Rulings

From the Outsiders release notes

Vambrace of Determination reduces the maximum amount of damage a prevention effect can prevent on a single event of damage.
Vambrace of Determination’s effect applies to ANY kind of prevention effect, as long as the damage that it is preventing is damage.
If it is a fixed-prevention effect (e.g. “The next time you’d be dealt damage, prevent 3 of that damage.”) it would simply prevent 1 less of that damage (e.g. it would essentially become “prevent 2 of that damage”).
If it is an ongoing-prevention effect (e.g. “Prevent the next 3 damage dealt to your hero.”) it would simply reduce the prevention amount (e.g. it would essentially become “Prevent the next 2 damage dealt to your hero.)
Vambrace of Determination does not reduce the of defending cards or their effectiveness during damage calculation in the damage step of combat.
If the opponent controls multiple prevention effects that could apply to an event of damage, they choose which of those effects apply first. Vambrace of Determination’s effect only applies to the first of those effects that prevent the damage.
