💡 How to Use
Strangle is a powerful scaling tool for decks that play a high volume of cards in a single turn, such as Shiv or Discard archetypes. To maximize its value, it should be played as the first card of the turn to ensure every subsequent card played triggers the additional HP loss.
⚡ Synergies
card
Blade Dance
This card generates three Shivs for a single energy, providing four total triggers for Strangle's HP loss effect. It is one of the most efficient ways to rapidly stack damage alongside the Strangle debuff.
card
Storm of Steel
By converting your entire hand into Shivs, this card can trigger Strangle 10 or more times in a single turn. This combination can melt high-HP enemies by bypassing block with the flat HP loss per card played.
card
Adrenaline
Adrenaline provides the extra energy and card draw necessary to extend a turn after playing Strangle. It essentially acts as a free trigger for the HP loss while providing the resources to play even more cards.
relic
Ninja Scroll
Starting combat with three Shivs in hand ensures that a turn-one Strangle has immediate, zero-cost follow-up triggers. This allows for a massive burst of damage on the very first turn of the encounter.
relic
Shuriken
Both Strangle and Shuriken reward the player for playing multiple attacks in a single turn. While Strangle provides immediate flat HP loss, Shuriken provides the Strength scaling needed to make those attacks deal more damage over time.
