Ricochet

SilentAttackCommon
Sly.
Deal 3 damage to a random enemy 4 times.

Sly, and 3 damage to a random enemy 4 times (5 upgraded). Each hit picks its target again, so against one enemy it is 12, against three it scatters. Strength adds to every hit, which is where it scales. Played by paying 2 Energy it is a weak Strike; the point is Sly: discard it from hand on your turn and it plays itself for free.
