So, according to the Q&A, it seems to verify that cards like Glory Seeker, Dragon Heart, etc... will not work, but simple Life Gain cards/abilities will.

Really, every build that can use Generic, can simply cast Benefit, assuming they have a Size 2 or less Monster on the field to send to the drop. Since it resolves before the Impact, you'd gain 2 life before being dealt damage.

The point being that while you cannot reduce damage,it doesn't say you cannot gain life.

They covered this by addressing how Dragoguts would work against this if the non-turn player was at 5 life when it was used, which is a simple net gain of 2 life before the Impact resolves.

So, for most builds, using a card/ability that simply gains life during the non-turn player timing will be the easy choice.
