if sett has 5 might with buff. and you trigger to get +4. does he become mighting aka go from 5 to 4 to 8? or just 5 to 8?

Question

Accepted Answer

Based on the card text for **Sett, Brawler** and the relevant RiftJudge FAQ, when you activate his ability to gain +4 Might, he effectively goes from 5 Might down to 4 Might, and then up to 8 Might.

According to **RiftJudge FAQ #345** and **#641**, the sequence functions as follows:

1.  **Cost Payment:** You must actively pay the cost of the ability by spending the buff that is on Sett. 
2.  **Might Decrease:** As you spend the buff (which provides +1 Might), Sett's Might decreases from 5 to 4. Since he is no longer at 5 Might, he ceases to be **Mighty** (per Rule 709).
3.  **Ability Resolution:** The activated ability resolves, granting him +4 Might. His Might increases from 4 to 8.
4.  **Mighty Status:** Because his Might is now 8 (which is 5 or greater), he becomes **Mighty** again.

In summary, he does not just jump from 5 to 8; he drops to 4 and then rises to 8, which is the sequence that allows him to trigger effects that care about a unit "becoming Mighty."
