Dash

SilentAttackUncommon
Gain 10 Block.
Deal 10 damage.

For 2 energy you gain 10 Block and then hit one enemy for 10 (13 and 13 upgraded). The Block lands first, then the attack, so Dexterity boosts the shield and Strength boosts the hit independently. It is an Attack, so it counts toward attack-count relics and unblocked-damage triggers.

When to take Dash

Good in Act 1 when you are short on Block, since 10 and 10 for 2 energy needs no setup. Skip it in Shiv or Poison decks that want cheap plays instead.
