🎯 When to Pick

Situationally strong. Pick this when it fits your deck's strategy or you need its specific effect.

As an Attack card, it directly contributes to your damage output. Evaluate if your deck needs more frontloaded damage or scaling damage.

Two-cost cards require a moderate Energy investment. Ensure your deck has enough Energy generation to support them alongside other cards.

🤝 Synergies

Defect focuses on Orb manipulation and Power scaling. Cards that generate or evoke Orbs, or provide Focus scaling, are central to Defect strategies.

Attack cards benefit from Strength, Vulnerable, and damage-multiplying relics. Pair with energy-cheap Attacks for maximum efficiency.
