Go for the Eyes

Deal 3 damage. If the enemy intends to attack, apply 1 Weak.

Go for the Eyes is a common Defect attack costing 0 Energy that deals 3 damage and applies 1 Weak when the enemy intends to attack. This conditional Weak application provides significant damage reduction at zero cost, making it one of the most efficient defensive tools in the Defect's common card pool when its condition is met.

Go for the Eyes fits naturally into the 0-cost suite alongside Claw, Beam Cell, and FTL, all of which are retrieved by All for One. Feral returns the first 0-cost Attack each turn, and Scrape keeps 0-cost cards drawn during its effect. The Weak debuff also stacks with Frost Orb Block from Glacier and Coolheaded for layered defense.

As a Defect card, Go for the Eyes provides valuable mitigation against attack-heavy bosses like Soul Fysh and Ceremonial Beast. The 0-cost means it never competes with your key plays for Energy. In All for One decks, it becomes a reliable source of recurring Weak application. Pick it when facing aggressive encounters, and note that the condition is met frequently enough against most enemies to make it consistently useful.
