Colossus
IroncladSkillUncommon
You are viewing an old version of this card
You gain 5 Block (8 upgraded) and a Colossus counter. While it is on you, Attack damage from any enemy that currently has Vulnerable is multiplied by 0.5. The counter is removed when the enemy turn ends, so it covers exactly the attacks coming this turn. Extra copies do not stack the halving. Non-Attack damage, and attacks from enemies without Vulnerable, are unchanged.
When to take Colossus
Only for decks that keep Vulnerable on the enemy most turns, like Bash, Thunderclap or Bag of Marbles at combat start. There it is the best 1-Energy defense the Ironclad has.
