Withering Presence
Buff
The boss Aeonglass places one copy on itself for every opponent when the fight starts, each set to 6 and tied to one player.
Every card that player plays lowers the count by 1.
When it reaches 0, a Wither is created in that player's hand and the count resets to 6.
Wither is an Unplayable Status that deals 3 damage to you at the end of your turn if it is still in your hand.

Notes
Every play counts, including 0-cost cards, so long turns feed the boss. Aeonglass's Increasing Intensity move adds 1 Wither (2 from Ascension 9) to your discard pile and permanently raises the damage of every Wither in the fight by 3; Withers made by this power inherit those upgrades. Wither's damage is unpowered, so Vulnerable never inflates it. The boss also opens with 3 Artifact.
Changes by version
- Replaced the Act 3 boss Doormaker with a brand-new boss, Aeonglass (its moveset and Wither / Withering Presence mechanics were refined throughout the beta)
- Reworked Wither status and Withering Presence power
