Galactic Dust

Galactic Dust

UncommonRegent
For every 10 spent, gain 10 Block.

The relic keeps a running total of Stars you spend, and the total is saved between combats. Whenever it reaches 10 you gain 10 Block per full 10 spent and the remainder carries over: spending 25 at once gives 20 Block and leaves 5 on the counter. The Block is unpowered, so Dexterity does not raise it. Uncommon Regent relic, 225 Gold, We Need a Hero! epoch.

When to take Galactic Dust

Take it in a Star-spending Regent deck, since it turns offense into free defense on the same turn. In a Forge deck that rarely spends Stars it is nearly blank.
