アイアンクラッド

A Cost 2 multi-function attack that deals 13 damage plus 1 Weak and 1 Vulnerable. Weak reduces enemy attack by 25% and Vulnerable boosts your damage against them, contributing to both offense and defense. Upgraded, the 2 Weak + 2 Vulnerable provides even stronger control. Later attacks (Dissect, Thug) benefit from the Vulnerable, and Giant's Weak-damage-reduction condition is also met. The 2 cost is heavy, but three-in-one utility is top-class for Ironclad. Especially strong in early-mid boss fights.

Play it early in the turn to apply Weak + Vulnerable and maximize follow-up attack synergy. Lowering enemy attack with Weak and then using Giant creates turns where you take almost no damage thanks to Weak + Vulnerable. Combined with Vulnerable triggers like Dissect or Cruel, you can burst tons of damage in one turn. When fighting multiple enemies, prioritize the hardest-hitting one for Weak. With Strength buffs in play, damage efficiency per Energy climbs significantly.

• Early Act 1: High priority. The 2 cost is heavy but the damage + Weak + Vulnerable triple utility shines in early elites.
• Late Act 1: High priority. Even stronger once Vulnerable synergy cards (Dissect, Cruel) start showing up.
• Act 2+: Medium-high priority. The 2 cost feels heavier in mature decks, but still a core of Vulnerable builds.
• Boss reward: Medium priority. Control matters in boss fights, but must be weighed against rarer options.

• Dissect: Attack that hits twice on Vulnerable enemies. Powerful combo when paired with Uppercut.
• Giant: Skill that reduces damage taken from Weak enemies by 50%. Triggers after Uppercut's Weak.
• Cruel: Power that increases damage against Vulnerable. Uppercut's Vulnerable multiplies all attacks.
• Brutality: Power that draws on Vulnerable application. Draws every time Uppercut resolves.
• Tremor / Bash: More Vulnerable sources. Stack alongside Uppercut for high-stack Vulnerable.
