C-tier (Multiplayer only)

A multiplayer-exclusive card. For 1 Energy it Exhausts and makes another player Channel a Plasma Orb. There is no use case in solo runs, so it sits outside the evaluation for single-player runs.

In multiplayer, feeding Plasma to a teammate firms up their Energy base. It is especially strong for teammates who lean on heavy cards and need consistent Energy. Because it Exhausts you only get one shot, but using it at the start of a decisive fight buys the team a significant Energy ramp. Alongside Energy Surge, it takes on a team support role that smooths out the party's Energy economy.

• Solo mode cannot use this card; multiplayer only
• Aim it at allies who want Plasma (decks packed with heavy cards) to secure their per-turn Energy
• Exhaust means one use per combat; save it for key fights to stabilize the ally's mid-to-late game Energy
• Works alongside Energy Surge as a full team support package

• Energy Surge: Grants 2 Energy to every player. Paired with Ignition it locks in the team's Energy baseline
• Especially valuable when teammates run X-cost cards such as Tempest or Multi-Cast
• If an ally leans on heavy Power cards, a Plasma supply makes those plays much easier

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