Doubles a key Skill for a devastating combo — copies Nightmare, big Poison, or a huge Block card.

Create many small attacks, multiply them with Accuracy-style scaling, then finish with burst payoffs.

Stack Strength, then convert it into one or two turns of overwhelming attack damage.

Defect turns a small Focus lead into a whole fight plan. Good decks either scale orb output every turn or compress the fight with energy and zero-cost tempo.

Instant burst of three Shivs — great with Accuracy and Shiv payoffs, dead weight without them.

A flexible AoE-plus-Block burst when you can spare Osty — great in decks that re-summon him cheaply.

His Block resets every turn — low-output builds can't break through. Stack Poison or save a burst turn.

Cheap Dark-orb generation whose Evoke damage snowballs — the setup for a Multi-Cast burst.

Recurs your best three cards for a stacked combo turn — powerful setup for a burst finish.

Huge AoE burst, but the Focus loss hurts Orb decks — best as a finisher rather than a repeat play.

Thirty Block in one card is a lifesaver against boss burst turns; Exhaust keeps it out of your deck the rest of the fight.

Dumps all energy into repeated Evokes — a burst finisher that pairs with a charged Lightning or Dark orb.

Triples your best card for a devastating turn — the setup piece behind Silent’s biggest burst combos.

Two energy and three cards for free is the strongest single-turn burst enabler in the game — HP is a resource here.

A heavy Poison burst that immediately cashes in the stack — expensive, but strong when Accelerant or existing Poison multiplies the payoff.

Retained Shivs plus a big bonus hit — turns a Shiv deck from steady chip into serious burst.

Four Evokes off one card is a massive burst — pair it with a charged Dark or Lightning orb to delete a target.

Converts your summon into an enormous burst of Block — a panic button that scales with Osty’s HP.

Big burst of Block that clears dead Skills — great in Exhaust decks with Feel No Pain and Dark Embrace.

Silent is strongest when the deck commits early: Poison solves long fights, shivs and Accuracy solve burst turns, and discard/draw keeps the best cards cycling.

Big hit that refunds itself on a kill — excellent against fodder and for chaining a burst turn.

Dumps all energy into Lightning orbs — a powerful setup card for a Focus-boosted Lightning burst turn.

Turns Lightning Evokes into AoE bursts — strong in a Lightning deck that cycles orbs through Dualcast.

Cashes a huge Doom stack into instant burst — the payoff that closes out Doom decks.

Save your potions for Phase 2! Revival puts you under immediate pressure with no time to set up.

A huge instant Focus spike that wins short fights outright — the decay only matters in drawn-out ones.

Coordinate party jobs, rewards, and version checks so a multiplayer run does not become several isolated solo decks.

Scale Focus and orb slots so Lightning, Frost, and Dark orbs solve the fight passively.

Chain cheap cards, energy spikes, and recursion to win before the enemy plan stabilizes.

Kill Deca first! Letting it keep stacking shields on Donu makes the fight infinite.

Ironclad wins by turning HP and cards into permanent combat advantage: Strength makes attacks matter, Exhaust trims the deck, and Barricade-style block engines buy enough time for boss fights.

Delay enemy plans while countdown and graveyard effects line up a lethal future turn.

Regent is a scaling planner: stars and created weapons create inevitability, while Forge and Prophesize let the deck line up a decisive future turn.

Forge and weapon creation turn future turns into reliable damage and block packages.

Beat of Death is the deadliest mechanic — every card you play damages YOU. Keep your deck lean; never add junk cards.

Never use multi-hit attacks in Defensive Mode — Thorns will shred your HP fast.

Sandpit is an instant-kill timer. If your deck is bloated or cannot draw Frantic Escape on time, normal block will not save you.

A plain-language guide to Aeonglass, Defect, high Ascension, and co-op concerns without mixing main-branch and Beta values.
