If Ahri reduces a unit to 1 might (minimum), and that unit is later pumped above 1 might during the same turn, does the -1 reduction still apply?
Ruling: No, the -1 does not apply retroactively. Ahri's triggered ability takes effect once when combat begins, reducing units' might by 1 (minimum 1). Any later increases to might are not influenced by Ahri's effect.
Sequence:
- Ahri's ability triggers when combat begins
- Units get -1 might (minimum 1)
- If a unit later gains might during the turn, the -1 does not reapply
Nuances:
- This is a triggered ability, not a passive effect, so it only applies once at the trigger moment
- Ahri's ability triggers during combat/showdown, not when contesting an uncontrolled battlefield (since that involves showdown but no combat)
- The same logic applies to both versions of Ahri
