A-tier

A clean, simple 1-cost Block card: 9 Block (12 upgraded) with zero downside. Pure Block per energy here is among the best at this cost.

Compared to the starter Defect Defend at 5 Block, Leap nearly doubles it and should replace starter Defends as soon as you pick one up. Combined with Frost orb passive Block, it creates a very sturdy defensive layer every turn. It slots into any deck — nothing exotic, just reliable defense.

• Treat as a direct upgrade to starter Defend — swap them out when you pick one up
• Universally useful in Frost decks, orb decks, or anything else
• Upgraded 12 Block is one of the best rates at this energy cost
• Multiple copies are fine for consistent Block every turn

• Coolant: Block per orb type at turn start — Leap stacks on top for doubled-up defense
• Frost orb cards: Frost's passive Block + Leap is a solid double-source defense
• Buffer: ignore one HP loss. Pairs with Leap to make HP management trivial
• Boot Sequence: Innate + Exude for 10 Block (13 upgraded). With Leap, turn 1 is rock solid
