Power of The Night Battle: Choose your performing unbowed Ninja Personality, bow him if he is not Shadowlands, and target a Personality: Before this battle resolves, give him -3C.
Feign Death Reaction: After the resolution of an action or a battle that destroyed a performing Personality you own: Bring him into play (in your home), ignoring costs and Honor Requirement. Bow him. Dishonor him. Lose 2 Honor.
I had a question about feign death against power of the night. The power of the night goes off at the end of the battle and feign death says at the resolution of a action. So is feign death ale to react to power of the night?

You can't react with Feign Death to Power of the Night because the -3C hasn't happened when the resolution of Power of the Night ends. So you can't fulfil the trigger "After the resolution of an action or a battle that destroyed a performing Personality", because at the timing point when you have to react (after the resolution of Power of the Night) it hasn't destroyed your personality yet.
