Sai
Ancient
At the start of your turn, gain 7 Block.
Every turn, right after your turn starts, you gain 7 Block, and it is not wiped by the start-of-turn Block reset since it arrives after. It is unpowered: Dexterity, Frail and similar do not change the 7. It fires in every combat, every turn, for the whole run. Ancient, offered by Ancients.
