Whenever you draw a card containing “Strike”, it is played against a random enemy.
Whenever you draw a card containing “Strike”, it is played against a random enemy.
Stacking: a single-stack power, a second copy adds nothing.
Trigger: whenever you draw a card with the Strike tag, opening draw included, it is played at once for free against a random enemy.
Strikes: in the Ironclad pool that means Strike, Twin Strike, Pommel Strike, Perfected Strike, Setup Strike and Ashen Strike, plus the Colorless Ultimate Strike and Seeker Strike.
Chaining: the Strike still counts as an Attack you played, so Juggling, Kunai and Shuriken see it, and Pommel Strike's draw can chain into another Strike.- Cap: the code caps the loop at 9 auto-plays per turn only against enemies with infinite HP.
Upgrade: it cuts the cost from 2 to 1.
When to take Hellraiser
Take it if you have kept your Strikes rather than removing them, above all alongside Perfected Strike. Every Strike becomes free damage, freeing your Energy for the rest of your hand.
