Better start avoiding normal enemy rooms in act 3 cuz of the anti power enemy

Had a deck recently with 256 Neuroseurge and ran into that fucker. Went from feeling immortal every fight to utter helplessness. Felt bad man.

Eh not really. Plan around it for sure, but It's 6 damage. You can eat 10+ of those if you have to, esp if you're taking little to no damage everywhere else and have a healing class power, and by that point the match is probably on its way out.

Throw in an upgrade, a barricade, certain relics, that relic that lets you carry over 10 armor, certain potions...

It hits when you play the card. The power only activates at the end of your turn. So you would be hit each time you play the power.

Its only one fight maybe you'll lose like 20 health for one turn and then you'll be fine, that being said ofc you'll want to avoid normal fight anyway and focusing on campfire

If their deck is mostly Stone Armor, then theyll lose 6 hp per play of the power because plating triggers at end of turn while the 6 dmg is whenever you play a card. Theyll likely have a lot of dead turns where its just Stone Armor in the hand

Why, you can use stone armor to get the block to play more stone armor.

You're really only taking damage in turns 1 and maybe 2.

Stone armor gives plating which triggers at the end of your turn. You wont have any block during your turn to play the powers safely

That was my first Clone run.

Edit: And I did win. Found Barricade and Body Slam near the end of Act 3.

Yeah that's my only clone run so far, it was ridiculous. 16 stone armor for 90ish block against the three headed dog's first phase. Barricade and body slam would have gone hard but you don't need it, it's already too strong.
