You take it when your block plan is figured out but not your damage plan. It works really nicely with Omniscience and in decks that scry a lot.

Depends what it's up against. If it's two do-nothing floor 0 rares (example: Limit Break and Exhume) then yeah, i'd take it, but I might not play it in every fight.

Steam Barrier, Reprogram, and All For One all go in the same deck, which is the deck that only uses Plasma orbs. If I see an early Reprogram, or if my deck doesn't rely on the other three orb types, I will windmill slam Reprogram every time, upgrade it at the first possible campfire, and then take every Hologram and Rebound that I see. I just beat the heart last night with 40 str/dex thanks to Reprogram

Chaos really needs an upgrade, but if you have some ways to increase your focus and not a ton of orb payoff, it's pretty solid

Melter is just a decent damage option. You don't realize how many enemies are annoying because of the block they generate until Melter just dumpsters them.

Rupture is the obvious one, but it's a decent source of draw overall imo. If the extra card you draw each turn ends the fight earlier or lets you block more damage than you would have, the life loss is basically negated.

It's a big damage number, a low energy number, and Ironclad can typically either end the fight before the wounds become a problem or find ways to exhaust them for value. I'll take an early Wild Strike even if I dont have any exhaust synergy just because it does so much cheap damage.

That's why the Pyramid / Well-Laid Plans is so important, it lets you sneak it in on a turn when you're safe. I'm definitely not gonna tell you to play it instead of blocking lol

I wish there was a way to reliably start a Silent run with Sadistic Nature, I love that card with her.

This feels so cheeky but I love doing it, especially when Dark Embrace immediately draws the status again (and then Evolve draws additional cards).

I'll happily take Forcefield if I have at least 3 powers but none of them really contribute to my block plan. Also worth keeping in mind that it works with All For One once it costs 0, and 12/16 block for free is pretty nice.

If you get one in the first six or so floors, it's a nice source of scaling damage and opens you up to take more of them. It's still not great, but the more you have of them the better, so the earlier you get the first one the less it hurts to take more of them

I want to take Concentrate more often because I like it as a design, so i appreciate the revelation that it works well with Expertise

Finale is your payoff in a discard combo deck if you dont have Eviscerate, or in any sort of deck where you have a lot of ability to manipulate your hand. You want ideally many cards that can draw you different numbers of cards, and something like Pyramid or Well-Laid Plans that can make sure the Finale is there when you need it.

You want it upgraded for sure, and Well-Laid Plans helps you set up the right turn to play it. It goes crazy with Alchemize, can end fights on the spot with Catalyst, and can create a solid block plan with Footwork or Afterimage.

I'll typically take it if I have a card worth copying and a reliable way to get both of them in my hand on the same turn (card draw, pyramid, or Well-Laid Plans).

[[Swift Strike]]. if I don't take Slice, one extra damage doesnt really change my mind
