How to beat Osty
Summoning Osty
Summon X: brings Osty out with X Max HP and X HP.- Already alive: the same keyword raises his Max HP by X instead.
- Already dead: it revives him at X.
Bound Phylactery: summons 1 at the start of every turn.
Damage redirection
Die for You: any unblocked attack damage aimed at the Necrobinder goes to Osty's HP instead, after your own Block has soaked what it can.- Non-attack damage such as Burn still hits you.
Using him
He is both a shield and your damage: keep his HP topped up with repeated Summons.- Spend him with cards like Bone Shards or Sacrifice when that is worth more than keeping him.
Notes
- When Osty dies he stays on the field with a hidden health bar until the next Summon, which is why re-summoning is cheap.
- Powers cannot be applied to him while dead.
- Enemy multi-hit attacks are dangerous for him, since every unblocked hit is redirected.
- He is listed among monsters because the game builds him from the same creature model.
From the code
Osty is the Necrobinder's companion, not an enemy: Bound Phylactery summons him at the start of your turn, he has no move of his own and only attacks when one of your cards tells him to.
