Overkill

If an ally takes any amount of excess damage from an attack with the overkill keyword, simultaneously deal damage equal to the excess amount to the identity of the player who controls the ally.

If a minion takes any amount of excess damage from an attack with the overkill keyword, simultaneously deal damage equal to the excess amount to the villain.

• Damage dealt by overkill to an identity or villain is considered damage from an attack, but does not constitute an attack against that character.

• If a card ability counts excess damage dealt, that ability counts the same value of excess damage that is calculated when resolving the overkill keyword.

• When an ally or minion with a tough status card is dealt excess damage by an attack with the overkill keyword, overkill damage is not dealt to the identity of that ally’s controller or to the villain, respectively.
