When a unit's might is decreased to 1 and then increased later, does the increase apply to the base might or the decreased value?

Ruling: Might changes happen once at the time the spell or ability resolves. They have no implication later in the turn. A unit decreased to 1 might that later receives a +1 might buff will become 2 might.

Sequence:

  • First effect decreases unit to 1 might
  • Later effect increases might by +1
  • Unit ends at 2 might (the increase applies to the current state, not the original base)

Nuances:

  • This ruling is not clearly stated in the current written rules and will be addressed in a future rules update
  • The interaction was confirmed by Riot directly
