Redemption® Rulebook > Situation Descriptions > Losing the BattleLosing by Removal because of a Special AbilityA Hero is losing by removal if the Hero is being captured, discarded, returned to territory, or otherwise removed from battle by an opposing special ability. You have initiative, but you may only play an enhancement that has an “interrupt” or “negate” special ability [and only if it will interrupt or negate the special ability that is causing your character to be losing by removal].More:Example – Losing by special abilityYou are making a rescue attempt with Guiding Angel, a silver brigade Hero with abilities of 7/7. Your opponent blocks with the Evil Character Er, a pale green brigade Evil Character with abilities of 6/6. Since Er is losing, the opponent has initiative to play an evil enhancement. Your opponent plays Slave Trade. There are no abilities (numbers) on this card, but its special ability reads, “Capture any Hero in play and place in your Land of Bondage. Hero is treated as a Lost Soul.” This is causing Guiding Angel to be losing by removal. You have initiative, but you may only play an enhancement if the enhancement will “interrupt” or “negate” Slave Trade. Otherwise, your opponent will capture Guiding Angel and place him in his Land of Bondage.

Could you actually target a fortress with My Lord and My God if you are losing by removal? It negates the card it targets, but it doesn't interrupt the battle. So you would have to target the EE removing your hero, right?
