Demonic Shield
IroncladSkillUncommon
Multiplayer only: it never appears in solo runs.
Cost: for 0 energy you lose 1 HP, which the code marks unblockable and unmodifiable, and a teammate gains Block equal to your current Block at that moment.
Copy: you keep your own Block, it copies rather than transfers.
Exhaust: it Exhausts unless upgraded, in which case you can do it every time you draw it.- Note: the HP loss counts as losing HP on your turn.
When to take Demonic Shield
Draft it in co-op when you are the tank; a Barricade or Impervious deck can hand a 30 Block copy to the squishiest ally for free. Play your Block cards first.
