage and that stun only prevents you from initiating an attack.

Answer

Thank you for your question. Our current ruling is this: a stunned status card prevents the initiation of an attack, but does not prevent an attack that was already initiated from completing. If you become stunned during an attack, but have already initiated the attack, you will still deal damage from the attack.
