Fight Through

Fight Through is an uncommon Defect skill costing 1 Energy that gains 13 Block and adds 2 Wound status cards into your Discard Pile. The 13 Block is extremely efficient for 1 Energy, but the Wounds can clog future draws since they are Unplayable. This risk-reward dynamic mirrors other Defect status-generating cards.

Fight Through's Wound generation synergizes with Smokestack, which deals 5 damage to ALL enemies for each Status created, triggering twice for 10 total damage. Iteration draws 2 cards when you draw a Wound. Compact transforms Wounds in hand into Fuel, and Disassemble Exhausts the Wounds for Energy and card draw.

For the Defect, Fight Through is an excellent defensive card in Status-synergy builds. Against bosses like Doormaker and Lagavulin Matriarch, 13 Block for 1 Energy is outstanding value. The Wounds are manageable with exhaust effects from Disassemble or transformation from Compact. In builds without Status synergy, Fight Through is still pickable for its raw Block value, as the Wounds are a minor nuisance in small quantities.
