Dying Star
Debuff
Lose Strength until the end of this turn.
Dying Star, the Regent rare Ethereal attack (1 Energy, 3 Stars), deals 9 to all enemies (11 upgraded) and then gives each enemy 9 stacks (11 upgraded). Each application silently applies that much negative Strength; at the end of the enemy's own turn the power removes itself and gives the Strength back.

Notes
Every enemy gets its own copy applied after the damage, so the Strength loss does not weaken the 9 damage itself. With no floor on Strength, a multi-hit enemy loses 9 per hit. Aim it at turns with big telegraphed attacks; it does nothing for the following turn.
Rules and timing
It takes away Strength when gained and gives the same amount back when it is removed, at the end of its owner's turn.
