Volley

ColorlessAttackUncommon
Deal 10 damage to a random enemy X times.
  • You spend all your Energy and Volley swings that many times for 10 damage, 14 upgraded, each swing picking a fresh random living enemy, repeats allowed.
  • Every swing is a full attack, so Strength, Vulnerable and Weak apply to each one, and Vigor is only spent after the whole card resolves, so it adds to every hit too.
  • Chemical X adds 2 swings.
  • With no Energy it plays for nothing.

When to take Volley

With Strength, Vigor sources or spare Energy from relics it earns its slot and stays reliable against one enemy, though the random spread makes group lethal fuzzy.
