Keywords on this page
🛡 Guard
Absorbs incoming damage. Resets at the start of its turn.
🧶 Barb-Floss
Whenever one of your hits deals 14 or more, you take that much. Decays by 1. Only a genuinely heavy blow drives the barbs deeper — 14 or more..
🕸️ Web-Bound
At the end of your turn your Guard is pinned flat to 0. It costs you the wall, never your HP. One stack fades each turn.
