Question

How do card effects like Height Advantage or Vision’s Intangible Mass Form that reduce the damage taken from attacks interact with the Tough status condition? If the damage would be reduced to 0 by one of these effects, does the tough still come off?

Answer

A Tough status card will take precedence over damage-reducing abilities, such as Height Advantage. This is still the case even if the damage that would be dealt would amount to 0 from the damage-reducing abilities.

The Tough status card would be taken off of a character should damage be directed at that character, even if there are abilities in play that would reduce the damage that the hero would take.
