Sucker Punch

SilentAttackCommon
Deal 8 damage.
Apply 1 Weak.

It hits for 8, 10 upgraded, then applies 1 Weak, 2 upgraded. The damage lands first, so this hit is not reduced by the Weak. Weak cuts the enemy's Attack damage by 25 percent, 40 with Paper Krane, and ticks down at the end of the enemy's turn, so 1 stack covers exactly one enemy turn.
