💡 How to Use
Pyre acts as a deck-internal energy relic, providing a permanent resource advantage for the remainder of a combat encounter. It is most effective in long-form battles such as Bosses or Elites where the initial two-energy tempo loss is eventually outweighed by the cumulative energy gain.
⚡ Synergies
Whirlwind
Whirlwind scales its number of hits directly with available energy, making the permanent energy boost from Pyre a direct damage multiplier every turn. This allows the Ironclad to maintain high area-of-effect pressure while still having energy left for defensive maneuvers.
Mummified Hand
As a Power card, playing Pyre triggers this relic to reduce the cost of a random card in hand to zero. This interaction mitigates the high upfront cost of Pyre, allowing you to establish your energy scaling without sacrificing your entire turn's momentum.
Demon Form
Both cards are expensive setup tools that require several turns to generate value. Pyre provides the necessary energy to play Demon Form and still afford defensive Skills on the same turn, or to follow up with expensive Attacks once the Strength has scaled.
Corruption
Corruption makes all Skills cost zero energy, meaning the extra energy provided by Pyre can be spent exclusively on high-cost Attacks and Powers. This creates a massive resource surplus that allows the player to empty their hand of offensive threats every single turn.
