Burn is an Unplayable Status card. Burns can be added to your draw pile or discard pile during a game by some enemies such as the Orb Walker. Unlike other Status cards, Burn does have an upgraded version. Burn+ is created by the Hexaghost boss when it uses its Inferno attack and in all subsequent attacks.

Burn deals damage to you immediately upon ending your turn. As Burn deals damage instead of causing direct HP loss, it can be Icon Block blocked. Only Burn cards that are in your hand at the end of the turn will deal damage to you, so if you can remove a Burn from your hand before the end of turn (e.g. by discarding or Exhausting it), it will have no effect. After a Burn damages you at the end of your turn, it is discarded, even if you have the RunicPyramid Runic Pyramid.
