That's a good question and I don't consider this matter definitively resolved at all. My inclination is that the only time cards don't all apply their damage at the same time is when you're buying multiple cards during the buy cards step of your turn - in that case each card effect should trigger separately, I think?Don't make it more complex that it should.

Weird unpredictable case coming up? Use your best judgement. It's just a game after all.

Personally I couldn't ever be satisfied with that lol. This may be more a question about Acid Attack than Armor Plating, but we have someone in our group who insists that his armor plating protects him from an Acid Attacker who rolls one claw and then does an extra damage with Acid Attack. The rest of us assumed that Acid Attack does its damage at (or around) the same time as damage from claws, but then he found this

where it states :
Armor Plating - if it reduces an attack to 0, a card like Acid Attack has no effect. Armor Plating works on each source of damage during a turn.
I'm not as inclined to trust that document as I am a statement from Richard Garfield obviously, but questions were then raised about the authenticity of posts on this forum. All in all it got rather heated - does anyone know for a fact how timing on damage works - if I have a spiked tail and an acid attack and poison quills, and roll one claw and three 2's, all five damage is applied at the same time, and Armor Plating doesn't trigger, right?
