Riftbound Stun: what it does

Glossary

Stun is the Riftbound game action of rendering one or more units Stunned — a binary state that stops a unit contributing its Might to combat damage. A Stunned unit can't be Stunned again while it's already in that state, and it loses Stunned automatically during end-of-turn cleanup, but it still needs damage equal to its full Might to actually be killed.

What being Stunned actually does

A Stunned unit is simply skipped over when combat damage is dealt — its Might doesn't count toward the damage its side deals that combat. It's a binary status: a unit is Stunned or it isn't, so re-Stunning an already-Stunned unit changes nothing and won't trigger effects that care about the act of stunning something. Stunned wears off during step 3d of end-of-turn cleanup.

Stun vs killing a unit

Stunning takes a unit out of a single combat's damage math without removing it from the board — it still needs to take damage equal to its full Might (not a reduced amount) to actually die, and it's back to normal the following turn. That makes Stun a tempo tool for winning one specific fight, not a way to permanently deal with a threat. See the Game Actions guide for how it compares to Riftbound's other combat-disrupting effects.
