Fiend Fire

Fiend Fire is a 2-cost Rare Attack card for the Ironclad that Exhausts every other card in your hand and deals 7 damage for each card Exhausted. With a typical hand of 5 cards, this deals 28 damage in a single hit; with extra draw, the damage can exceed 50 or more.

Fiend Fire is the ultimate payoff for Exhaust synergies. Dark Embrace draws a card for each card Exhausted, immediately refilling your hand. Feel No Pain generates 3 Block per Exhaust, providing both offense and defense in one play. Offering and Battle Trance can inflate your hand size before playing Fiend Fire for massive damage. Stoke and Burning Pact help dig for Fiend Fire while fueling the Exhaust count. The Ironclad's Drum of Battle ensures a steady supply of cards to feed the fire.

Fiend Fire is the Ironclad's most explosive single-target Attack. Pick it as the centerpiece of an Exhaust deck, but it can also function as a powerful finisher in any deck with decent hand size. It excels against single-target boss fights like Ceremonial Beast and Knowledge Demon where burst damage wins the fight. Be cautious about Exhausting key Power cards you have not yet played. Against multi-enemy encounters, consider whether Conflagration or Pyre might serve you better.
