• Effect: Innate. Deal 15 damage. Exude.

A potent Attack combining Innate (in hand at combat start), 0 cost, and Exude. Every combat opens with a free 11 (or 15) damage strike, then the card exits the deck — no pollution, guaranteed opener damage. Exuding after means it doesn't contribute in long fights, but as a pre-emptive strike it's elite. In early trash fights, Innate lets you win initiative and cut down enemies fast. Counts for Finisher's Attack counter as well, so it pairs well with opening Finisher decks.

• It's in hand turn 1 every combat, so you get free 11-15 damage without any planning.
• Exude means no deck pollution. Innate adds power to the deck without increasing effective size.
• In Finisher decks, the opening Backstab feeds the turn 1 Attack count for a bigger Finisher.
• As an opening strike it excels at cutting down trash before fights drag.
• Upgraded to 15 damage, it nearly halves a trash enemy — upgrade early.

• Finisher: Attacks played x6 damage. Innate Backstab contributes to turn 1's count for higher Finisher damage.
• Assassin: also an Innate Exude Attack. Two Innate Exudes dominate the opening turn.
• After Image: 1 Block per card played. Backstab play alone adds 1 Block.
• Snake Form: 4 damage per card played. Backstab triggers it at the opening for bonus damage.

• Silent Shiv Build (S-tier)
• Silent Grand Finale Build (B-tier)
