Certain cards cause two characters to fight each other in what is referred as a side battle. An example is Troops Discharged, a gold brigade evil enhancement that reads, "Select two Evil Characters in play to fight each other." This immediately requires two characters to fight a new battle. The original battle is temporarily suspended until the side battle is completed. The side battle is still part of the same Battle Phase because the main battle has not yet concluded. After the side battle is resolved, all surviving characters return to their previous locations. Non surviving characters and their enhancements are discarded. Surviving characters that return to the main battle bring their enhancements to the main battle. Any ongoing effects of special abilities are applied (e.g., immunity) to the main battle unless that special ability was exhausted in the side battle (e.g., a draw a card). Rules for initiative in the original battle resume. Only one side battle may be initiated by a player each turn.
