Expansion card questions: Will you help us out with the protection ally Nightcrawler and his ability, do these two rulings contradict?…

⚠ This ruling is from an older rules version (Hall of Heroes (rules 1.0–1.4)) and might be outdated.

Question

Will you help us out with the protection ally Nightcrawler and his ability, do these two rulings contradict? https://hallofheroeslcg.com/latest-ffg-rulings/#latest#95 https://hallofheroeslcg.com/latest-ffg-rulings/#latest#242 #95 seems to rule that the attack is considered undefended when nightcrawler defends and leaves play with his ability and #242 seems to rule that the attack is still considered defended when nightcrawler defends and leaves play with his ability. We understand the damage is prevented either way but it matters for other interactions.

Answer

Yes, those two rulings are in conflict, but the newer one is more in line with other recent rulings we’ve made. We believe that if Nightcrawler defends an attack, that attack will be considered defended, even if he leaves play due to his ability.
