Double your Block gain this turn.
Shadowmeld is most effective in turns where you can play multiple block cards or have high Dexterity, allowing you to reach massive block totals for a low energy cost. It acts as a force multiplier for defensive setups, especially when paired with effects that allow block to persist across turns.
Footwork
Footwork provides permanent Dexterity which increases the base block of every card played. Shadowmeld then doubles these boosted values, leading to exponential defensive scaling.
Blur
Blur allows block to persist into the next turn, preventing the massive block generated by Shadowmeld from being wasted. This combination allows the Silent to build a carry-over shield that can mitigate multiple turns of damage.
Afterimage
Afterimage grants block for every card played, which is highly effective in Shiv or discard-heavy turns. Shadowmeld doubles all block gained from these individual triggers during the turn it is active.
Oddly Smooth Stone
This relic provides a flat Dexterity bonus at the start of combat, increasing the floor of every block card. This ensures Shadowmeld always has a higher base value to multiply, even in the early game.
Burst
Burst can be used to play Shadowmeld twice or to double a high-value block skill before Shadowmeld is played. This results in massive multiplicative block gains that can survive even the strongest boss attacks.
