1374010:Combat damage as such doesn't use chain, so you can't do it "in response". But you can heal your hero in the defend window of the combat step. This happens before the damage packet has been created/dealt.
You're right. I wrote before combat conclusion, as you heal when the opponent declares the attack, or in the defend window.
When I used in response, it was referring to Myriam's power.
Thanks for clearing it up.

Props to darknesspwns for the sig
