Payoff

Deck

• Mono-Fury, so any of the sixteen legend names carrying Fury holds it (103.1.b.1): Daughter of the Void (OGN-247), Relentless Storm (OGN-249), Loose Cannon (OGN-251), Hand of Noxus (OGN-253), Dark Child - Starter (OGS-017), Mechanized Menace (SFD-181), Purifier (SFD-183), Glorious Executioner (SFD-185), Void Burrower (SFD-187), Virtuoso (UNL-181), Pridestalker (UNL-183), Bloodharbor Ripper (UNL-185), Piltover Enforcer (UNL-187), Rogue Assassin (VEN-139), Butcher of the Sands (VEN-141), Master of Shadows (VEN-143).
• Farron and Lucian at the SAME battlefield. 144.3 moves them there as one game action ('Players may perform multiple Units' standard move simultaneously'), with 144.3.a requiring the shared destination they want anyway.

Prerequisites

• 807.3 IS THE PARAGRAPH THIS CARD STANDS ON AND NO ENTRY HAD CITED IT: 'Assault, and whether or not a unit has Assault, is a characteristic of the Unit and may be checked or referenced by other Game Effects.' That is what makes 'damage equal to my [Assault]' a readable number rather than a keyword check, and it is what turns the whole granted-[Assault] family from a Might package into a removal package.
• THE ARITHMETIC, WITH THE ENTRY'S OWN QUANTITIES. 807.1.b.3: 'If X is omitted, it is presumed to be 1', so Lucian's printed bare [Assault] is 1 and Farron's grant is another 1. 807.2 sums them ('the Assault Value of all granted Assault keywords is summed', worked example Petty Officer + Cleave = Assault 4). Blood Rush is [Assault 2] and 820.1.b buys exactly one extra execution, so paying its [Repeat] is a second [Assault 2]. Total 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 = SIX. Lucian attacks at Might 2 + 6 = 8 and his trigger deals 6 to an enemy unit there.
• AND THE FLOOR IS THE HALF THAT REPEATS. Blood Rush is a spell and is gone; Farron is a permanent. With Farron alone Lucian is [Assault] 2 forever, which is 2 damage on every attack, every turn, for no further cards — that is the `repeatable-removal` this entry produces. The six is the burst on the turn you spend the spell.
• THE VALUE IS READ AT EXECUTION, WHICH IS WHY THE PUMP CAN BE BOUGHT LATE. 359.3.f.2: 'Information referenced in an instruction in this way will be checked on execution of the instruction', and its worked example is the identically shaped Yasuo, Remorseful attack trigger resolving on 'his current Might of 5' after a Stupefy. Blood Rush carries [Action], and 806.1.b grants 'permission to be played or activated during Showdowns, even when it is not the Controlling player's turn', so it can be bought inside the opened combat and still raise the number the trigger reads. The steps below use the Main Phase because that ordering needs no argument; the [Action] window is the refinement, not the premise.
• FARRON'S WORD IS 'OTHER', SO HE NEVER PUMPS HIMSELF, AND HIS 'HERE' IS READ FROM HIM. If Farron stays home the grant does not reach the battlefield Lucian attacks. He is a 5-Might body that has to make the trip, which is the real cost of the permanent instance.
• THIS IS ONE ENTRY, NOT THE FAMILY. The granted-[Assault] package — OGN-004 Cleave, SFD-003 Blood Rush, VEN-009 Baccai Reaper, VEN-012 Perfect Execution, SFD-131 Ancient Warmonger, VEN-076 Repair Specialist, OGN-015 Captain Farron — is one predicate on 807.2 and belongs in the synergy layer as a rule. What is entry-worthy here is the single card that CASHES the summed keyword as damage instead of as Might.

Steps

1. Play Captain Farron (4 Energy + 1 Fury Power) and Lucian, Gunslinger (3 Energy) at your base.
2. In a later Main Phase, play Blood Rush (1 Energy) naming Lucian and pay its [Repeat] (1 Energy) for a second execution: [Assault 2] twice.
3. 807.2 sums every instance on him: 1 printed + 1 from Farron + 2 + 2 = Assault 6.
4. Move Lucian and Farron to the enemy battlefield as one action (144.3, 144.3.a), paying each unit's exhaust (144.2).
5. 464.2.c.1 makes you the Attacker; the attack trigger is placed at the designation (464.2.c.3) and reads Lucian's Assault on execution (359.3.f.2): 6 damage to an enemy unit there.
6. Lucian fights that combat at Might 8 (807.1.c: 'While I am an attacker, I have +X [M]').

Per iteration

one enemy unit takes damage equal to Lucian's summed Assault every time he attacks, for the two units' exhausts

How it ends

engine — 2 damage on every attack for as long as Farron stands beside Lucian, spiking to 6 on any turn you spend a Blood Rush with its [Repeat] paid; nothing here scores
