When Last Stand is resolved on a defending Shen (who has 3 base Might + 2 from Shield passive = 5 Might, doubled to 10), what is Shen's Might after combat ends and Shield is no longer active?

Answer

Ruling: Shen will have 8 Might after combat ends. Last Stand snapshots Shen's current Might (5) and doubles it to 10 during combat. When combat ends and Shield is no longer active, Shen loses the 2 Might from Shield, resulting in 8 Might.

Sequence:

  • Shen starts with 3 base Might
  • While defending, Shield passive grants +2 Might (total 5)
  • Last Stand resolves, doubling current Might to 10
  • Combat ends, Shield passive stops applying
  • Shen loses the 2 Might from Shield, ending at 8 Might

Nuances:

  • Last Stand is not a passive effect; it applies once when resolved and does not continuously update
  • The effect can be interpreted as "give +X Might where X is the unit's current Might" rather than a continuous doubling modifier
  • If Shen defends again that turn, the interaction would need separate consideration
  • Alternative interpretations of 6 Might (if doubling only base Might) or 10 Might (if the doubled value is locked) were discussed but deemed less likely
