Does Irelia, Fervent get +1 might at the start of turn during the Awaken phase?

Ruling: Irelia, Fervent only gets +1 might at the start of turn if she is exhausted during the Awaken phase. If she is already ready, she does not trigger because a ready unit cannot be readied again.

Sequence:

  • During Awaken phase, the turn player readies all exhausted game objects they control
  • If Irelia is exhausted, readying her triggers her "when you ready me" ability
  • She gains +1 might from the trigger
  • This creates a react window before the Beginning step

Nuances:

  • A unit that is already ready cannot be readied again, so no trigger occurs if Irelia starts the turn ready
  • The Awaken phase counts as "you ready me" because the rule states the turn player readies their game objects
  • If an opponent readies Irelia (e.g., opposing MF moving), this would not trigger her ability since it requires "you" to ready her
