When Smokescreen is played on a unit that is on Trifarian War Camp (which gives +1 might), does the battlefield bonus get reduced separately or does Smokescreen reduce the total might including the battlefield bonus?

Answer

Ruling: Smokescreen reduces the total might of the unit including any battlefield bonuses. The battlefield effect is not calculated separately - all positive modifiers are calculated first, then negative modifiers are applied to that total.

Sequence:

  • Calculate all positive might modifiers (base might + battlefield bonuses + other buffs)
  • Apply Smokescreen's reduction to that total (reduce by half, minimum 1)
  • The reduction amount stays fixed for the rest of the turn, even if the unit moves and loses the battlefield bonus
  • If the unit leaves the battlefield that turn, it can drop below 1 might (even to 0 or negative)

Nuances:

  • Smokescreen calculates its reduction once based on current might, then applies that fixed reduction for the rest of the turn
  • If a unit moves after being Smokescreened, the reduction stays but the battlefield bonus is lost, potentially resulting in 0 or negative might
  • Units at 0 might stay alive unless damaged
  • Might reduction is not the same as damage
  • Negative might is treated as 0 for interactions, but still counts from the negative value for subsequent might alterations
