Overclock

DefectSkillUncommon
Draw 2 cards.
Add a Burn into your Discard Pile.

Free: draw 2 cards, 3 upgraded, then a Burn is created in your discard pile.

  • Order: the draw comes first, so the Burn never lands in this turn's hand.
  • Burn: an unplayable Status that deals 2 damage to you if still in hand at the end of a turn; Block absorbs that.
  • Trigger: creating it counts as creating a Status for every Defect payoff that watches for one.

When to take Overclock

Good draw for 0 Energy in any Defect deck, and excellent once you carry Status payoffs. In a thin deck without them the Burns come back often, so take it with care.
