If an 8 Might unit has 4 damage on it, what is its Might value in showdown, and how much Might does an opponent need to kill it?

Ruling: Damage does not reduce a unit's Might value. An 8 Might unit with 4 damage on it still has 8 Might, but an opponent only needs 4 Might to kill it in showdown since the unit already has damage equal to the difference.

Sequence:

  • A unit accumulates damage separately from its Might value
  • When damage on a unit equals or exceeds its current Might value, the unit dies
  • In showdown, both units deal damage to each other based on their Might values
  • If an 8 Might unit already has 4 damage, it only needs 4 more damage to reach its Might threshold and die

Nuances:

  • Negative Might effects (like Stupify or Smokescreen) DO reduce current Might value, unlike damage
  • Might represents both offensive power and the damage threshold for death, but is not the same as HP
