💡 How to Use
This card provides the fundamental mitigation needed to survive early encounters while the Regent prepares more complex Star or Forge engines. It serves as a reliable trigger for block-based relics and powers before more specialized defensive options are drafted.
⚡ Synergies
Fasten
Fasten specifically increases the Block value of all Defend cards by 5. This doubles the efficiency of the starter card, allowing it to remain a viable defensive option even in later acts.
Pael's Claw
This relic enchants all starting Defend cards with additional properties upon pickup. It provides a permanent power boost to the deck's basic defensive layer without increasing energy costs.
Vambrace
Vambrace triggers a bonus the first time you gain Block from a card each turn. Defend serves as a low-cost, reliable way to ensure this relic's benefit is captured every turn you need to mitigate damage.
