Speedster

SilentPowerUncommon
Whenever you draw a card during your turn, deal 2 damage to ALL enemies.

Stacks a counter that hits every enemy for 2 whenever you draw a card during your own turn, after the automatic refill.

  • Excludes: the start-of-turn hand, so only Acrobatics, Expertise and similar cards fire it.
  • Damage: each hit ignores Strength, Weak and Vulnerable.
  • Copies: two copies deal 4 per card.
  • Upgrade: adds Innate; the number stays at 2.

When to take Speedster

Best when your Silent already draws four or more extra cards a turn, since three-enemy fights are the payoff. Slow against a lone elite.
