Burst is a Skill card for The Silent. It plays the next Skill card this turn a second time, for no Energy. As a Rare card, it can be obtained after defeating a Boss. It is The Silent's version of Double Tap and Amplify.
Upon upgrade, it will trigger again on the 2nd Skill card played in the same turn.
The second play is NOT added to your draw or discard pile.
The scaling buff from Burst (and also from Double Tap and Amplify) is the number of cards that will be played twice, not the number of times the card will be played. This means playing multiple Bursts will add to the number of skills that will be played twice that turn, not make the next skill play 3 or more times.
Interactions[]
- The second play will not cost any Energy, but it will trigger any other consequences of playing the card. For example, a Bursted J.A.X. will trigger the self-damage twice.
- The second play of a card that costs X energy will use the same value of X as the first.
- The second play acts as a separate card. This has interactions including, but not limited to:
Ink Bottle, 
Letter Opener: Both plays count towards playing skills for their benefits.- Velvet Choker: Both plays count towards the amount of cards played for the turn.
- Time Eater's Time Warp power: Both plays increase the counter as usual. If the second skill is the 13th action on his counter, it will NOT occur, unlike Velvet Choker.
- The second play happens after the Skill is sent to the draw, discard or Exhaust piles.
- The second play can trigger any Exhaust synergies, but only if the Skill Exhausts when played.
- In other words, the copied Skill "not going to your discard pile" does NOT count as an Exhaust by itself.
