Blade of Ink

Blade of Ink is a 1-cost rare Skill card for the Silent that plays all Shivs currently in your hand at once. This mass Shiv play is incredibly efficient, turning a hand full of Shivs into a single devastating action. Combined with Shiv generation cards, it can deliver enormous burst damage.

Blade of Ink synergizes perfectly with Accuracy, which boosts every Shiv played for maximum damage. Blade Dance fills your hand with 3 Shivs that Blade of Ink then plays all at once. Hidden Daggers adds 3 Shivs next turn for a massive Blade of Ink play. Infinite Blades provides a steady stream of Shivs to accumulate before playing Blade of Ink. Afterimage gains Block for each Shiv played.

Silent players should pick Blade of Ink in dedicated Shiv builds with Accuracy and multiple Shiv generators. It excels against single-target bosses like Knowledge Demon and Test Subject #C10 where concentrated burst damage ends fights quickly. The card is weak without Shiv generation, so only commit to it with substantial Shiv support already in the deck.
