Juggernaut

IroncladPowerRare
Whenever you gain Block, deal 6 damage to a random enemy.

A counter power: every separate Block gain of at least 1, from any source, deals 6 damage to a random enemy, 8 upgraded, and a second copy adds 6 more per trigger. The damage ignores Strength and Vulnerable. Frequency matters more than size; Rage giving 3 Block per Attack is 6 damage per Attack, and Plating firing at end of turn counts too.

When to take Juggernaut

Take it for a Block-heavy Ironclad in Act 2 onward, once many small Block sources are in the deck, since a 2-cost power is slow in Act 1. Upgrade after your Block engine is in place.
