If a 1 Might unit attacks and then Grand Stratagem (+5 to all friendly units) is played during showdown, does Nine-Tailed Fox's Might reduction still affect the unit?

Ruling: Might reduction effects like Nine-Tailed Fox only check the unit's Might when the effect is being applied. If the unit is at 1 Might when Nine-Tailed Fox's effect applies, it will not be reduced, and can then be buffed by Grand Stratagem afterward.

Sequence:

• Nine-Tailed Fox's effect applies and checks the unit's Might
• If the unit has 1 Might, the reduction does not apply
• Grand Stratagem is played during showdown
• The unit is buffed to 6 Might (1 + 5)

Nuances:

• Might reduction effects only check at the moment they are applied, not continuously throughout combat
