Flechettes

Flechettes is a 1-cost uncommon Attack card for the Silent that deals 4 damage for each Skill in your hand when played. In Skill-heavy hands, this can deal significant damage without needing dedicated Attack infrastructure. The damage scales with hand composition rather than any permanent buff.

Flechettes pairs with Backflip and Acrobatics, which draw more cards to potentially increase Skills in hand. Deflect and Escape Plan are zero-cost Skills that stay in hand and boost Flechettes' damage. Expertise fills your hand to 6 cards, increasing the chances of holding many Skills. Cloak and Dagger provides a Skill in hand alongside Block and a Shiv.

Silent players should pick Flechettes in Skill-heavy decks where holding 3-4 Skills at once is common. It provides Attack damage in decks that might otherwise lack offensive output. The card is less effective in Attack-heavy or Shiv-heavy decks where few Skills remain in hand when Flechettes is played.
