Cable Askani’son damage removal.

[Atomicfryingpan]

With Cable's Askani'son attack it says if the attack deals damage, after the attack is resolved remove 1 damage from this character. When allies are hit by beams and area attacks from other friendly models they take an automatic 1 damage. Would this trigger the damage removal from Askani'son

[Negoldar]

A character cannot target an allied character with an attack so the Askani’son attack cannot deal the damage required to trigger the damage removal.
