Toughness Interactions with Negative Modifiers

By netgeist, in Warhammer Invasion Rules Questions

Loving the rules of this game and still learning the card relationships. Despite their being a lot of info about Toughness in terms of direct and indirect damage on the 'net, I can't seem to find info regarding the effect of negative modifiers.

For example, a card like Malekith's Throne can cause -1 hit points for a unit with no developments in their zone. Would this negate toughness, since there is no damage assigned?

Also, what about a card like Valkia that moves damage? Is that indirect damage?

If anyone can point out where in the guide this is addressed, it would really help.

Thanks,

1/ Toughness has nothing to deal with HP reduction since reduction isn't damage.

2/ if a damage doesn't state "indirect" it is not indirect. Valkia's moving damage isn't applying damage and so isn't affected by damage cancelation effects like toughness. And the controller of Valkia chooses the target.

Thanks Virgo! I don't know which version of the FAQ I read after a did a search. It covered indirect damage but not redirecting or moving damage.

This one's perfect. Is it the latest version?

I wouldn't have posted any other ;)

Fair enough! It is very appreciated. This one has a lot of answers in it that I was hoping to find.
