· Riot's answers, word for wordIf I disempower a Kayle, Justified who has been empowered 3 times, does she lose all of her empowered statuses?
No. She will lose one of her empowered statuses.
For every Riftbound card other than Kayle, empowered is a binary status. They are either empowered or not. Kayle utilizes the golden rule “Card text supersedes rules text” to overcome this and be able to escape the normal bounds of what the empowered status means. On Kayle, empowered isn’t a binary status but a stacking status; she can have up to 3 empowered statuses. When Kayle is disempowered, the disempower action attempts to remove the empowered status. If she only has one empowered status, great, it’s gone. If she has more than one empowered status, the disempower action will remove one of the empowered statuses from Kayle.
But can I activate Kayle’s empower ability even if she’s already empowered?
Yes.
Kayle’s empower ability can be activated any number of times. If she has less than 3 empowered statuses, she will become empowered. If she has 3 empowered statuses, the ability can still be activated but nothing will happen when the ability resolves.
Can I disempower my Ambessa, Matriarch of War with Profiteer to empower my Kayle? Do I control my own legend?
Yes, you can disempower Ambessa, Matriarch of War with Profiteer. And yes, you control your own legend.
We don’t typically consider the possibility that any player controls a legend, because control of legends cannot change, but you do indeed control your own legend.
