Strength and Swords

Each troop you have in the conflict is worth 2 strength, and each sword you revealed adds 1. You must have at least 1 troop in the conflict to have any strength at all. Set your combat marker in your Reveal turn; cards played later change it.

With Rise of Ix: Each dreadnought in the conflict adds 3 strength, and a dreadnought alone is enough for swords to count.
