Gain 2 Dexterity.
Gain 3 Dexterity.
Dexterity: Footwork puts 2 of it on you for the rest of the combat, and it adds its full amount to every Block gain from a card you play.
Example: a Defend becomes 7 Block, Cloak and Dagger becomes 8, and a card that grants Block twice, like Dodge and Roll, is boosted both times.- Order: the bonus is added before multipliers, so anything that doubles your Block doubles the Dexterity share too.
Exception: Block from orbs, relics and powers is not affected.
Upgrade: it raises the gain to 3.
When to take Footwork
Good in Act 1 whenever your deck still leans on Defends; a 1 cost Power adding 2 to every Block card pays for itself by an elite fight's second turn. Poison and Shiv decks want it most.
