• Effect: Remove all Artifact and Block. Apply 3 Weak. Exhaust.

A cost-0 Exhaust Skill that strips all enemy Artifact (debuff-blocking shields) and Block, then applies 2–3 Weak. As one of the few ways to bypass Artifact and force debuffs through, it's critical against Artifact-holding enemies (certain elites and bosses). Removing Block alongside it guarantees the Weak lands. Exhaust limits use to once, but that single cast can be fight-defining.

• Primarily used against Artifact-bearers. Strip Artifact first, then push Poison/Weak through.
• Also useful against heavy-blocking enemies — clear the Block to open attack windows.
• Exhaust makes it single-use, but carrying one copy as an Artifact counter is reassuring.
• 2–3 Weak equals 25–37.5% damage reduction, a defensive option against heavy-hitters.
• Upgraded to 3 Weak, enemy damage drops further.

• Deadly Poison / Sucker Punch: debuff-applying cards. Strip Artifact with Expose, then land debuffs — core combo.
• Bane: 2× Attack damage on Weakened enemies. Expose's Weak preps a Bane combo.
• Burst: play next Skill twice. Exhaust prevents a second Expose, but Burst after Expose is valid.
• Prepared: Retain at end of turn. Save Expose for the Artifact fight where it matters.
