What happens when an opponent plays Switcheroo on their 2 Might unit and your empowered Gangplank, Naval?

Gangplank replaces his Might being lowered with +3 Might this turn. The other unit still gets its increase.

Explanation & source

The swap difference is calculated first. With a 6 Might Gangplank, the other unit goes from 2 to 6 Might and Gangplank goes from 6 to 9 Might. The same logic applies to Mel, Newly Awakened with Switcheroo.

Does Blast Cone stun an empowered Gangplank, Naval, and does Back Off on a stunned Gangplank give him +3 Might?

Blast Cone stuns him. Back Off on a stunned Gangplank does not give him +3 Might this turn.

Explanation & source

Blast Cone’s stun doesn’t choose him, so his replacement can’t apply. Back Off performs no stun on an already stunned unit, so there is no event to replace.
