Sorry for bringing this up again. The answer still left me with some confusion I think I worded my question poorly.
My stronghold is The Seventh Tower, I have a Crab guy with 4F opposing one 2F personality with a 1F follower in battle. The opponent takes one action to bow my 4F personality.
Can I use the ability on The Seventh Tower targeting my bowed 4F personality to destroy the 3F unit opposing him?

Yes, your personality still has 4 force, even though his unit counts for 0.
