Passing and swooping attacks do not make base-to-base contact, so they do not count as melee combat. Therefore, if the target of a passing/swooping attack is the beneficiary of poisoned weapons, or abilities such as Frenzied Warriors or Burning Brands, those benefits are not removed due to a passing/swooping attack made against them.

However, if the target is able to make a successful counter-attack (where allowed to do so), those benefits are lost.

If the model performing the passing/swooping attack has a single-combat item or ability like those listed above, they will always lose those benefits following a successful passing/swooping attack.
