Does a Jinx with Assault 2 survive combat when attacking an occupied battlefield with a 5 Might defender, if Jinx starts at 4 Might?

Ruling: Yes, Jinx will survive. Jinx gains 2 Might as the attacker (from Assault 2), bringing it to 6 Might total, which is enough to survive the 5 damage from the defender.

Sequence:

  • Jinx starts at 4 Might
  • Jinx gains 2 Might as attacker (Assault 2)
  • Jinx now has 6 Might total
  • Combat damage is dealt simultaneously
  • Jinx takes 5 damage and survives with 1 Might remaining
