When Watcher gives -3 Might (to a minimum of 1) to a 2 Might Poro, and then the Poro receives +3 Might from other effects later in the turn, what is the Poro's final Might?
Ruling: The Poro ends at 4 Might. Watcher's effect applies once when it resolves, calculating the actual reduction based on each unit's current Might at that moment (respecting the minimum of 1), and that specific reduction value is what persists for the turn, not the full -3.
Sequence:
- Watcher resolves: 2 Might Poro receives -1 Might (not -3, because it can only go down to 1 Might minimum)
- Later, when combat occurs, Poro receives +1 from Shield and +2 from Yi
- Final calculation: 2 (base) - 1 (from Watcher) + 1 (Shield) + 2 (Yi) = 4 Might
Nuances:
- Watcher's effect is a one-time triggered effect that snapshots the actual reduction applied to each unit
- A unit already at 1 Might would receive 0 reduction from Watcher and be unaffected
- The "-3 to a minimum of 1" restriction only applies at the moment Watcher resolves, determining what reduction value gets snapshotted
