Dismantle

IroncladAttackUncommon
Deal 8 damage.
If the enemy is Vulnerable, hits twice.

It checks whether the target has Vulnerable at the moment you play it. If so it becomes a two-hit attack, 8 per hit (10 upgraded); if not it hits once. Each hit gets Strength and the Vulnerable bonus, so against a Vulnerable enemy it is 8 times 1.5 twice, 24 damage for 1 energy, 30 upgraded. The card glows gold when any enemy is Vulnerable.
