If a 3 strength unit receives -4 strength to a minimum of 1 this turn, and then receives +1 strength, does it stay at 1 or become 2?

Ruling: The strength reduction is a one-time event that checks the minimum once. After the -4 is applied (resulting in 1 due to the minimum), a subsequent +1 strength buff results in the unit having 2 strength.

Sequence:

• Unit starts at 3 strength
• -4 strength is applied with minimum of 1, resulting in 1 strength
• The minimum check happens once at this point
• +1 strength is then applied to the current value
• Unit ends at 2 strength

Nuances:

• This interaction is technically explained by layers in the rules, though those rules are currently confusing and allegedly will be updated before release
