Barricade Block
MediumBarricade stops Block from expiring, and Unmovable doubles your first Block card each turn. Stack a wall in the first few turns, then let Juggernaut and Body Slam turn it into damage. Slow in short fights, nearly unkillable in long ones.
Relics to want
Parrying ShieldUncommon6 damage to a random enemy whenever you end a turn with at least 10 Block. With Barricade up, that's most turns.
OrichalcumUncommon6 Block if you end a turn with none. A free floor while you set the wall up.
Bronze ScalesCommon3 Thorns from turn one. Pairs with Flame Barrier for incidental damage.
How to play it
- Don't take Barricade as your only plan. Before it shows up, Shrug It Off and Flame Barrier have to carry Act 1.
- Body Slam is a finisher. Play your Block cards first or it hits for nothing.
- Keep Impervious for a big enemy turn or a boss opener. It Exhausts, so you only get one go per fight.
