No Block

No Block

Debuff
You cannot gain Block from cards.

While it lasts, Block from your cards is multiplied by zero. Only Block that comes from a card and scales with powers is affected; relics, potions, orb passives and unpowered sources like Plating keep working. It loses a stack at the end of every enemy turn, so the 2 stacks from Panic Button cover the turn it is played and the next one.

Notes

Panic Button grants its 30 Block (40 upgraded) before the debuff is applied. Enemy moves have no card source, so a monster's own Block is never blocked by it. Stacks add, so a second Panic Button extends the lockout rather than resetting it.

Rules and timing

It loses 1 stack at the end of the enemies' turn, whoever has it.
