Infused Core
StarterDefect
The Defect's upgraded starter: Touch of Orobas from Orobas swaps Cracked Core for it. On turn 1 it Channels 3 Lightning, filling the three base slots, and every Lightning you own deals 1 extra damage: 4 per passive zap and 9 on Evoke. Lightning damage is unpowered, so Strength never applies.
