Forum:Heroic Guard's effect

I'm a little confused about this Heroic Guard's effect. Or, actually what is this card's effect? here, the lore says it increase your life points equal to the Tributed monster's ATK, which i'm not sure how to calculate it. Gauche's life points went from 3000 to 1400. 1600 damage. i thought it was negating the battle damage, then take damage equal to the tributed monster's original ATK, which is 1600 (Heroic Challenger Spartas' original atk). can someone help me clarify this? 24.83.215.20 (talk) 21:32, June 11, 2012 (UTC)
