Answer

Ruling: Sett Brawler will not die when reduced to 0 Might after the buff is removed. Units only die when they have non-zero damage on them, not from having 0 Might alone.

Sequence:

  • Smoke Screen reduces Sett Brawler to minimum 1 Might while buffed
  • When the buff is removed (e.g., by activating Sett leader ability), Sett becomes 0 Might
  • Sett survives at 0 Might unless he takes any non-zero damage

Nuances:

  • A unit at 0 Might will die if it takes any amount of non-zero damage afterward
  • Removing Sett's buff via the leader ability also increases his Might, which should be considered in the calculation
  • When Sett is recalled to base, damage is removed but Might modifiers remain (the unit retains modifiers as the same game object)

Does this answer look correct?
