I was talking with another judge concerning the new ruling with "action cards losing their target will still resolve" and we we're asking ourselves if it is true for attacking allies that die before the resolution of their attack.

Nothing about attacks changes with the rules update.

It might be a language barrier thing because it's a bit foggy for me

Riggermortis attacks and is killed in the reaction step, if it had go again will the attack still resolve?

Same goes for the other way around eg. Cindra vs Prism?

#

I suppose the damage part will fizzle but not the rest?

if the attack leaves the chain before the damage step the chain closes.
If the attack target ceases to exist before a specific point at the start of the attack step the chain closes

#

Nothing about these interactions is changing with this rules update

"If the attack target ceases to exist before a specific point at the start of the attack step the chain closes"
So if the ally dies after the attack step the chain stays open?
And this has always been like this?

If you are targeting an ally with an attack and that ally is killed during the layer step the chain closes. This is how it has always worked. That is how spectra works.

It's mostly for a flick knives interaction vs an angel that is attacked with go again that I'm stuck at

The reaction step is after the check of "is the attack target still there"

#

There is exactly one time the game checks "is there an attack target"

7.2.2 First, at least one of the attack's attack-targets [1.4.5] must still be a legal target. Otherwise, the Attack Step ends and the Close Step begins. [7.7]

7.2.2a Only one target needs to be legal at this point of combat. If all attack-targets cease to be legal after this point, combat will continue.
