Negative Pulse

NecrobinderSkillCommon
Gain 5 Block.
Apply 7 Doom to ALL enemies.

Five Block (6 upgraded), then 7 Doom (11 upgraded) on every enemy that can be hit, applied one enemy at a time. Doom never decays: at the end of the enemy turn, any enemy with at least as much Doom as HP dies, so Doom is a permanent countdown that other Doom cards add to.
