Gamma Blast

RegentAttackUncommon
Deal 13 damage.
Apply 2 Weak.
Apply 2 Vulnerable.

It costs no Energy but 3 Stars, which you must hold when you play it. It deals 13 damage first, then applies 2 Weak and 2 Vulnerable, so the Vulnerable boosts later attacks this turn but not Gamma Blast itself. Paying the Stars counts as a Star spend for every power and relic that watches spending. Upgraded it deals 18 with the same debuffs.

When to take Gamma Blast

Draft it once the deck makes Stars every fight, usually after a second generator beyond Venerate. It is the Regent's best early elite debuff, softening two turns of attacks for free.
