Card Overview
Garlic is a 1-mana Attack card that deals 10 damage to the front-line enemy and applies Disarm, reducing the target's attack power. As Po's starting weapon, it prioritizes survival over raw damage. The Disarm effect is deceptively powerful — reducing incoming damage consistently extends survivability more than a higher-damage card would in many situations.
Stats
- Damage: 10 to front-line enemy + Disarm
- Mana Cost: 1
- Color: Red (Attack)
Evolution
Combine Garlic with Pummarola to evolve it into Soul Eater. The evolved form substantially raises damage, widens Disarm range, and adds a lifesteal effect. Pummarola is also an excellent standalone passive (regenerates HP each turn), so there's no cost to including it as both evolution prep and sustain tool.
Synergies
- Pummarola: Evolution material and continuous HP regen — the perfect companion for a survival-oriented build.
- Disarm chaining: Disarmed enemies deal reduced damage, which compounds with other mitigation cards to keep incoming damage low.
- Front-line targeting cards: Works well alongside other cards that punish the closest enemies, creating layered pressure on the vanguard.
Recommended Crawlers
Po starts with Garlic and is built for high-durability play. Any Crawler wanting survivability over burst damage benefits from including Garlic.
Role in Deck
Cost-1 defensive attacker. Trades raw damage for enemy debuffing, extending run length significantly.
Rating: A Tier
Low damage number hides the power of consistent Disarm. Including Soul Eater evolution pushes this line to S Tier potential.
