How does Kinkou Initiate work? Is it total might on board or might of single unit?

*Kinkou Initiate's* ability checks the **total Might of all your other units** on the board, not the Might of a single unit.

Kinkou Initiate's ability checks the total Might of all your other units on the board, not the Might of a single unit.

According to the card text, "When you play me, draw 1 if your other units have total Might 5 or more."

Total Might: You sum the current Might of every other friendly unit you have on the board.
Timing: This check happens on resolution (when the ability is processed from the chain), not when the unit is played.
Sequencing: If you have other effects that increase your units' Might (like a Legend ability or another triggered effect that shares the "When you play a unit" trigger), you can sequence those abilities to resolve before Kinkou Initiate's ability. This allows you to boost your other units' Might to reach the total of 5 or more just in time for Kinkou Initiate's ability to check the value. (See RiftJudge FAQ #9873).
