A Skill that grants 30 Block for 0 Energy at the cost of not being able to gain Block for the next 2 turns. 30 Block is enormous, but being defenseless for the following 2 turns is a significant risk. The ideal use is pinpointing it against a single massive enemy attack. Upgraded, it climbs to 40 Block, putting up an even taller wall.

• Play it right before a big enemy attack to completely Block a huge hit, then Focus on offense for the next 2 turns.
• The Block-lockout downside means you should understand the enemy's attack pattern before firing.
• Combining with carryover Block effects lets you soften the lockout turns.
• Upgraded to 40 Block, it can completely Block almost any single attack.

• Prolong-style carryover: Carry Block into the next turn to keep some defense during the lockout turns.
• Barricade: Barricade-style Block retention applies even while Block cannot be gained, covering Panic Button's downside.
• Attack-focused decks: Use the 2 lockout turns as dedicated offense turns, turning the weakness into a plan.
