I'm not an expert at advanced maneuvers but generally you get the best value. So Mighty Edge is weapon +5 & push 4. Potent.
Have to be careful saying it this way.
Rapid Strike is "Effect: Weapon -3". If you combine that with a "Effect: Weapon", you still get "Effect: Weapon -3" so it's the 'worst value'.
In fact, for anything other than potentially "Damage: None" you take the lowest damage value of the two (Unbalancing Strike, etc.)
Perhaps having it called "Effect" means that the Advanced Maneuver rules need to say something like "Effect: When combining 2 maneuvers that have a Weapon (modifier), take the worst modifier. An Effect of 'none' does not change the other maneuver's Weapon (modifier) number." or something along those lines.
