Rage

IroncladSkillUncommon
Whenever you play an Attack this turn, gain 3 Block.

Free to play, it puts a Rage counter of 3 (5 upgraded) on you for the turn. After each Attack you play that turn you gain that much Block. The Block is a power effect, so Dexterity does not add to it, but it counts as gaining Block for Juggernaut. A second Rage the same turn adds to the counter, and the counter is removed when your turn ends.
