🎯 When to Pick
Niche pick. Only take this if your deck specifically benefits from its effect or you have synergy relics.
As a Skill card, it provides block, draw, or utility. Ensure your deck has a good balance of Skills and Attacks.
One-cost cards are the backbone of most decks. They are easy to fit into any turn without straining your Energy budget.
🤝 Synergies
Defect focuses on Orb manipulation and Power scaling. Cards that generate or evoke Orbs, or provide Focus scaling, are central to Defect strategies.
Skill cards benefit from Dexterity and block-scaling relics. Defensive Skills pair well with card draw to ensure you have block when needed.
