Changes: Flex

Revision as of 22:10, 15 February 2018

Flex is a Skill card for the Ironclad. It grants the user 2 Strength and applies 2 Shackle, which reduces the user's Strength by 2 when their turn ends. As a Common card, it can be found as a reward after combats.

Upon upgrade, Strength and Shackle both increase by 2.

Interactions

Of course, the card may be used with others like Dual Strike and Heavy Blade, which benefit from Strength disproportionately well.

Additionally, the Shackle effect only removes as much Strength as the card gives. It can be combined with Limit Break to permanently gain Strength, so long as Flex is played first.
- For example, imagine you're at 0 Strength. You play Flex+, giving you 4 Strength and 4 Shackle. Then you play Limit Break, bringing you to 8 Strength and 4 Shackle. At the end of your turn, Shackle will reduce your Strength back to 4, which is still a permanent net gain of Strength.
Ancient Potion, when coupled with Flex, will prevent the strength from reducing until the end of the respective act's bossfight due to treating Shackle as a debuff. Possibly a bug.
