When Fiora is defending with Fortified Position, does she become 7 Might (5 base + 2 from shield bonuses)?

Ruling: Yes, when Fiora defends with Fortified Position active, she becomes 7 Might total. Fortified Position's trigger resolves first, giving her shield 2 (+2 Might while defending), then her passive ability activates because she has shield while defending, giving her another instance of shield (+1 Might while defending) for a total of +3 Might.

Sequence:

• Fortified Position trigger resolves, granting shield 2
• Fiora gains +2 Might from shield 2 while defending
• Fiora's passive activates (she has shield while defending)
• Fiora gains another instance of shield and +1 additional Might
• Total: 7 Might while defending (4 base + 3 from shields)

Nuances:

• Fiora's passive is not a trigger, it's a continuous passive ability
• If Fiora is hit with effects that remove shield instances (like Frigid Touch or multiple Stupefies) while defending, her Might will be reduced accordingly (e.g., losing both shield instances would make her 4 Might, not 5)
