High Voltage

High Voltage

Buff
At the end of this creature's turn, it gains 2 Strength.

Every Zapbot spawns with 2 stacks. At the end of each enemy turn, the Zapbot gains Strength equal to the stack count, permanently. Its only move is Zap for 14 (15 on Ascension 9+), so the hit grows to 16, 18, 20 and onward with each turn it survives.

Notes

The Strength is added after its attack, so the first Zap is unbuffed and the growth shows from turn 2. There is no cap; the answers are killing it fast (18 to 23 HP, 19 to 24 on Ascension 8+) or stripping Strength. Zapbots are dropped into the fight by the Fabricator rather than starting in any encounter, so several can be ramping at once.
