Deal 9 damage to ALL enemies. ALL enemies lose 9 Strength this turn.
Dying Star is a premier defensive tool for neutralizing multi-hit attacks and large groups of enemies, effectively acting as a massive temporary block for a single energy. Since it is Ethereal, it must be played the turn it is drawn to prevent it from exhausting, making it a high-priority play during high-damage boss phases.
Dark Shackles
Stacking these effects can reduce an enemy's Strength by 18 or more, which is enough to make most multi-hit boss attacks deal zero damage. This provides a crucial reset turn to stabilize your health or finish your Forge scaling.
Paper Krane
Strength reduction is most effective when paired with Weak, and this relic significantly increases the damage reduction from the Weakened status. Together, they form a defensive wall that allows the Regent to survive high-pressure turns without needing massive Block values.
Monarch's Gaze
Since Dying Star is an AOE attack, it triggers this power's Strength reduction on every enemy hit simultaneously. This increases the total Strength loss to 10 per enemy, further punishing multi-hit attackers for a very low energy cost.
The Sealed Throne
This card provides a cheap way to trigger Star generation while simultaneously protecting your health pool through Strength reduction. It buys the necessary turns to accumulate Stars for high-impact finishers like Radiate or Seven Stars.
