Question

For the minion: Black Order Infantry.

Their “When Defeated” ability is giving villain a tough status card. If my attack with overkill defeated the minion, which of the scenario is correct?

A: Damage villain first then give it “Tough”

B: Give the villain “Tough” first, then remove “Tough” with overkill.

I think it may be A, as the overkill is a simultaneous damage to both villain and minion, then the “When Defeated” ability set in.

Answer

Since the damage would be dealt simultaneously, the villain would be given a tough status card AFTER overkill damage is applied & Black Order Infantry triggers its “When Defeated” effect.
