Hey, if I play idol gossip and take all my opponent's heroes out of the main battle in the process of starting the side battle does Special Innitiative kick in ? Or does SI kick in if the hero loses in the side battle leaving no heroes in the Field of Battle? Basically I am asking at what point can you negate a side battle card.
SI
When you are losing the battle by removal, you are granted special initiative to play an Enhancement that will interrupt or negate the card that is causing your charact’s removal. You are considered to be losing by removal when an opponent’s special ability, or a game rule that has been triggered by an opponent’s special ability, would leave you with no character in battle when the special ability has completed.
