• Cost: 1
• Effect: All enemies lose 9 Strength. Exude.

A 1-cost Exude Skill that cuts 6 (or 9) Strength from every enemy. Strength directly modifies Attack damage, so stripping 6 Strength takes 6 damage off every hit (more if the enemy has multi-hits). Particularly strong against strength-buffing enemies (Bronze Automaton, certain bosses). Exude means deck-thinning too. One-shot, but well-timed it dramatically slashes total incoming damage in long fights.

• Best against enemies that stack Strength (elites, bosses). Pick the right moment to drop it.
• Exude means it may be worth burning early, but saving it for a heavy hitter also has value.
• AoE Strength loss makes it useful in hallways too, especially versus groups that all swing big.
• With Nightmare's 3 copies, you fire 3 plays for 18-27 Strength loss — effectively nullifying enemies.
• Upgraded to 9 Strength loss, offense-heavy elites lose massive output.

• Nightmare: creates 3 copies of an Exude card. Copies Piercing Wail for 3 uses totaling 18-27 Strength loss.
• Well-Laid Plans: end-of-turn Retain. Save Piercing Wail for the precise elite turn.
• Burst: play the next Skill twice. Burst plus Piercing Wail for 12-18 Strength loss in one turn.
• Master Tactician: Sly on every Skill play. Exude means no re-use but this turn's Sly stacks still benefit.
