Rules Q&A
- Q: so we are in battle and my opponent uses the battle action on "the inevitable grasp of conquest" my cards will not destroy his personalities at this battle. how does this effect interact with the Yu trait?
A: Per a literal reading of the Yu Rules, it would seem pretty clear that the card with the "Yu" keyword is what is doing the destroying:
"If one or more cards with the Yu keyword are in a losing army during Battle Resolution, each may destroy an enemy Follower, or an enemy Personality without Followers, that has Force less than or equal to the losing card’s Yu value. Multiple cards may also combine their Yu values to destroy a single card, but one card may not split its Yu to destroy multiple cards."
Thus, the Celestial would indeed negate that effect. Brook Cunningham, "Sun and Moon #rules-questions", 8 Feb 2025
