Emphasys by me...
Razor of the Dawn Castle Before another player's card's effect destroys one of your Samurai: Once per turn, you may delay the destruction until the current turn ends.
Kyuden Ashinagabachi After each of your Ranged Attacks resolves: If it did not destroy its target, reduce the target's Force by the Ranged Attack's strength.
What happens if I produce a ranged 4 attack targeting a personality with 4 force controlled by the Crab player? The ranged attack would destroy the personality... So the stronghold delays if, and then Kyuden Ashinagabachi's trait would reduce his force?
Thanks,
Javier
