If a 3 might unit has a buff applied and then gets smoke screened, is its final might 1 or 2?
Ruling: The unit will have 1 might. Smokescreen reduces the might that the buff gives because bonuses are applied before minuses.
Sequence:
- Buffs are applied first
- Debuffs (like Smokescreen) are applied second
- Smokescreen snapshots its effect when first applied and maintains that reduction for the rest of the turn
Nuances:
- Snapshotting means any increase or decrease with a restriction applies based on the initial condition only, then maintains that same value for the rest of the turn
- If a unit is debuffed and then buffed later, the debuff amount stays constant (e.g., a 2 might unit with -1 from Smokescreen that gets buffed by X would be 2+X-1)
