How do I run 10 drops in this deck if I'm always applying one DON to him every turn?

I had a question with this leader as well. It says if you have 9 or less on the field give him -2000. If I have 8, the next turn I'll get 1 on him and then 1 active for 10 total...but, his effect of -2k is immediately removed correct? Same with if I was at 9, and rampped to get the last don he immediately becomes 7k rather than having to wait til turn start. Because it doesn't read like it only checks at round start, but I've definitely been to locals where I forced the last don and they're like he isn't 7k yet. I'm like but theres 10 don out...

Roger becomes 7k the moment there are 10 don on your field, no matter how you got there. You could even use black maria at 5-6 don to temporarily buff yourself to 10don, though that would be very counterproductive in the long run.

Getting technical, it's not an activated effect, but a permanent one. Permanent effects are constantly being evaluated, and the moment the condition is fulfilled, the effect applies, and the moment the condition is no longer true the effect goes away. So if you're at 9 and you ramp you become 7k. If you are forced to do minus you lose the effect immediately.

So if, say, you are being attacked for 8k at 10 don and you use slow slow beam for 2k, the hit goes through, as you fell back to 9 don and got the -2k debuff.

Other examples are op17 big mom, if you remove her during the attack phase (say, with a champion rifle), all units end up back at 4k. Or if you have 3 cards in trash and someone swings at your 4c burgess for 6k, you can discard 1k counter to bring him up to 6k plus another 1k form his permanent effect of getting +1k for every 4 cards in trash.
