Bygone Effigy

• HP: 127 (Ascension: 132)
• Appears in: Overgrowth
• Submap: Overgrowth
• Passive: Slow — each time you play a card this turn, this enemy takes 10% more damage from Attacks

Slow's passive creates a unique property: the more cards you play, the more Attack damage it takes. It starts asleep, giving you a prep window. Optimizing card play order is the whole fight.

It starts asleep and doesn't move. After a set number of turns, it wakes and starts Slashing. Post-wake damage is high, so prep during sleep is the deciding factor.

• Maximizing Slow is the core of this fight. Playing more cards before an Attack pumps damage significantly.
• Card play order is critical. Play Skills and Powers first to stack Slow, then finish with Attack cards.
• 0-cost cards maximize Slow benefit. Spam 0-cost cards, then an Attack lands massive damage at low cost.
• Use the sleep window for Powers and buff setup. Have your setup ready to burst once it wakes.
• HP 127 is standard for elites. Leveraging Slow can finish it in 1-2 turns right after it wakes.
• Volume-heavy decks excel here. Heavy-weight decks with few card plays struggle to leverage Slow.

• Ironclad: Stack Slow with low-cost cards, then land a heavy Attack. A 0-cost Attack triggers explosive damage.
• Silent: 0-cost knife-based cards stack Slow easily. High volume directly translates to Strength.
• Defect: Stack Slow with low-cost cards while Orb damage adds on. Easy to rack up card plays, so great synergy.
• Necrobinder: Rack up plays to leverage Slow. Minion-deployment cards stack Slow while building the board.
• Regent: Deploy Powers during sleep and burst with Slow + Powers after wake. Power card plays also contribute to Slow.
