Backflip

Footwork

Backflip's block value scales directly with Dexterity, and its draw effect helps you find your Footwork powers earlier in the fight. This synergy transforms a simple cycle card into a highly efficient defensive engine.

Burst

Using Burst before Backflip allows you to gain 10 block and draw 4 cards for a single card slot. This interaction is one of the best ways to rapidly cycle to the bottom of your deck to find key scaling pieces.

Afterimage

Backflip triggers Afterimage's block gain and provides the draw necessary to find more cards to play in the same turn. This creates a compounding defensive layer where every card drawn and played contributes to your survival.

Letter Opener

As a low-cost skill that draws more cards, Backflip makes it significantly easier to reach the three-skill threshold required to trigger this relic's area-of-effect damage. It allows you to maintain a defensive turn while still chipping away at enemy health.

Well-Laid Plans

Drawing extra cards with Backflip is more powerful when you can retain the most important ones for the following turn. This prevents high-value cards from being wasted if you lack the energy to play them immediately after drawing.
