“When an enemy unit attacks a battlefield you control, give it -1 Might this turn, to a minimum of 1 Might.”
Ahri asks you to care about combat math; the fun is setting up fights where your units survive because the Legend ability changes the numbers.
Ahri is a fortress legend. She does not need to target or spend energy; attackers into your controlled battlefields get smaller, so Calm/Mind cards can turn marginal defenses into clean Holds.
New to this Legend? Pick Ahri if you enjoy making enemy attacks worse before combat math even starts.
