Question

As we continue to anticipate the arrival of Mutant Genesis, and especially the Colossus hero, we have some questions regarding Tough, and Piercing. 1. If my hero has a Tough status card, I exhaust to defend an enemy attack, and my DEF reduces the damage of that attack to 0, does my Tough status card stay on my hero? 2. Is the result of the same situation any different if that attack has the Piercing keyword? 3. If an attack with the Piercing keyword is somehow reduced to 0 damage by some ability, would the Piercing keyword have any effect? Namely, would a Colossus with 2 toughs lose *both* toughs in such a situation? (For example, if he interrupts a Piercing attack with Subdue and it results in 0 ATK.) 4. Colossus has a tough status card and is about to take damage from an attack with the Piercing keyword. Piercing triggers and removes his Tough status card. If Colossus activates the Response of Organic Steel, giving himself a new Tough status card, would Piercing trigger again and remove that new Tough?
