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)
