Locked in Combat: Basic Action Card
Target a character die from each player's Field Zone and set them aside until end of turn (then return them to play at their previous level).
When they return to the Field Zone, deal each 2 damage.
Suppose a character die with 3 Defense was dealt 1 point of damage, then Locked in Combat was used targeting that die. Does that die retain the 1 point of damage from before it went out of play and thus KO'd? Or once the die leaves play it would lose any and all damage and/or applied abilities.
