Hammer Time

RegentPowerRare
Whenever you Forge, all allies Forge as well.

Multiplayer only. Whenever you Forge any amount, every other living player Forges the same amount: a Sovereign Blade appears in their hand if they lack one, and their Blades gain that much damage. Their Forges do not bounce back to you, so it cannot loop. Upgraded it costs 1 instead of 2.

When to take Hammer Time

Best for a Regent whose Forge engine is already strong, turning Furnace and Bulwark into party-wide damage. Play it early so every later Forge is shared.
