When Watcher reduces a 1 might unit's might, does the snapshot prevent future buffs from increasing it above 1?

Ruling: When Watcher's effect is applied to a 1 might unit, it snapshots at -0 (not -2) because the effect has a restriction that might cannot be reduced below 1. Future buffs like Discipline will add to the base might normally, so a 1 might unit would become 3 might (1 + 2 - 0 = 3).

Sequence:

  • Watcher's effect applies to a 1 might unit
  • The reduction snapshots at -0 (not -2) due to the minimum might restriction
  • If the unit is later buffed (e.g., +2 from Discipline), calculate: base might + buff - snapshot reduction
  • Result: 1 + 2 - 0 = 3 might

Nuances:

  • Might can go below 1 in specific scenarios where multiple buffs are removed simultaneously (e.g., when two Darius buffing a recruit are removed by Singularity, the recruit can end up with negative might)
  • The -0 snapshot value doesn't change after being applied
  • For most scenarios, might does not go below 1
