Leg Sweep

SilentSkillUncommon
Apply 2 Weak.
Gain 11 Block.

Two Energy gives 11 Block (14 upgraded) and then 2 Weak (3 upgraded) on one enemy. The Block is gained first, so it is a defensive play with a debuff on the side. Weak cuts the enemy's Attack damage by 25% and ticks down at the end of each enemy turn, so 2 stacks cover this turn and the next.

When to take Leg Sweep

A strong Act 1 and Act 2 defensive card for the thin-Blocked Silent, since it blocks a two-hit attacker's first swing and shrinks both. Take it early, especially before elites.
