💡 How to Use
Defend is the fundamental defensive tool used to mitigate early-game damage while the Necrobinder establishes Summon or Doom setups. It remains a reliable way to trigger Skill-based synergies and can be significantly enhanced through specific enchantments or global block buffs.
⚡ Synergies
Fasten
This colorless card specifically increases the block gained from all Defend cards by 5. It effectively doubles the efficiency of your starter defensive cards for the duration of the combat.
Pael's Claw
This relic enchants all Defend cards in your deck with additional properties upon pickup. This ensures that your basic starter cards maintain mechanical relevance and scaling into the later acts of the game.
Vambrace
Vambrace grants 4 additional block to the first block-gaining card played each turn. This allows a single Defend to provide a much higher defensive value, helping to conserve energy for offensive Summon or Doom cards.
Danse Macabre
This power grants 3 extra block whenever you play a card costing 1 or more energy. Since Defend costs 1, it triggers this effect to provide a total of 8 block, increasing your overall survivability per energy spent.
