Spectral Shield

Ward 1

Rulings

From the Monarch release notes
  • This is not optional, if you would be dealt damage you must destroy Spectral Shield and prevent 1 damage that source would deal.
  • If you have multiple Spectral Shields in play you choose which prevent effect to apply first. If you are taking multiple damage you must prevent all of it with Spectral Shields if able. (You would be dealt the excess damage)
  • Loss of life is not being dealt damage and would not destroy Spectral Shield or prevent the 1 damage.

Keyword notes

Ward X - If your hero would be dealt damage, prevent X of that damage and destroy this.
  • Ward is a static ability that generates a fixed-prevention effect.
  • The prevention effect is not optional. It applies whenever damage would be dealt to your hero.
  • If another prevention effect reduces a damage event to 0, the replacement condition is no longer met (damage would not be dealt), so Ward would not apply.
  • The prevention amount applies to a single damage event. The leftover prevention amount does not apply to any future damage that would be dealt to your hero.
  • If the damage prevention can not be applied due to an effect, the object with Ward on it is still destroyed as part of the replacement effect application.
