💡 How to Use
Buffer is a premier defensive power for Defect, especially valuable for avoiding massive single-hit attacks or protecting HP while setting up long-term scaling like Focus or Echo Form. It is most effective in boss fights or against high-damage elites where it can negate a turn's worth of incoming damage entirely, allowing the player to focus on offensive setup.
⚡ Synergies
card
Echo Form
Echo Form doubles the first card played each turn, allowing Buffer to grant two stacks of HP loss prevention instead of one. This provides a massive safety net that lets the player ignore incoming damage while focusing on offensive scaling.
relic
Mummified Hand
Playing Buffer triggers this relic to reduce the cost of another card in hand to zero energy. This is vital for offsetting Buffer's high 2-energy cost, ensuring the player can still play other defensive or setup cards in the same turn.
card
Signal Boost
This card causes the next Power played to be played twice, effectively doubling the stacks provided by Buffer. It is a highly efficient way to stack multiple layers of protection for a single card play.
relic
Frozen Egg
This relic ensures that Buffer is automatically upgraded when added to the deck, providing more stacks of protection. This saves a valuable upgrade slot at a rest site while maximizing the card's defensive potential from the moment it is obtained.
