Rating

A-tier

A cost-1 Skill that gives 7 Block (10 upgraded) and 1 Energy next turn. Defense plus an Energy loan on the same card, especially valuable in decks that want to chain expensive plays.

Upgraded to 10 Block it tops the cost-1 defense leaderboard in efficiency. The carried-over Energy makes firing high-cost cards every turn much smoother. Combined with Plasma's passive Energy income, it supports a relaxed Energy curve throughout the fight.

How to Use

• Defend while banking next-turn Energy for a big two-turn combo
• Play before a turn where you want to land a cost-3 card (Meteor Strike, Ice Lance)
• Upgraded 10 Block makes the upgrade priority high
• Combined with Double Energy, next turn swims in Energy

Good Synergies

• Double Energy: Next turn's extra Energy gets doubled
• Plasma Orb cards (Consume, Meteor Strike): Passive Energy income plus Recharge creates Energy surplus
• Subroutine: Refunds Energy on Power play. Paired with Recharge for constant Energy flow
• Echo Form: Extra Energy next turn backs up heavy-card play

Acquisition

• Obtained from Defect card rewards during a run
• Available for purchase in shops
• May appear as a rare event reward
