If Sett is buffed to 8 Might with Call to Glory after taking 6 damage from Falling Stars, then gets hit by Smokescreen (which reduces Might by 4 to minimum 1), does Sett die?

Ruling: Yes, Sett dies. Damage and Might are tracked separately - damage counts up from 0, while Might can be increased or decreased. When a unit's Might falls below its accumulated damage, the unit dies.

Sequence:

  • Falling Stars hits Sett twice, giving him 6 damage counters
  • Call to Glory buffs Sett to 8 Might (he now has 8 Might with 6 damage)
  • Smokescreen reduces Sett's Might by 4, bringing him to 4 Might
  • Sett still has 6 damage counters, which is now greater than his 4 Might
  • Sett dies because his damage (6) exceeds his Might (4)

Nuances:

  • Damage does not reduce Might - only effects that specifically reduce Might (with the Might symbol) affect Might
  • Damage and Might are completely separate values that are not directly related
  • Healing removes damage counters (sets damage back to 0) but does not affect Might
  • Any time non-zero damage is greater than or equal to Might, the unit dies
