Does Switcheroo count Shield?

Yes, Switcheroo counts Shield when it resolves.

According to the game's mechanics, Shield is a passive effect that continuously adds to a unit's Might while they are a defender. When you cast Switcheroo, it snapshots the current Might values of the two units—which includes any active Shield bonuses—and swaps them.

Here is how the interaction works:

• Snapshotting: Switcheroo calculates the current Might of both units (including any active Shield or Assault bonuses) and swaps those values.
• Passive Effects Remain: The Shield bonus itself is a passive effect and does not transfer to the other unit. It remains on the original unit.
• Result: After the swap, the units will have the new Might values, and their original Shield bonuses will continue to apply to their new Might totals for the remainder of the combat.

Example: If you have a unit with 2 base Might and Shield 1 (Total 3 Might) and another unit with 5 Might:

1. Switcheroo sees the current Might values as 3 and 5.
2. It swaps them by applying a +2 modifier to the first unit and a -2 modifier to the second.
3. The first unit now has 5 Might (4 base + 1 Shield), and the second unit has 3 Might.
