Taunt
IroncladSkillUncommon
Gives 7 Block, 8 upgraded, with Dexterity added, then applies 1 Vulnerable to the chosen enemy, 2 upgraded.
Vulnerable makes the enemy take 50 percent more from Attacks, 75 with Paper Phrog.
Timing: it ticks down at the end of the enemy's turn, so a single stack applied on your turn is gone before your next one, and it only boosts the Attacks you play the same turn.
Play Taunt before the Attacks, not after.- It does not pull enemy attention despite the name.
When to take Taunt
Take it in a Vulnerable Ironclad with Bully, Dismantle or Molten Fist for Block and setup in one card. Upgrade it first, since 2 Vulnerable lasts into your next turn.
