Revision as of 15:30, 12 September 2018
Thorns is a buff that deals damage to a character's attacker when hit.
For enemies, Thorns only applies for hits dealt by attacks. Thus, cards such as Fire Breathing and relics such as Letter Opener do not trigger thorns.
Thorns is particularly effective against enemies that hit many times in a single attack, such as Byrds or the Book of Stabbing.
