Charge Battery

DefectSkillCommon
Gain 7 Block.
Next turn, gain .

You gain 7 Block (10 upgraded) right away, then the card puts a counter on you that pays 1 Energy when your next turn starts. The two parts are independent: the Energy comes even if the Block is broken, and copies played in the same turn add their Energy together for the next one.
