Im sure this has been resolved before but I cant find it and there was some confusion on it at the last weekly tourney at my gameshop. When killing a unit with 7th tower does the bowed unit count as 0 for porposes of me killing it. for example I have a 2 force crab and my opponent has a 21 force akuma but it is bowed can I use the box to kill it.

Using the advanced search function (upper right corner of this page) for "Tower bowed" gave me several hits:
