Deal 15 damage.
Next turn, gain [energy:2].
Hegemony is a vital tempo tool that allows the Regent to transition from setup to execution by banking energy for the following turn. It is particularly effective for enabling high-cost Forge cards or massive Star-spending attacks that would otherwise be unplayable.
Seven Stars
This card deals massive damage across multiple hits but requires a significant energy investment that often exceeds the standard turn limit. Hegemony provides the necessary energy boost to ensure this finisher can be played as soon as it is drawn.
The Smith
Forging the Sovereign Blade by 30 is a primary win condition, but its high cost often prevents the player from playing other necessary cards. Hegemony solves this by providing the surplus energy needed to Forge while still maintaining a defensive or offensive presence.
Convergence
Combining this with Hegemony creates a massive setup turn that results in a huge influx of energy and stars on the next turn. The hand retention from Convergence ensures you have the right cards to spend that massive energy pool effectively.
Ice Cream
This relic allows the energy gained from Hegemony to persist across multiple turns if it is not used immediately. This provides the Regent with incredible flexibility, allowing them to wait for the perfect moment to unleash a high-cost combo.
