Answer

Yes on the copy, no on losing Temporary.

Unit A becomes a full copy of Hwei while Shady Spectacles stays attached: it gains Hwei's name, Unit+Champion type, Ionia/Hwei tags, 5 cost, Mind domain, rules text (the "When I move, draw 1, then discard 1…" ability), and Might 5 (; Might is part of the copied traits). One catch: copy effects only copy copyable traits, which are the printed traits (). Statuses on Hwei (empowered, buffs, etc.) are not copied, and any of unit A's own statuses stay.

Temporary is not overwritten. It's a status, not a copyable trait, so it remains on unit A and it will still die at the start of your next Beginning Phase (FAQ #11745; ). Temporary only goes away if Hwei's own rules text were granting it — it isn't, so your unit keeps the Temporary it already had.

Rules update

The answer's reasoning depends on the list of copyable traits (old 477.1.b.1.a), which was removed, so its claim that only copyable traits are copied (and why Temporary stays) must be re-verified against the new copy rules.

**Yes on the copy, no on losing Temporary.** Unit A becomes a full copy of Hwei while Shady Spectacles stays attached: it gains Hwei's name, Unit+Champion type, Ionia/Hwei tags, 5 cost, Mind domain, rules text (the "When I move, draw 1, then discard 1…" ability), and Might 5 (Rule 479.1.b.1; Might is part of the copied traits). One catch: copy effects only copy copyable traits, which are the printed traits (Rule 479.1.b.1). Statuses on Hwei (empowered, buffs, etc.) are *not* copied, and any of unit A's own statuses stay. **Temporary is not overwritten.** It's a status, not a copyable trait, so it remains on unit A and it will still die at the start of your next Beginning Phase (FAQ #11745; Rule 816.1.b). Temporary only goes away if Hwei's own rules text were granting it — it isn't, so your unit keeps the Temporary it already had.
