Ruined Helmet

RareIronclad

The first time you gain Strength each combat, double the amount gained.

First Strength gain: the first Strength you would gain in each combat is doubled, it only reacts to positive Strength aimed at you, then switches off until the fight ends.
Any source counts: cards, potions, relics, Powers that tick at turn start.
Order matters: because it is strictly the first gain, a 1-Strength relic at combat start spends the trigger before your big card.
Ironclad only, Rare, 275 Gold, unlocked by the Devastation epoch.

When to take Ruined Helmet

Take it in decks with one big Strength hit per fight rather than a slow drip, since only the first Strength gain each combat is doubled. With Vajra it gets wasted on 1 or 2 points.
