💡 How to Use
Barricade is the ultimate defensive scaling tool, enabling the Ironclad to stack Block indefinitely across multiple turns. It is most effective in slow, high-damage encounters where you can survive the initial 3-energy investment to establish a permanent shield.
⚡ Synergies
Body Slam
This card converts your accumulated Block into offensive power, dealing damage equal to your current Block total. Since Barricade prevents Block from decaying, Body Slam can eventually one-shot enemies once your defense is sufficiently high.
Corruption
Corruption allows you to play all defensive Skills for 0 Energy, rapidly building a massive Block stack in a single turn. Barricade ensures that this burst of defense remains on subsequent turns, mitigating the downside of exhausting your skills.
Unmovable
Doubling the Block gained from the first card played each turn significantly accelerates the rate at which you build your defensive wall. This synergy makes it much easier to outpace enemy damage and reach the Block cap.
Impervious
Impervious provides a massive 30 Block burst that usually only protects for one turn. Barricade transforms this into a permanent 30-point increase to your defensive floor, allowing you to focus on offense thereafter.
