When Smokescreen reduces a unit's Might to 1 (minimum), and then conditional buffs trigger afterward (like Shield and Mask of Foresight), does the unit gain Might from those buffs or does Smokescreen's -4 persist?

Question

Accepted Answer

Ruling: Smokescreen and similar debuff effects only affect the unit's Might at the moment they are played, not permanently. Subsequent buffs will increase the unit's Might normally from whatever value it currently has.

Sequence:
- Poro starts at 2 Might
- Smokescreen reduces Might by 4, but minimum is 1, so Poro is at 1 Might
- Shield triggers when defending, adding +1 Might (now at 2)
- Mask of Foresight triggers when defending, adding +1 Might (now at 3)
- Final result: Poro has 3 Might
