This question also applies to similar cards; Undaunted and Superhuman Durability.
So, the cards state that whenever (Hero) would be dealt >5 damage from a single source, reduce it by 2.
Am I correct in saying here that this does not have to come from a single “attack”? This didn’t really come up pre-RC, but now it actually comes up a lot:
Spite: On his turn with all his drug cards out DK=2 damage, Phyre=2 damage, basic attack=2 to all but lowest. This adds up to 6 damage from a single source (Spite). Does Shielding Winds activate?
Plague Rat: Vicious Onslaught deals 2 toxic damage and 2 melee damage. If on advanced mode or with Plague Locus in play, 3+3 damage= 6 damage from one source (plague Rat) but again, over multiple “attacks”.
Matriarch: When you kill a lot of birds its quite possible thatt >5 damage could be coming in to a hero from one source (matriarch) , especially if Huginn/Muninn are in play, increasing her damage. Carrion Fields can create the same effect when destroying a lot of birds.
Also, would this like a “per round” kind of thing? I’m assuming yes but I have really not much to base it off of.
