How to beat Punch Construct

  • Rhythm: Frail from Fast Punch is active on the very turn you need Block for Strong Punch, so budget a quarter more Block that turn or hold a non-card source of it.
  • Ready turn: deals no damage and leaves 10 Block on it for one of your turns, so aim big Attacks at the Fast Punch and Strong Punch turns.
  • Artifact: cancels the first debuff you throw, so open with a cheap one if Weak or Vulnerable is part of the plan.
  • HP: 55 (60 at Ascension 8+). A two or three turn kill alone.

Notes

  • Fights alone as a normal Underdocks encounter, with two Cubex Constructs in the Construct Menagerie in Glory, and in pairs from the Punch Off event in Underdocks.
  • In the event version each Construct starts 2 to 9 HP down, and the fight pays out a relic and a potion on top of normal rewards.
  • Ready's Block, Fast Punch's Frail and the Artifact do not scale.
