I couldn't find a card named "Aurok General" anywhere in the card database — no match for "Aurok," "General," or a Legend by that name. I'm not able to give a precise ruling without locating the card text.

If you can confirm the exact card name (or a card with similar text), I can look it up and answer. In the meantime, here's how Switcheroo generally behaves with Empowered units based on loaded rules:

  • Switcheroo (Rule 433.1) calculates the difference between both units' current Might at the moment it resolves — that includes any passive bonuses from Empowered abilities (e.g., "+X Might while Empowered") — then applies a fixed +X/−X modifier to each unit for the turn (FAQ #645, #8531).
  • The Empowered status itself is not swapped — it's a status (Rule 441.1.a), not a numeric value. Only the Might values are swapped. After the swap, each unit keeps its own Empowered status and its Empowered-derived passives continue to apply on top of the swapped values.
  • If the swap triggers a "when I become Empowered"-type ability, it fires on the Chain after Switcheroo fully resolves (FAQ #1468 sequencing).

If you can clarify the exact name of "Aurok General" (or paste its ability text), I'll give you the full ruling on how its Empowered interaction works with Switcheroo.
