Feed

Feed is a 1-cost Rare Attack card for the Ironclad that deals 10 damage, and if it kills a non-minion enemy, permanently increases your Max HP by 3. The card Exhausts after use. The Max HP gain persists for the rest of the run, making it a scaling card that rewards careful use.

Feed benefits from Inflame and Demon Form to ensure the killing blow lands. Offering provides extra energy and card draw to set up the kill turn. In multi-enemy fights, use Feed to finish off weakened non-minion enemies. Bloodletting provides energy to play Feed alongside other Attacks. The self-Exhaust triggers Dark Embrace and Feel No Pain. Headbutt can retrieve Feed from the discard pile to set up another kill.

Feed is a unique scaling card for the Ironclad that rewards precise play. Pick it early in the run to maximize the number of fights where you can gain Max HP. Against hallway fights with non-minion enemies, carefully plan your damage to ensure Feed gets the kill. Against bosses, the 10 damage is modest but the Exhaust synergies still provide value. The Ironclad starts with lower Max HP than ideal, making Feed permanent HP gains particularly valuable.
