Rocket Punch

Rocket Punch is an uncommon Defect attack costing 2 Energy that deals 13 damage, draws 1 card, and has its cost reduced to 0 whenever a Status card is created during combat. This Status-triggered discount transforms Rocket Punch from a fair attack into a free powerhouse in decks that generate Status cards regularly.

Rocket Punch synergizes with TURBO, Boost Away, Overclock, and Fight Through, all of which create Status cards that reduce Rocket Punch to 0. At 0 cost, All for One retrieves it from discard, and Feral returns it to hand as a 0-cost Attack. Smokestack adds AoE damage alongside each Status creation.

For the Defect, Rocket Punch is a premium attack in Status-generation builds. Against bosses like Doormaker and Lagavulin Matriarch, a free 13-damage attack that draws a card is incredible value. The Status-reduction condition is easy to trigger in decks running TURBO or Overclock. Pair Rocket Punch with All for One for a recursive engine that deals massive free damage every turn.
