アイアンクラッド

A Cost 0 attack that deals 4 damage plus 2 per Vulnerable stack (3 per stack upgraded). The 0 cost makes it easy to pair with other cards, and damage snowballs the higher the Vulnerable stacks go. After stacking Bash (Vulnerable 3) and Lava Fist (Vulnerable x2), Thug deals 4+18=22 damage (4+27=31 upgraded) for zero Energy. It functions as a 0-cost finisher in Vulnerable decks, and Cruel's bonus damage against Vulnerable enemies amplifies it further. Without Vulnerable synergy, it's only 4 damage and not worth picking.

Use Vulnerable-applying cards (Bash, Tremor, Uppercut, Lava Fist) first, then play Thug on the heavily Vulnerable enemy. The 0 cost means you can play it at the end of the turn with leftover 0 Energy, consuming no resources wastefully. After Lava Fist doubles Vulnerable stacks, Thug can deal enormous damage for 0 Energy. If Cruel is in play, damage to Vulnerable enemies increases 25%-50%, further boosting Thug. Multiple copies let you pile on damage repeatedly at 0 cost.

• Bash: Starter card that applies 2-3 Vulnerable. Builds the foundation for Thug's bonus damage.
• Lava Fist: An Exude attack that doubles Vulnerable stacks. Using it before Thug doubles Thug's damage.
• Cruel: Power that increases damage against Vulnerable enemies. Adds 25-50% on top of Thug's output.
• Uppercut: Attack that applies Weak and Vulnerable together. Stacks Vulnerable while dealing damage.
• Brutality: Power that draws a card on Vulnerable application. Cards fly as you stack Vulnerable, accelerating the whole deck.
