When attacking with Darius - Executioner and recruits against Ahri - Nine-Tailed Fox, what is the final Might of the recruits after both effects apply?

Ruling: If Darius arrives at the battlefield with the recruits as Ahri's trigger resolves, the recruits will be 1 Might. If Darius somehow arrives after Ahri's triggers resolve, they'll wind up at 2 Might.

Sequence:

  • Darius's passive effect applies immediately when recruits arrive at the battlefield, giving them +1 Might (making them 1 Might)
  • Ahri's legend trigger goes on the chain when enemies attack
  • When Ahri's trigger resolves, it reduces Might by 1 to a minimum of 1
  • One-time effects like Ahri's perform their calculation ("to a minimum of 1") as they resolve, then apply that result continuously
  • Since the recruits are already at 1 Might when Ahri's effect resolves, they stay at 1 Might

Nuances:

  • This interaction works the same way with War Camp instead of Darius
  • Continuous effects apply continuously, while one-time effects with calculations perform that calculation at resolution
  • The timing of when Darius arrives at the battlefield matters for the final result
