Flame Barrier

Flame Barrier

Buff
Whenever you are attacked this turn, deal 4 damage back.
  • Flame Barrier: the Ironclad uncommon skill (2 cost), gives 12 Block (16 upgraded) and 4 stacks (6 upgraded).
  • On being hit: by a powered attack, including a fully blocked one, the attacker takes damage equal to the stacks.
  • Unpowered: your Strength does not add to it, and it is not unblockable, so the enemy's own Block can absorb it.
  • Ends: at the end of the enemy turn.

Notes

It fires per hit, so a five-hit attack eats 20. Two plays in one turn stack to 8 per hit. It needs a dealer, so damage with no attacker never triggers it, and unpowered damage such as Poison does not either.

Rules and timing

  • It is removed at the end of the other side's turn, not its owner's.
  • It only counts damage from Attack cards and enemy attacks. HP loss and damage dealt by relics, potions and other powers do not count.
