Hi Rules Guys,
How would these cards interact if played by different players? Can a personality that performed Reckless Rush be bowed before battle resolution by Heart of Darkness?
Heart of Darkness Before this battle's resolution: Choose and bow zero to two cards at the current battlefield with 4 or greater Force. Battle: If no Terrain is at the current battlefield: Put this card into play there.
Reckless Rush Battle: Bow your performing Personality and target an enemy card without attachments: Bow it. Destroy it if it is an attachment or its base Gold Cost is 0. Before this battle's resolution, straighten your Personality.
Thanks!
Anthony

The triggered trait from Heart of Darkness and the delayed effect from Reckless Rush have the same timing, "Before this battle's resolution," and both trigger in Step C of the Timing Sequence, so the active player decides.
