Body Slam

Body Slam is a 1-cost Common Attack card for the Ironclad that deals damage equal to your current Block. With Barricade allowing Block to persist between turns, Body Slam can deal 50, 100, or even more damage in a single hit once enough Block has accumulated.

Body Slam's damage depends entirely on your Block, making Barricade the essential pairing that allows Block to stack. Impervious provides 30 Block in one card, and Tank grants 20 Block, both feeding Body Slam's damage. Shrug It Off generates Block while drawing cards to find Body Slam. Juggernaut complements the Block-stacking strategy with passive damage. Flame Barrier adds both Block and retaliatory damage to the defensive engine.

Body Slam is the Ironclad's premier win condition in Block decks. Pick it alongside Barricade or when you have enough Block generation to make it hit hard even without persistent Block. Against Kaiser Crab, where the fight goes long, Body Slam with Barricade is the ideal strategy. It is weak without Block support and should not be picked in aggressive Strength decks. The Ironclad's ability to generate large Block amounts makes Body Slam one of the highest-ceiling damage cards in the game.
