Dominate
IroncladSkillUncommon
For 1 energy it applies 1 Vulnerable (2 upgraded), then reads the enemy's total Vulnerable, including stacks that were already there, and gives you that much permanent Strength. Bash for 2 and then Dominate is 3 Vulnerable and 3 Strength. If Artifact blocks the application and the enemy has no Vulnerable, you gain nothing. Exhaust, so once per combat.

When to take Dominate
Good once the deck has two or more Vulnerable sources; stack Vulnerable first, then cash it in the same turn before it ticks down. It is a single target boss and elite card.
