Ok this came up this past week and I was unsure of the latest ruling. Ok so here's the low down- Timmy is attacking Johnny. Johnny blocks and gives initiative to Timmy. Timmy plays a side battle card and chooses the evil character that Johnny is using to fight in the side battle. I always thought that if your character is being pushed out of battle then you have initiative to negate. With a side battle I am being pushed out, do I have initiative to play a negate, or does it go to the side battle and if I live then I can negate? If the second one is right, then that does not go along with the rules, and previous rulings on initiative. Someone let me know the answer to this please.

If you are losing and have initiative in the side battle, you can negate it (I think). But if you are losing in the side battle you can't negate.
-
Wait what? You said the same thing twice but said yes to one and no to the other lol.
-
My understanding is that you have to allow the side battle to complete before you are afforded the opportunity to negate it from the main battle.
In the scenario above, if you are pushed into a side battle you cannot play an interrupt until after the side battle completes. If your main-battle character ends up getting discarded or captured or whatever in the side battle, when the main battle resumes you may play an interrupt on that character (provided you have initiative).

If I'm Johnny in the side battle and I play Devourer, what happens to the side battle?
Devourer
Type: Evil Enh. • Brigade: Black • Ability: 2 / 3 • Class: None • Special Ability: Interrupt and discard all good enhancements now in play. • Identifiers: OT, Connected with Demons • Verse: Malachi 3:11 • Availability: Warriors booster packs (Rare)

The side battle never took place. That is, everything goes back to how it was, except the playing of enhancements, which cannot be interrupted (I'm pretty sure).

Yes, yes I did. I meant that if you are in the side battle and are WINNING, you can't negate the side battle.
