An enemy Buff that adds a Wound to your deck every time you take unblocked attack damage. It is possessed innately by the Book of Stabbing, and gained by the Corrupt Heart after its third use of its Buff ability.
Tips[]
This power can be dangerous, since both enemies that have it are capable of doing several attacks per turn and potentially giving you several Wounds at a time. However, you can exploit the fact that the enemy's damage is split across several attacks by reducing the enemy's strength with cards like Piercing Wail or Dark Shackles. You can also deal damage back to the attacker with
Thorns or Flame Barrier.
If you're playing as the Ironclad, you can even take advantage of the Wounds that you get. Evolve negates the draws you waste by drawing Wounds, Evolve+ gives you even more draws for each Wound you draw, and one or more Fire Breathing cards will deal damage back to the attacker every time a Wound is drawn. If you're not playing as the Ironclad or if you don't have these cards, you can get rid of the Wounds by using cards to Exhaust them, or by using the
Medical Kit relic.
