RegentSkillUncommon
Gain 1 Strength. ALL enemies lose 1 Strength.

Costs 1 Energy and 3 Stars: gain 1 Strength, 2 upgraded, for the rest of the combat.

  • Enemy loss: every enemy loses 1 Strength for the rest of the combat, applied one at a time, so Artifact on one enemy only protects that enemy.
  • Lasting: not a this turn effect; their attacks stay 1 lower until the fight ends.
  • Negative: their Strength can go negative, and negative Strength counts as a debuff on them.
