Does equipping an equipment to Irelia Fervent count as choosing? For example, equipping Guardian Angel to Irelia, would that give +3 Might total this turn?

Question

Accepted Answer

Yes, equipping *Guardian Angel* to *Irelia, Fervent* counts as "choosing" her, and it will trigger her ability to gain +1 Might.

According to **RiftJudge FAQ #9143** and **#6203**, equipping gear to *Irelia, Fervent* is considered "choosing" or "targeting" her, which satisfies the condition of her ability: *"When you choose or ready me, give me +1 Might this turn."*

Regarding your total Might calculation:
1.  **Triggered Ability:** When you pay the cost to *Equip* *Guardian Angel* to *Irelia*, her ability triggers because she has been "chosen," granting her **+1 Might**.
2.  **Card Effect:** *Guardian Angel* itself provides a static bonus of **+1 Might** to the unit it is attached to.

In total, *Irelia, Fervent* will receive **+2 Might** (the +1 from her ability and the +1 from the *Guardian Angel* gear), not +3 Might.
