Gather Light
RegentSkillCommon
You are viewing an old version of this card
Gain 8 Block, then gain 1 Star. The Star is not spent by anything here, so it stays in your pool for later, and gaining it triggers whatever watches Star gains. Stars persist for the whole combat. Upgraded the Block rises to 11.
When to take Gather Light
Take one or two in Act 1 as strict Defend upgrades; 8 Block for 1 Energy beats the starter, and the Star feeds Falling Star. Upgrade it when nothing better is waiting.
