💡 How to Use
Bulk Up is a high-impact scaling tool for Defect builds that prioritize physical attacks and traditional block over orb-based passive effects. It is best utilized in decks that can mitigate the orb slot penalty through slot-generating cards or by focusing on 0-cost attack recursion.
⚡ Synergies
card
Capacitor
Capacitor provides additional orb slots which directly offsets the primary downside of Bulk Up, allowing you to scale stats without losing your orb engine. This combination enables a hybrid playstyle that benefits from both high Focus and high Strength/Dexterity.
card
Claw
The Strength gained from Bulk Up provides a flat damage increase to every Claw played, which is highly effective in a deck designed to cycle these 0-cost attacks rapidly. Since Claw decks often rely less on a full rack of orbs, the slot loss is a minor price for permanent scaling.
relic
Runic Capacitor
Starting with three additional orb slots provides a massive buffer that makes the penalty of Bulk Up negligible. This relic allows you to play multiple copies of Bulk Up while still maintaining enough slots for essential Frost or Lightning orbs.
card
Gunk Up
Gunk Up deals damage three times, meaning it benefits from the Strength provided by Bulk Up at triple efficiency. This synergy transforms a card primarily used for status manipulation into a heavy-hitting offensive option.
card
All for One
All for One retrieves multiple 0-cost attacks that all benefit from the Strength scaling of Bulk Up in a single turn. The Dexterity also ensures that the Defect can survive the setup turns required to assemble a large discard pile of 0-cost cards.
