Gorget is a Common relic that grants Plated Armor 4 at the start of combat. Plated Armor automatically grants Block equal to its value at end-of-turn if your Block is 0 — so even on turns you play no Block cards, 4 Block is guaranteed. Despite being Common, it stabilizes defense across the whole run and is arguably one of the strongest Commons. Even when you pour all your energy into attacks, the minimum mitigation applies, greatly improving early-game consistency. Note it does not trigger on turns when Block cards were played, but Plated Armor stacks — combining with other Plated Armor sources makes defense even more ironclad.
