Deal damage abilities no longer depend on the survival of the unit triggering it.

Example: If a card has a deal damage ability, it will activate even if the unit is destroyed in the process of an attack. This is unless the card specifically states "and Survives".

Ilana, Keeper of the Vault

When a card’s health doesn’t change due to protection from “Cannot be destroyed”, it still triggers damage events.

Example: If a card is at 1 Health and Ilana’s ability stops it from being destroyed, the card will still activate abilities from when it receives damage. i.e. Mizra Loyalist

Message from the Game Team

Welcome to the THUNDR-01 dome.

Super excited for Planetfall to come in and shake things up. With new cards coming in alongside some much needed balance changes, it's going to be a beautiful mess. Things are going to seem broken and others unplayable but what that really means is you haven't figured it out yet. It might also mean we haven't either. So don't be afraid and don't get too attached, things are bound to change. If you want to hear a little bit more about the team and the process know there is a new podcast episode coming this week. Just remember this time because its bound to be fun and exciting.
