Spiny Toad

• HP: 116-119 (Ascension: 121-124)
• Act: Den
• Passive: None

A spiky large toad. Known for Thorns that reflect damage and Spike Burst as AoE. Attack-heavy decks need to play around the reflect damage.

Protruding Spikes activates Thorns that reflect damage to attackers. Spike Burst unleashes stored Thorns as an AoE attack.

• During thorn phases, limit Attack usage. Each Attack takes reflect damage, so big one-hit swings are more efficient than many small ones.
• Small multi-hit attacks are worst under Thorns — each hit eats reflect, inflating your total damage taken.
• Poison and orb damage are not Attacks, so they bypass thorn reflect. Lean on those if available.
• Prepare Block for Spike Burst — AoE hits everyone including your minions.
• 116-119 HP is substantial. Chip steadily while respecting Thorns.
• Focus Attacks on Tongue Whip turns, and use thorn turns for Skills or Powers.
