Playtest. In the game’s public beta, not in the live game yet; it can still change.
Lose Focus until the end of this turn.
Hyperbeam: this debuff belongs to its public beta version. In the live game Hyperbeam takes 3 Focus away for the rest of the combat.
Beta patch: of 13 Aug 2026 reworked the card to 24 damage to ALL enemies, 30 upgraded, with a Focus loss that lasts one turn.
The debuff: lands on you with 3 stacks, subtracts 3 Focus at once, and gives it back when your turn ends.

Notes
Orb passives fire at the end of your turn before the Focus returns, so on the Hyperbeam turn every end of turn passive and every Evoke is still 3 weaker; after that your orbs are back to full. Two Hyperbeams in a turn stack it to 6. It is the temporary Focus of Hotfix with the sign flipped, and Focus can go below 0 while it lasts.
Rules and timing
It takes away Focus when gained and gives the same amount back when it is removed, at the end of its owner's turn.
