Yes and no.
It technically enters play on the starting line, which can't be healed past. It takes damage after it enters play, though, and that damage can be healed, back up to the starting line.

The click they come in on is the starting line. (It just deals unavoidable to them afterwards. None of the figures have a second starting line.)

so have we reached a conclusion?

Yes, a conclusion has been reached. Which question would you like answered again?

If a pulse wave KOs someone with SUMMON ANCESTRAL SPIRIT can you use the ability?

yes is the answer.

No, the trait is ignored.

poppycock!

I'm only writing this so I can say "poppycock"

i don't like but i appeal direct to wizkids. pulse wave will it ignore the power.

What do you mean you appeal it to WK?

nevermind figured it out myself.

If a stop click doesn't say it can't be ignored, then Pulse Wave is going to ignore it.

Well possible trolling aside, would the pulsewave not 1. deal damage, 2. damage gets applied, 3. action resolves, and finally "after action effects" (knockback and KOs).

In other words, I PW rolling sucessfully with doubles, determine damage dealt (damage value, EE, multiple targets replacing my damage with 1, etc.), apply damage (turn the dial), and finally check for knockback (and apply knockback damage if valid, not ignoring abilities).

Knockback occurs during the action after damage from the attack is applied. It will occur before the pulse wave ends, so all powers will still be ignored.

KOs happen immediately, not after actions resolve.

Resurrection!!!!

I don't know, it seems to me after you deal damage, PW is resolved and therefore you could use the trait. You don't take feedback from Mystics because it says "when you take damage from an attack", and taking damage from an attack is part of the PW action and therefore ignored. Is KOing a figure and removing them from the map part of the PW action? I guess what I'm getting at is, at what point EXACTLY, does PW resolve?

...And then I read the post above mine, the end. Ok, go to sleep. Nothing to see here.
