The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game – Revised Core Set

← All The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game – Revised Core Set questions

If a defending Gondorian Spearman's defender damage kills a 1-hit-point Hill Troll, does the Troll still attack?

No. The Spearman's damage resolves as soon as it is declared as a defender, before the Troll's attack, so the Troll is destroyed first and does not attack.
