Does Irelia, Fervent get +1 might at the start of turn during the Awaken phase?

Question

Accepted Answer

I can't answer definitively because the exact text of Irelia, Fervent and the game's definition of an “Awaken phase” were not provided. Please share the card text (or exact timing language) for Irelia, Fervent. Absent that, the most defensible interpretation is: if the +1 Might is a continuous/static effect that applies at the start of turn (or while some condition is true), her Might will change immediately when that condition is true; if the +1 Might is produced by a triggered ability that fires at Awaken/start of turn, it will be placed on the chain when the trigger condition is met and only takes effect when that triggered item resolves. [143.2] [710] [FAQ:unleashed#1]

Insufficient information to issue a definitive ruling. Provide the exact printed text of Irelia, Fervent and clarify what you mean by the 'Awaken phase' (if that is different from a standard Beginning Phase or another named timing).

Obtain the exact printed text of Irelia, Fervent so we can determine whether the +1 Might is a continuous/static effect or a triggered/one-shot effect. If the card grants a continuous/static modifier (for example, "I gain +1 Might while X is true" or "Your units get +1 Might while Y"), that modifier updates the unit's current Might immediately when its condition becomes true, and the unit's Might is evaluated using that new value [143.2] [710]. If the card's wording is a triggered line (for example, "At the start of your turn/Awaken, do: give me +1 Might"), then when the start-of-turn/Awaken trigger condition is met you may place that triggered ability on the chain and it will only change the unit's Might when that chain item resolves; use the triggered-ability sequencing rules to determine when it becomes a finalized chain item [FAQ:unleashed#1]. If you mean a special "Awaken phase" distinct from standard phases, provide its definition; without it we treat 'start of turn' timing as the general concept and follow the triggered vs continuous distinction above.

If Irelia, Fervent is not on the board at the time the Awaken/start-of-turn timing occurs, a continuous effect printed on the card that only applies while on board will not apply until she enters the board. If the +1 Might is worded as "this turn" versus permanently, that changes persistence (temporary vs. permanent). If the ability includes a "you may" next to the trigger condition or a cost within instructions, those parts affect whether the ability is placed on the chain or is paid on resolution per [FAQ:unleashed#1]. If the modifier causes Irelia's Might to cross the threshold to become Mighty, that change happens at the instant her Might changes [709] [710].

I cannot definitively say whether Irelia, Fervent gets +1 Might at the start of turn without seeing the card's exact text or knowing how you define the 'Awaken phase.' The correct application depends entirely on whether the +1 Might is provided by a continuous/static effect or by a triggered ability. Continuous/static modifiers are applied to a unit's current Might as soon as their conditions are true; the unit's Might is then considered at that new value for all purposes (combat, lethal checks, etc.) [143.2] [710]. Triggered abilities that say something happens "at the start of your turn" (or at Awaken) follow the triggered-ability sequencing rules: when the trigger condition is met you may place the ability on the chain and finalize it; the effect (the +1 Might) only applies when that chain item resolves [FAQ:unleashed#1]. Additionally, if the +1 causes Irelia's Might to cross from below 5 to 5 or greater, she "becomes Mighty" at that instant [709] [710]. Please paste the exact wording of Irelia, Fervent (and define 'Awaken phase' if it is a nonstandard timing), and I will give a precise ruling with the correct citations.
