Expansion card questions: What would happen if Kang has Temporal Shield equipped, as well as a tough status card, and takes damage?…

⚠ This ruling is from an older rules version (Hall of Heroes (rules 1.0–1.4)) and might be outdated.

Question

What would happen if Kang has Temporal Shield equipped, as well as a tough status card, and takes damage? What is the order in which any of these would clear/be removed?

Answer

Its timing happens before damage is dealt, when the attack itself is initiated. Because of this, Temporal Shield resolves entirely before the tough status card, meaning the tough status card will have no damage to prevent and will not be discarded.
