Ornamental Fan

Ornamental Fan

Uncommon
Every time you play 3 Attacks in a single turn, gain 4 Block.
  • Counts Attacks this turn: it grants 4 Block on the 3rd, 6th, 9th and so on Attack you play.
  • Resets each turn: the count resets at the start of each of your turns, so two Attacks followed by end turn bank nothing.
  • Unpowered Block: Dexterity does not raise it and Frail does not lower it.
  • Cards, not hits: cards count, not hits, so a Twin Strike is one Attack.
  • Uncommon, 225 Gold.
