Escape Artist
Buff
Exits the combat after 4 turns.
Thieving Hopper, a weak Hive fight, starts with 5 stacks. It is only a timer: at the end of each of its turns it loses a stack until it reaches 1, and at 1 it pulses. The escape itself comes from the Hopper's move list, Thievery, Flutter, Hat Trick, Nab, then Escape on its fifth turn, taking the card it stole with it.

Thieving HopperNotes
The code comment calls it a visual timer; it has no effect of its own. The stolen card comes back if you kill the Hopper before it leaves, so the counter tells you exactly how many turns you have to do that.
