No Escape

NecrobinderSkillUncommon
Apply 10 Doom, plus an additional 5 Doom for every 10 Doom already on this enemy.

It applies 10 Doom (15 upgraded), plus 5 more for every full 10 Doom the target already carries, rounded down. A fresh enemy takes 10; one at 20 Doom takes 20 (25 upgraded); one at 45 takes 30. Doom never decays, and an enemy whose Doom reaches its HP dies at the end of its turn.

When to take No Escape

Take it for a Doom deck aiming at bosses and elites, where the stack climbs high and each copy is worth more than the last. Two copies feed each other, so upgrade it early.
