Corruption
S-Tier ⚔️ Ironclad📝 Effect
Skills cost 0 ⚡. Whenever you play a Skill, Exhaust it.
🧠 Strategy & Tips
Best card in STS2. Makes all Skills 0-cost and exhausts them. Core of Ironclad's strongest build. See full strategy guide on card detail page.
🎯 When to Pick
Almost always pick this card. It defines or enables a top-tier archetype and provides massive value in nearly every deck.
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.
