When a unit with 1 base Might has +1 Might from two different sources (e.g., a Buff and Darius Executioner) for a total of 3 Might, and Smoke Screen reduces it to 1 Might, what happens when those +1 Might sources are removed one at a time?
Ruling: When Smoke Screen reduces a unit's Might to 1, removing the first +1 Might source reduces the unit to 0 Might, and removing the second source reduces it to -1 Might (which has no real effect and is treated as 0 for gameplay purposes, but the math still tracks the negative value).
Sequence:
- Unit starts with 3 Might (1 base + 2 from sources)
- Smoke Screen reduces it to 1 Might
- First +1 source removed: unit goes to 0 Might
- Second +1 source removed: unit goes to -1 Might (treated as 0 but tracked as -1)
- If buffed again with +1: unit goes from -1 to 0 Might
Nuances:
- Might can mathematically go below 0, but this has no real gameplay effect
- The unit doesn't die when at 0 or negative Might
- Math continues to work normally even with negative values (e.g., -1 + 1 = 0)
- "Treated as 0" does not mean "becomes 0" - the actual value is still tracked for calculation purposes
