💡 How to Use
Afterimage is a premier defensive power for decks with high card velocity, such as Shiv or Discard-heavy builds. It transforms every action into a defensive gain, allowing the player to mitigate chip damage or block massive hits simply by executing their primary strategy.
⚡ Synergies
card
Blade Dance
Blade Dance adds multiple 0-cost Shivs to your hand, each triggering Afterimage for free block. This synergy allows the Silent to maintain a relentless offense while simultaneously building a sturdy defense.
card
Calculated Gamble
Calculated Gamble discards and redraws a hand, often leading to long chains of card plays in a single turn. With Afterimage active, these cycling turns generate substantial block, protecting the player while they search for key combo pieces.
relic
Ornamental Fan
This relic provides block every time three attacks are played, which naturally complements the high-volume playstyle Afterimage encourages. Together, they provide layers of passive defense that trigger automatically during aggressive Shiv or attack-heavy turns.
card
Cloak and Dagger
This card provides immediate block and a Shiv, which then provides a second instance of block via Afterimage. It is one of the most efficient defensive cards in the game when paired with this power, offering high block-to-energy value.
relic
Ninja Scroll
This relic guarantees three Shivs at the start of combat, providing immediate fuel for Afterimage on the first turn. It helps stabilize the early game by ensuring you have enough card plays to generate block while setting up other powers.
