Barricade
A-Tier ⚔️ Ironclad📝 Effect
Block is not removed at the start of your turn.
🧠 Strategy & Tips
Block stockpiling enabler. Pairs with Impervious, Entrench (via Body Slam), and Feel No Pain for unbreakable defense. 3-cost is steep without energy relics.
🎯 When to Pick
Always consider this card. It is highly effective and fits into most decks without much setup.
As a Power card, it provides permanent value for the rest of combat. Prioritize playing it early in fights.
Three-cost cards are expensive. You'll typically only play one per turn. Prioritize Energy relics and Energy-generating cards if you have multiple 3-cost cards.
🤝 Synergies
Ironclad excels at high-damage attacks and self-damage synergies. Cards that provide Strength scaling, exhaust effects, or healing pair well with Ironclad's kit.
Power cards scale permanently. Take relics that reduce setup time (like Bottles or innate effects) to play Powers before taking damage.
