when leblanc clones a unit with her sig spell. does she get the gear and buffs?
When LeBlanc (or any other effect) creates a copy of a unit, the new copy does not get the gear or buffs that were on the original unit.
According to the Patch Notes (2026-03-30) regarding Copy Effects, a copy effect only copies the target's "copyable traits," which include its printed characteristics (like Might) and its Rules Text (abilities).
Key details:
- Buffs: These are "appended or granted" modifications, not printed traits. Therefore, they are not copied. (See RiftJudge FAQ #10200 and Rule 705).
- Gear: Gear is an object attached to a unit. It is not part of the unit's printed Rules Text or characteristics, so it is not included in the copy.
In short, your new copy will enter as a base version of the unit it is copying, possessing only its printed traits and abilities.
