Uppercut

IroncladAttackUncommon
Deal 13 damage.
Apply 1 Weak.
Apply 1 Vulnerable.

Two Energy for 13 damage, then 1 Weak and 1 Vulnerable on the same enemy, 2 of each when upgraded. The damage resolves first, so the Vulnerable does not boost this hit. Both debuffs tick down at the end of the enemy turn, so the base version covers one enemy action and the upgrade covers two.

When to take Uppercut

A strong Act 1 pick for the Ironclad, since the damage is fair and the debuffs both defend you and set up the next hit. In Act 3 the 2-cost starts to hurt.
