Ironclad

Brute force and self-empowerment

The Ironclad is a battle-hardened warrior who grows stronger the longer a fight lasts. With access to Strength scaling, heavy single-hit attacks, and self-healing through Exhaust synergies, the Ironclad excels at building overwhelming power and smashing through enemies before they can keep up.

Playstyle

Ironclad decks typically revolve around stacking Strength to amplify damage output, using Exhaust mechanics to thin the deck and trigger powerful effects, or building a wall of Block while setting up devastating combos. His starting relic heals HP after every fight, giving him a forgiving learning curve for newer players.
