Two Energy deals 6 damage plus 2 (3 upgraded) for every card you own in this combat that carries the Strike tag. The code counts every pile: draw, hand, discard and exhaust, and the card counts itself. A starting Ironclad deck has five Strikes, so the sixth makes 18 damage, or 24 upgraded; each Strike-tagged card you add is 2 or 3 more.
When to take Perfected Strike
A strong Act 1 damage card as long as you keep your Strikes. Take it when you have not been removing them and plan to add Pommel Strikes, since more Strikes make every upgrade bigger.
