Does a hero keep Tough if an interrupt like Side Step prevents all the incoming damage?
The official Rules Reference states this directly.

No. The Rules Reference FAQ says status cards have priority over triggered abilities such as interrupts, so Tough is discarded to prevent the damage first. A relayed FFG reply quoted in the forum said Tough would be kept, but that conflicts with the Reference. You keep Tough only when a constant effect or a basic defense reduces the damage to zero.
