Squeeze

NecrobinderAttackRare
Osty deals 25 damage.
Deals 5 additional damage for ALL your other Osty Attacks.

Osty attacks for 25, plus 5 for every other card tagged as an Osty Attack among all your cards in the combat.

  • Counts: every pile counts, and a second Squeeze counts for the first.
  • Upgraded: that is 30 plus 6 each.
  • Scaling: Osty is the attacker, so Calcify scales it and your own Strength does not.
  • No Osty: the card glows red and playing it does nothing.
  • Example: five other Osty Attacks make it a 50-damage hit for 3 Energy.
