Using a durability restoring effect during combat
Ruling issued on November 18th 2024

Situation:
I have an Energy Collector, which is about to be destroyed in combat. Spending Invader resources restores my Energy Collector's durability. Can I play an action to spend Invader resources, restoring my Energy Collector's durability and saving it from being destroyed in combat?

Ruling:
Actions pause the game in its current state. If you play the action before your opponent attacks your Energy Collector, then yes, you can restore its durability and potentially save it. However, if you wait until after your opponent has announced their attack, it is too late: the Energy Collector will already have been destroyed.
