When Switcheroo is used on units with Shield or Assault, do the bonuses transfer with the stats or do they get removed?
Ruling: Shield and Assault are passive effects that do not use the chain. When Switcheroo resolves, Shield and Assault bonuses are removed from the affected units rather than transferring with the swapped stats.
Sequence:
- Unit with Assault attacks (e.g., Assault 3 making it 4 Might)
- Switcheroo is played, swapping stats with another unit
- After Switcheroo resolves, the Assault/Shield bonuses are removed
- Units end with only their base stats (plus any non-Assault/Shield modifiers)
Nuances:
- In the example of a 4 Might unit with Assault 3 using Switcheroo with a 1 Might unit, the 1 Might unit ends combat at 1 Might (not 4), because the Assault bonus is removed
