Rating

A Skill that grants Intangible, reducing all incoming damage to 1 for one turn. It is one of the strongest defensive tools available, effectively nullifying any single large attack when timed correctly. The card itself has Ethereal, meaning it auto-discards at the end of the turn if not played. After upgrading it gains Exhaust, so it no longer recycles into the deck and stops slowing its cycle.

How to Use

Play it in anticipation of a heavy attack to reduce that damage to 1. Because Apparition itself is Ethereal, it disappears at turn end if unused — learn the boss attack patterns to play it on exactly the right turn. Combining Intangible with Block generation can completely negate incoming damage.

Good Synergies

• Block generation cards: combining Intangible damage reduction with Block can fully prevent all damage on a turn
• Enemy pattern knowledge: knowing attack sequences lets you play Apparition on the precise turn needed
• Deck compression cards: thinning the deck makes it easier to reliably draw Apparition on the turn you need it
