Answer

Ruling: Yes, units heal after combat as long as a combat was started, even if combat damage is skipped or a unit is moved away before damage is dealt.

Sequence:

  • Combat must be initiated (unit moves to occupied battlefield)
  • Even if a unit is moved to base during the showdown (e.g., via Flash)
  • After the showdown closes and after the combat damage step
  • In the combat resolution step, all units heal

Nuances:

  • If combat wasn't started (unit moves to unoccupied battlefield for non-combat showdown), units will not heal
  • Only combat heals units
  • All units in play heal all damage after combat ends, regardless of which battlefield the combat occurred on or how the damage was dealt
