You are viewing an old version of this card
Effect: gain 5 Block, then Channel a Glass orb.
Passive: Glass hits ALL enemies for its passive value at the end of your turn, starting at 4 and dropping by 1 after each trigger down to 0.- Evoke: its Evoke deals double the current passive, so 8 if you Evoke before the first decay, and Focus adds to both.
Example: left alone it deals 4, 3, 2, 1 across four turns, Evoked on the first turn it deals 8 at once.
Upgrade: the Block is 8.
When to take Glasswork
Good in Act 1 when you need area damage against hallway packs; a Defend with a free AoE attached. Plan to Evoke the Glass orb early, since its value only falls with time.
