Final Girl
Can I use Guard or other Reaction cards against health loss shown as a heart with a slash?
The designers answered this directly, and it matches the rulebook's text.

No — the heart-with-a-slash icon is unpreventable health loss. Damage shown with the starburst/blast icon or a knife attack can be answered with Reaction cards, even when a Terror card rather than a Killer attack causes it. For enemies, health loss works about the same as damage.
