How to play it
- Responses come before damage, which both sides deal at once. Equip it to the entity being attacked, or to your Defender, so it deals 1 more back.
- On your turn it is the cheapest way to arm an entity for your Raizan leader's Charge. Surge Gate and Raizan's Riposte can bring it back from the discard pile.
- At low health, don't arm your leader if the hit would bring both leaders to 0. Your response caused it, so you lose.
